Advent
29 Locations - Page 2
Advent transforms Berlin into one of the busiest and most atmospheric times of the year, as the four weeks before Christmas fill the city with markets, lights and seasonal food. Advent is when squares from Gendarmenmarkt to Alexanderplatz set up stalls, and cafes turn to mulled wine and baked treats. This tag collects Berlin locations that come into their own during the season.
Christmas markets are the centrepiece, with crafts, roasted almonds and Gluehwein drawing crowds after dark. Churches host concerts, department stores dress their windows, and bakeries sell Stollen and Lebkuchen by the counter. Many spots stay open late so an after work stroll can double as a chance to shop for gifts.
Browse the venues below to plan an advent outing, from traditional markets to quieter corners of the city.
