The Christmas market on the RAW site can be reached via the entrance on the corner of Revaler Straße and Dirschauer Straße. This historic market transforms Berlin’s vibrant party grounds into a medieval wonderland. Visitors are welcomed by jugglers and acrobats who perform thrilling fire shows. They also play historical music, setting the scene for a unique Christmas experience.
Unlike traditional markets, you won’t find colorful Christmas lights or plastic decorations here. Instead, the market showcases numerous stands that offer handcrafted goods such as wood carvings and wrought ironwork. These traditional crafts give the market a special charm and make it stand out. The hand-operated wooden carousel and the giant wooden wheel for children add to the market’s old-world appeal with their uniqueness.
For those seeking more excitement, the market offers archery and crossbow shooting. These activities cater to both young and old visitors. They provide an interactive way to enjoy the festive atmosphere while embracing medieval traditions.
The market also caters well to food and drink. The taverns serve both sweet and savory dishes, offering a hearty taste of seasonal flavors. To stay warm, visitors can enjoy mulled wine, Feuerzangenbowle, or mulled beer, popular winter drinks that add to the festive cheer.
The Christmas market on the RAW site provides a unique and immersive way to celebrate the holiday season.
