Hello,
We will be in Berlin in early December, and will visit our first ever Christmas markets! I would sincerely appreciate any recommendations regarding the best parts of the city to stay in since visiting Christmas markets is our top priority, and would also appreciate any hotel recommendations.
Thanks very much!
Mike
Berlin has Christmas Markets in various tastes, some on weekends only (reco for Dec 6-8 is Alt-Rixdorf). While the ones on Alexanderplatz are very partyish / entertaining, others are focussing more on Christmas related topics. You can see that they are spread over the city. Btw: the Gendarmenmarkt one is moved to Bebelplatz this year.
Hotel recommendations depend very much on price level and kind of hotel style. Staying along the central train axis between Alexanderplatz and Zoologischer Garten is meaningful.
Staying around Zoo you will have a beloved Christmas Market infront of your doors and / or windows. Also the buses to Charottenburg Palace with Christmas Market (?) start from there.
If you like the partyish ones stay at Alexanderplatz.
