Christmas Market Tour in Berlin for Groups

Discover the festive side of the capital with your group on a Christmas market tour through Berlin. Accompanied by a local guide, you’ll stroll through Berlin decked out in festive decorations, visit four different Christmas markets and learn interesting facts about German and Berlin Christmas traditions. The Christmas tour, lasting around two hours, combines atmospheric Christmas markets with famous Berlin landmarks and takes you from Hackescher Markt to Gendarmenmarkt. Along the way, there’ll be time for photo opportunities, soaking up the festive atmosphere and enjoying a warming glass of mulled wine – non-alcoholic options are available on request.

Public tours or exclusive group tours

Groups can choose from two options: tickets for the public Christmas market tour, which takes place in English, or an exclusive Christmas market tour for your group, which can be booked in German or English.

Discover Berlin’s Christmas markets together

The Christmas market tour of Berlin starts at Hackescher Markt and first takes you to the Humboldt Forum in the reconstructed Berlin Palace, where you’ll discover a small winter market set against a backdrop of festive lights. The tour then takes you past famous landmarks such as the TV Tower, Alexanderplatz, the Neptune Fountain and the Red Town Hall. Here you’ll experience the lively atmosphere of the Berlin Christmas season before continuing on to the historic Nikolaiviertel. Amidst medieval-style houses and narrow alleyways, your guide will tell you more about German Christmas traditions. You can warm up with a mulled wine or a non-alcoholic alternative whilst soaking up the festive atmosphere.

The tour concludes at the Christmas market on Gendarmenmarkt. Following an introduction from your guide, you’re free to explore the market at your own pace, discover arts and crafts, or sample traditional Christmas specialities.
