Christmas Markets in Berlin

As we walked through the markets the Christmas smells instantly hit us, the atmosphere was buzzing and we were immediately in the Christmas spirit. We were both feeling hungry when we arrived which was a good thing. There was so much on offer, from German sausage to waffles, locally produced cheese to Christmas chocolates and we tried it all. For me the best thing was the mulled wine, there’s nothing better to get you in the Christmas mood.

We stayed at Hotel Indigo, which was a perfect location for the Christmas markets at Alexander Platz which included small fairground rides, a Ferris wheel and vendors selling arts and crafts such as pottery and Christmas baubles.

We walked around the stalls stopping at each for a look, a quick bite or a tipple. We took a ride on the Ferris and enjoyed the view of the market from high up, this was a great opportunity for pictures and videos.

The next market we visited was Winterwelt am Potsdamer Platz, this was another great location and easy for us to get to using public transport. The highlight here was the Toboggan run, we screamed all the way down!

Our last stop before heading to the airport from our flight home was Breitscheidplatz, this was my personal favourite. The smells of roasted almonds, the sounds of Christmas classics and beautifully decorated stalls, it was very traditional and everything you would imagine a Christmas market to be.

I loved my time in Berlin and I’m looking forward to visiting more Christmas markets in the future.
