Christmas Events in Berlin
Tobogganing in the centre of Berlin
Potsdamer Platz is one of Berlin's most famous squares. In the middle of the capital, visitors to the Christmas market can whizz down the 12 metre high toboggan run. Ice princesses will find a winter paradise with a large skating rink not far from the centre at Potsdamer Platz, where you can also warm up at the surrounding restaurants.
Enjoy delicious delicacies - indoor and outdoor
A walk around the Christmas market’s stands is even cosier. The smell of mulled wine, bratwurst and roasted almonds in the air entices you to try some of the market’s culinary delights. In the Schmankerl and Salzburger Stiegl wooden huts you can enjoy Austrian specialities indoors. You can marvel at the handmade art and jewellery at the stands and buy any last-minute Christmas presents.
