Beautiful Christmas market, the best one I have ever been too!! You pay €1 to enter but it’s so lovely everyone is really nice and in the Christmas spirit. There are lots of trinket and food stalls( either a quick snack or sit down restraunts)....More

Wonderful place to visit and have a nice hot chocolate nearby as a brake. Usually people feel relaxed during a fine day like today. We will be back

Nice square

Gendarmenmarkt, an 18th-century square, which features a 19th-century concert hall and two neoclassical identical churches. One is the Französischer Dom, or French dome, and the other is the Deutscher Dom, or German dome, due to the affiliation of its participants to those communities. As most...More

One of the best

Visited 4 Christmas markets in Berlin 2018. Easily this is the favourite. It's not the biggest, and that's a good thing. Very little is repeated. so many options for food you could eat and drink for a month. Some fantastic small Christmas orientated gifts. Some...More

Best Christmas Market in Berlin

We came from the hot desert specifically to visit this market. We had planned this Christmas trip with Berlin in mind and Gendarmenmarkt was number one on our list of Markets to visit. The best thing about this place is the placement of the bathrooms....More

so much

This is actually quite a small square considering it has two cathedrals and a concert hall - historically speaking as at least one is now repurposed. an attractive place that hosts a christmas market and is midway between the Brandenburg gate and Check point Charlie

Best Christmas Market I’ve Visited!

I loved every moment at this beautiful Christmas Market. Nothing says European Christmas like a Christmas Market at night with the lights and wonderful street food and drink. I especially love the mulled wine.

I didn’t need to go to the bathroom while visiting but there are a few hotels in the area which I am sure you can pop in to use their restrooms.

Opens at 11am and closes at 10pm. It’s not huge but there is a big range of lots of crafty stuff and handmade bits also don’t forget to pick up a gluhwein mug as a souvenir. The covered stores are the best for quality but... More

Berlin during reunification festival? (2 Replies)

Should we book a hotel room close to the Brandenburg Gate during the reunification festival Oct. 2015 or are the crowds and amusement festivities just too much? Should we stay around the Gendarmenmarkt Square area for a less "carnival" atmosphere?

Which hotel did you have in mind? The Adlon? Cause that's the only one that would be affected.

4 days in Berlin - itinerary help please (5 Replies)

Hello TripaAdvisor community, I'll be visiting Berlin next week and have spent some time coming up with an itinerary. Would love some feedback and any recommendations on places I may have missed. Also we love trying local food (currywurst is already on the to-do list) so I'd really appreciate some suggestions for good, traditional (not too expensive) places to eat around Mitte.

Looks already pretty good, I'd say. What do you intend to see or do in Grunewald forest, the Gleis 17 memorial at the station? Wouldn't it be better and easier to visit Kurfuerstendamm and Tauentzienstrasse with the KaDeWe department store in former West Berlin instead, if you already are in Tiergarten and Charlottenburg? I don't think Tuesday is packed. You'll need some time for the Topography of Terror and the Jewish Museum, but East Side Gallery, the river and Oberbaumbridge won't...More

You know that is impossible. One would suggest to spent at least 4 days in Berlin. With your limited time, see what you want to do the most. Some attractions you might be able to walk from one to another. But you can not do all of what you described in a couple hours. No way
