Lucia Christmas Market

Taking its name and influence from the Nordic goddess of light, the Lucia Christmas Market is a festive party with a difference. All things Scandinavian are embraced here, although its stunning location on the grounds of a 19th century brewery adds a distinctly Germanic tinge to the whole thing. It works in every single way, and those looking for a unique Christmas experience in Berlin need look no further. There will be plenty of Scandinavian innovation on show, including a special open air coat heater that must be experienced. A magical location, forward thinking attractions and even a visit from Santa Claus himself make this a must-visit market in the capital. Open from November 25 to December 22. Full programme here.
