magical one, and perhaps the most photogenic as demonstrated here. Although quite recent &#8212; the market officially opened in 2007 &#8212; it really doesn&#8217;t feel like a novelty thanks to the 300-year-old royal palace, all lit up for the occasion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are approximately 150 vendors &#8212; making it one of Berlin&#8217;s largest markets &#8212; selling traditional items, like arts &amp; crafts, ancient handicrafts, jewellery, clothing as well as several gourmet foods. Because of its extremely traditional approach, baroque soundtrack and exceptional backdrop, this particular market is the perfect introduction to German Christmas markets\u00a0and a great starting point to any market tour. The Palace also offers special guided visits of its state rooms in December.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iconic Gendarmenmarkt<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

href=\"https:\/\/www.berlin.de\/en\/christmas-markets\/3240367-3230598-lucia-christmas-market-at-kulturbrauerei.en.html\">the Swedish Christmas market at the Kulturbrauerei<\/a> in hipster-approved Prenzlauer Berg is the perfect place to go. This ensemble of 20 historic buildings, 6 charming courtyards and 50 cabins is kind of a living postcard of Scandinavia, with Swedish flags everywhere, abundant glogg stands and even a Kettenkarussell. Dedicated to Saint Lucia \u2014the Nordic goddess of light, and one of the few celebrated saints in Sweden\u2014 this market offers plenty of candle-lit corners, yummy Lussekatt buns and cosy stalls, in true Nordic fashion.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Weihnachtszeit, the eco-friendly one<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

present times; whereas some traditions are still observed, this market opts for a more natural, green approach. Natural products and organic food abound, as well as arts and crafts made from recycled materials and created by local artisans. There are other similar markets around the city but this particular one is the most accessible and fun one, located at the foot of the Rathaus and the iconic Fernsehturm, the TV tower.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is also a favourite one among youngsters \u2014 both kids and those young at heart! \u2014 thanks to a (free!) ice-skating rink and thrilling 50 meters high Ferris wheel, a life-sized nativity scene with real animals and a mini-farm, as well as scheduled Santa Claus visits. Visitors will appreciate the eco-friendly stalls, decorated in an early 19th-century German style, which is a nice change from the traditional wooden cabins normally found in markets.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alexanderplatz, or the busy one<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-19.jpg\" alt=\"berlin christmas market\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-19.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-19-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-19-875x583.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-19-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-19-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-19-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-19-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-19-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-19-1360x906.jpg 1360w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-19-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/>[left]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-1.jpg\" alt=\"berlin christmas market\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-1-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-1-450x675.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-1-533x800.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/> [\/left][right]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-17.jpg\" alt=\"berlin christmas market\" width=\"1757\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-17.jpg 1757w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-17-264x300.jpg 264w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-17-875x996.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-17-768x874.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-17-1349x1536.jpg 1349w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-17-1054x1200.jpg 1054w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-17-450x512.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-17-703x800.jpg 703w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-17-1360x1548.jpg 1360w, https:\/\/www.toeuropeandbeyond.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/christmas-market-in-berlin-17-800x911.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1757px) 100vw, 1757px\" \/>[\/right]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this instance, busy is quite the understatement.
