Note: Sadly, this Christmas market closed in 2022. However, as we love beautiful Christmas markets like this, we’ll leave this up as a memory of what once existed.

Hot Glühwein? Check. Tasty sausage roasted over an open fire? Check. Good friends? Check. A castle, the Schloss Charlottenburg? Check.

If you’ve checked all of these items off, you’ve just spent a perfect day or night at one of Berlin’s most picturesque and romantic Christmas markets, the Weihnachtsmarkt Schloss Charlottenburg.
