Christmas Market in Spandau

Date not announced yet

In Advent, the streets and alleys in the old town of Spandau change into a beautiful Christmas world complete with market stalls and a renaissance fair. This year, Spandau Christmas market moves to the Spandau Citadel (Zitadelle Spandau).

Due to Corona, the traditional Spandau Christmas market will take place in 2020 in the Zitadelle Spandau. Within the complex it is possible to comply with the applicable hygiene and distance regulations. Visitors to the Zitadelle can look forward to numerous stalls even on weekdays. On weekends there are even more, offering a wealth of specialities and delicacies, arts and crafts and Christmas decorations.

Its location in the old town of Spandau - a district on the western outskirts of Berlin - makes this traditional Christmas market such a unique experience. With many market stalls within sight of the tall and festively decorated Christmas tree, vendors offer all kinds of Christmas decorations, gifts, foods and drinks all week long. The market is particularly nice for families. A stage programme including sing-alongs with Santa Claus, who also collects Christmas wishes, are aimed at the younger market-goers. It is planned to return to this established location in 2021.

Although the Spandau Christmas market isn't exactly in the heart of Berlin, it is quite easy to reach by public transport. With S Bahn, U Bahn and regional train it takes only 15 to 25 minutes from the city centre, depending on where you start the journey.
