Anyone who wants to experience the incomparable charm of
“WinterMagic” has to come to Berlin!
Berlin is the capital city of the German Christmas Markets.
Whether you prefer a contemplative and magical Christmas
market or a lively and urban one, this year Berlin offers
you a choice of sixty Christmas Markets.
Allow yourself to discover the vendor booths’ magic, charm,
and unique items along the large boulevards and squares as
well as on the small side streets and even in several
museums.
This year marks the second time a Christmas market will be
held in front of Charlottenburg Castle. The Christmas Market
will feature the Biedermeier period. Historic carriage
rides, theme exhibits in the palace itself, and specialized
lighting will feature the fascinating era between 1815 and
1848.
WeihnachtsZauber on Gendarmenmarkt is another classic
Christmas Market that deserves a mention. The Gendarmenmarkt
is one of the most beautiful squares in Europe and is the
exquisite setting for one of Berlin's many Christmas markets
- the historical Berlin Christmas market - which will whisk
you away to a magical Christmas world full of scrumptious
treats and fairy lights.
A new Christmas market, in which the nearby embassies of
Great Britain, France, and the United States will be
featuring their Christmas customs, will be opening again
between the two Christmas markets at the Brandenburg Gate.
The heart of “WinterMagic” beats particularly strongly on
the Potsdamer Platz and in the Sony Centre, where there is a
Christmas Market on the Sony Centre’s 4,000 square metre
event area. “Boccia on Ice,” in an area protected from
inclement weather, is another new attraction for the adults,
while the kids can enjoy themselves in the neighboring
Legoland Discovery Centre.
There is another small and subdued Christmas market along
the Alte Potsdamer Strasse, but the main attraction in the
middle of Potsdamer Platz is Winterwelt, featuring Europe’s
largest mobile toboggan run. |
