Concerts, festive events and Christmas markets everywhere: Berlin at Christmas time
At Christmas time, the German capital is transformed into a light-filled backdrop full of events - from festive to fun, from exciting to relaxing. Come to Berlin - and stay for Christmas Eve and New Year! Experience the most wonderful time of the year in a very special way:
Visit the diverse Christmas markets in Berlin: today, candle-making with the family at Domäne Dahlem, tomorrow, experience jugglers and acrobats at the atmospheric Bebelplatz. Or discover fine jewellery and high-quality craftsmanship at Karl-August-Platz. In the evening, attend a performance of the famous ballet The Nutcracker, enjoy witty cabaret or listen to festive Advent concerts and Christmas oratorios in the atmospheric baroque Charlottenburg Palace or one of Berlin's festively decorated churches.
