5 reviews of Mercaditos Christmas

I was not disappointed

Excellent

An absolute delight for the senses: colored lights, the smell of mulled wine with cinnamon and assorted sweets, ice rink, shops of all kinds and lovely atmosphere. All this is what you will find in the various Christmas markets that are scattered around town. Warning: they are only mounted during the time of Advent, on Christmas Eve they are removed. They are called Weihnachtsmarkt, although in certain traditional places they are called Advent market or markets of baby Jesus.

They formerly served as a warm place to shelter the inhabitants of the towns and cities of central Europe during early winter. They eventually became a fixed place for Christmas celebrations.


They have all the things I expected to find, and I was not at all disappointed.

My favourite is the Alexanderplatz, the illuminated ferris wheel and ice rink have a special magic.

You'll find other markets before passing the Castle Bridge and reaching the cathedral (if you are coming from the Brandenburg Gate), opposite the French cathedralr in the Postamer plaza. The illumination of the street and the inside of the Sony building are absolutely spectacular.

P.S. Do not expect to see much of a night view from the ferris wheel. Since it's cold the glass fogs up and you aren't able to see a thing. I do recommend going on the ferris wheel however.

Weihnachtsmärkte

If there is a perfect season to visit Germany it is Christmas. All cities are illuminated and filled with friendly people thanks to traditional Christmas markets. I have already spent three years in Germany and each time I like it more. Each city is filled with fully decorated wooden stalls with lights and Christmas decorations. There is always a lot in the cold environment and everyone drinks the typical mulled wine, that although at first tastes great, warms the body in a minute. Food forms a huge part of the picture. It is exquisite, with giant sausages with grilled meat or the thousands of traditional sweets that taste of glory.

There are also many places of beer and mulled wine and, of course, no shortage of Christmas articles posts. Moreover, in these establishments also sell artesalenales products like soaps, candles, incense, figurines of all kinds, etc.. This last year I went to Berlin and every neighborhood had installed a Christmas market. The difference from other years and over other cities is that in Berlin also installed in rinks markets, so you can also enjoy the atmosphere and the food and drink, you can practice a sport lovely outdoor free. These markets start in early December and stay until the new year arrives. Personally, it's the place where I have been able to feel the Christmas spirit which speaks so often because not miss, do not miss nor cold.

The Christmas markets of Germany

The Christmas markets of Germany are beautiful, especially in Berlin. You can purchase everything from Christmas decorations to typical sausages and you can't leave without trying some of them! They cost about 2.50-3 euros and that's dinner! The largest Christmas markets are in Potsdamer Platz are Alexander Platz, Kurfürstendamm and Gendarmenmarkt.
