There are sweet and savory stands, gingerbread, and hot and cold drinks. If your kid is picky, bring a snack.

Can we keep the drinks glass?

The drinks stands serve in glasses designed for this market, and plenty of visitors take one home as a souvenir.

The market is outdoors and Berlin in December is cold and damp. Wear warm layers and waterproof boots, and bring gloves for the kids.

About

A Christmas market in front of Charlottenburg Palace, with craft stalls, food stands and street musicians among fir trees and lit decorations. Once it gets dark, a light-mapping show plays across the palace facade. Kids ride the carousels and watch the palace light up, while parents browse handmade gifts and grab mulled wine or gingerbread. It suits younger kids who like lights and rides.
