A suburb of old West Berlin which still feels like a medieval village a million miles away from Berlin. Full of 12 and 13th century timber-framed houses straight from a children's story. Off the tourist trail but it's worth seeing for an idea of how Berlin was before the wall was erected.
U-bahn line 7 will take you into heart of Spandau.
U-bahn stop 'Altstadt Spandau' on the U7, for a a big, glorious Christmas Market in the old town. It runs, in traditional style, from late November on - best after dark.
