Experience the magic of Christmas in Berlin and join our expert local guide on an enchanting journey through Berlin’s Christmas Markets.
Our guided tour will start from the beautifully illuminated Brandenburg Gate with its iconic Christmas tree and finish at the lively Alexanderplatz near the City Hall (the "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?
Of course, we will visit the markets, too. We have selected three of the finest Christmas Markets with breath-taking backdrops and will give you some time to stroll through. 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 dazzling lights and festive decorations that transform Berlin into a true winter wonderland.
We will finish the tour close to two more Christmas markets where you can round off your experience after the tour with ice-skating, a ferris wheel ride with a fantastic view over the city or a classic Bratwurst.
