Berlin Christmas market FAQs
How many Christmas markets are there in Berlin?
There are over 100 Christmas markets in Berlin. No matter where you go in Berlin, you’ll find one near you.
What date do the Christmas markets start in Berlin?
In 2024 most Berlin Christmas markets start on the 25th of November, the day after Totensonntag. There are exceptions though, like the Winter World, which already opens on the 1st of November. The LGBTQIA Winterdays are from November 8 to 23 and the historical market at RAW starts on November 14th.
When are the Berlin Christmas markets?
Most of the Berlin Christmas markets open their doors at the end of November and continue to delight visitors until Christmas. Some even stay open into the new year if you haven’t had your fill of mulled wine.
Most Christmas markets are closed on Totensonntag, a public holiday in Germany that falls on Sunday the 24th of November this year. Check the individual opening hours as some have reduced hours on the holidays or on weekdays.
How expensive are Berlin Christmas markets?
The majority of Berlin Christmas markets are free. However, some charge for special attractions and of course, you will want to have some cash for mulled wine, snacks, and souvenirs. Last year a cup of mulled wine cost an average of 4,50 € so chances are it will be slightly more this year. Keep some change on you, as most stalls charge a deposit for their cups.
Where should I stay in Berlin for Christmas markets?
Since there are so many Christmas markets all over Berlin, it really doesn’t matter where you stay – chances are, a Christmas market will be close by. Rather, find a location that is easily accessible by public transport and that fits within your price range. If you want to save, try to book your hotel in Berlin further in advance, as prices can go up over the holidays.
