Every year, we look forward to the Christmas season. A cosy atmosphere arises, a sweet scent of cinnamon, mulled wine, and oranges fills the air and we snuggle up warmly and cozy. Cities and towns across Europe light up in beautiful Christmas decorations and the weeks of Christmas Markets begin. Of course, there are incredible Christmas markets all around the continent but today, we want to take you on a tour of the best Christmas markets in Berlin that you should not miss!
Christmas Market at Gendarmenmarkt
This is a popular classic German Christmas market. The location is already breathtaking and beautiful without the Christmas decorations and the market booths but they definitely make it extra special. In between the German and French Cathedral and the Berlin concert house, you will find yourself strolling and enjoying some delicious mulled wine and food from different cuisines.
Christmas Market at the Berlin City Hall
One of the most central and easy-to-reach Christmas markets is definitely this one by the Berlin City Hall. Besides the great food, drinks and souvenirs you can get here, a huge highlight is the ice rink. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, go for a little spin in Berlin during Christmas!
If you like it a little cosier and smaller, this is the Christmas Market for you while you visit Berlin in December. Taking inspiration from Scandinavian countries (and they definitely know how to do Christmas) this is a very special Christmas market. Instead of mulled wine, you can enjoy the famous Glöggi and other specialities from Sweden, Norway and other Nordic countries.
Historical Christmas Market at the RAW compound
This Christmas Market takes a little different approach than the classical ones. Here you can watch jugglers and acrobats that make their rounds through the crowd. Buy some special Christmas gifts or try our archery and crossbow. This will be a Christmas Market visit you definitely won’t forget.
