From the cheese conveyor belt in the Kerb Food Hall to an entire floor of Asian cuisine, the Manifesto Market offers 20 different restaurants and bars with a diverse range of dishes from ramen and Korean BBQ to Japanese wagyu and whiskey. DJ sets, cultural events and pop-up markets complete the experience concept - including at Christmas time, of course.

Tips for your visit to the Christmas markets in Manifesto Market
Surprise your family with a visit to the"Upside Down" selfie museum, perfect for a fun souvenir picture of your Christmas trip to Berlin. Nearby you will find highlights such as the Panoramapunkt or the futuristic centre (formerly the Sony Center), which this year invites you to enjoy winter fun with a large ice rink . A detour to the Winter World with toboggan run at Potsdamer Platz is also worthwhile, as is a visit to the new Cirque du Soleil show Alizé in the theatre at Potsdamer Platz.
For a last drink, head to the Alchemist or the Japanese speakeasy bar HIMITSU. HIMITSU was honoured by Falstaff as "Best New Bar in Germany" for its curated cocktails and concept, which combines good drinks with Japanese snacks and DJ sets.
