A Blend of Historical Charm and Modernity
In the heart of Berlin, between the historic Marienkirche and the imposing Red Town Hall, the Christmas market takes visitors on a journey back to 19th-century Berlin. Large facades replicating the architecture of that era create an atmosphere where the old Berlin feels almost tangible. Craftsmen demonstrate their skills and offer unique gifts, ranging from jewelry to woodwork.
A Paradise for Children
For young visitors, the Christmas market is pure magic. Three times a day, Santa Claus flies over the amazed crowd in his sleigh. Historic carousels and rides provide fun and nostalgia, while storytellers and puppeteers spark the imagination.
Unique Experiences
One of the highlights is the ice rink surrounding the Neptune Fountain. It attracts skaters during the day and becomes the stage for spectacular ice shows in the evening. The Ferris wheel, another landmark of the market, offers breathtaking views over the city from 50 meters up. In heated VIP gondolas, you can even enjoy this view with a glass of champagne.
Culinary Delights
No Christmas market would be complete without the enticing aromas of roasted almonds, mulled wine, and hearty treats. From traditional smoked salmon and hand-baked bread to baked apples, the culinary variety is impressive. In the cozy mulled wine taverns, visitors can experience Berlin’s hospitality with surprise performances.
The Berliner Weihnachtszeit at the Red Town Hall is a feast for all senses. Here, Berlin’s historic elegance blends with the joy of the holiday season to create an unforgettable experience. Whether strolling through the old Berlin market lane, skating under the open sky, or enjoying the panoramic view from the Ferris wheel, this market leaves no wish unfulfilled.
