Destination? Weihnachtsmarkt vor dem Schloss Charlottenburg, Christmas Market, Berlin, Germany, Festive, Open Air Wood Huts, Advent is here!!
Christmas Markets go back to the late Middle Ages. In Berlin, Germany, as I have stated in previous posts there are 60 markets. During my visit I had the opportunity to visit 3 different markets. Believe me they all celebrate the Advent Season; they are all slightly different. We arrived late afternoon to Weihnachtsmarkt vor dem Schloss Charlottenburg. I loved this market. It is one of the biggest ones and the Palace of Charlottenburg is the backdrop for this market. During the evening you can see the palace take different hues.
It is located at Spandamer Damm 14059 Berlin. It opens all day. For more info., please visit http://www.wvdsc.de.
You may find this market on Facebook. For other info. you may visit http://www.christmasmarkets.com.
The open air wood huts are decorated with natural materials. You will find mulled wine, marzipan, fresh baked goods, roasted chestnuts, local crafts, and this particular one had rides for the kids.
Berlin is not ashamed of saying Merry Christmas….The Nativity Scene!!
One of my favorite huts was the following….it got my attention the moment I saw the smoking salmon.
And then my sandwich. It was so good that you had to taste it to get the full experience. If you get a chance to visit this market, this hut is to the right as you come into the market.
These markets offer something for everyone. So neat to see everyone enjoying themselves…celebrating the Season. With all the turmoil in the world we certainly need, and deserve these festivities.
