All of Berlin seems to be turning into one giant Christmas village the weeks before Christmas – end November is when hundreds of Christmas stands open their doors on countless Berlin Christmas markets throughout the German capital, offering anything from handcraft to typical German gingerbread. And Glühwein of course, a tasty version of spiced wine which keeps you warm while mingling with the Berliners out on the streets. Or squares, such as Gendarmenmarkt: the Christmas market which takes place there is also famous for its culinary offer (starts 23/11). Charlottenburg Castle is another setting which you shouldn’t miss when touring Berlin Christmas Markets (starts 23/11). Thanks to its Christmas markets, travelling to Berlin is a nice idea to spend your New Year’s Eve or Christmas.
