    The cosmopolitan city of Berlin is a great place to spend Christmas. Wrap up warm and set out in the snow to explore this fantastic city with its mix of ancient and modern history. Call in at the Christmas markets in Potsdamer platz, see the beautiful Sony Centre lit up in blue lights. Try an alternative Christmas dinner – the Berlin classic currywurst (a curried sausage) and a beer then join a million people for the famous New Year's Eve party at the Brandenburg gate complete with a fairground, live music and the midnight fireworks - Fröhliche Weihnachten!

    Weihnachtsmarkt am Gendarmenmarkt

    Posted by Katze 24 September 2005

    This is a huge traditional Christmas market in the (former East) centre of Berlin.

    Take the underground to Unter den Linden or the number 100 bus.
