Overview
Experience Berlin’s finest Christmas Markets with a local English-speaking guide, soak up the dazzling cosy atmosphere and listen to exciting stories and fun facts about Germany's many Christmas traditions along the way. Sip on Glühwein, traditional German mulled wine, eat gingerbread hearts and roasted candied nuts, and shop for that perfect traditional Christmas gift to put under the tree at home.
Our guided tour will start from the impressive Brandenburg Gate with its beautifully illuminated Christmas tree and finish at the lively Alexanderplatz near the City Hall (the so-called "Rotes Rathaus") and the TV tower. Pass by important landmarks such as the State Opera, Humboldt University, the former City Palace and the stunning Berlin Cathedral.
Along the way, listen to exciting stories and fun facts about Germany's many Christmas traditions: When did the first Christmas tree appear in Berlin? What do potatoes have to do with Christmas? How did Berliners celebrate Christmas during WWI and WWII?
At the markets you will have time to take some wonderful photos, treat yourself to a spicy mulled wine and freshly baked gingerbread to warm up, browse the charming wooden stalls for unique handcrafted gifts, and soak up the magical lights and festive decorations that transform Berlin into a true winter wonderland.
We will finish the tour conveniently close to two more Christmas markets where you can round off your experience after the tour with ice-skating, a unique ferris wheel ride with a fantastic view over the illuminated city or a classic Bratwurst.
