Christmas market at Alexanderplatz

Christmas Market in Berlin from 23 November to 26 December 2026

"Something new is taking shape..." in the run-up to Christmas at Alexanderplatz: bathed in warm light and harmoniously decorated in shades of sand, the Christmas market is clustered around the Fountain of Friendship between Nations

This is how one of Berlin’s most famous squares will shine in new festive splendour in 2026. At the World Clock, where the hours of all continents converge, Berlin celebrates Christmas with the world: traditions from Germany and other countries meet new ideas, lending the market its special flair amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.

Discover festive stalls, international specialities and classic treats, and enjoy the festive atmosphere right in the heart of Berlin. The blend of Berlin’s big-city life, international influences and Christmas traditions makes the market a wonderful meeting place for visitors to Berlin, groups of friends, couples and families.


Tips for your visit to the Christmas market on Alexanderplatz

Combine your stroll around the Christmas market with a visit to the museums on Museum Island. Or make the most of the central location and do your last-minute Christmas shopping in the surrounding shops or at the Alexa shopping centre.
