Christmas Markets
During the festive season more than 40 Christmas markets around
the city attract visitors with typical arts and crafts, Christmas
lights and decorations, and the smell of Glühwein, gingerbread
and roasted nuts. Santa Claus, music and dance, fairy tales and
puppetry are there to entertain the children while shoppers can
browse past antique toys and doll makers, candles, woodcarvers, and
a variety of traditional goods. The largest Christmas market in
Europe is said to be in the suburb of Spandau, where the stalls are
spread out throughout the Old Town and provide a particularly
traditional experience.
