A festive atmosphere, extraordinary stalls and traditional craftsmanship: welcome to one of Berlin's most popular Christmas markets.

Every year, the Christmas market attracts around 800,000 visitors to the historic setting on Gendarmenmarkt. Due to construction work, the Christmas market moved to nearby Bebelplatz from 2022 to 2024. This year, it returns to its traditional spot on Gendarmenmarkt.
