Christmas market in Neukölln is a beloved tradition that takes place on the second weekend of Advent. Set in a historic neighborhood, the market offers a unique, nostalgic atmosphere.

Donkeys, kerosene lamps, and hand-crafted decorations replace electric lights, creating an ambiance of warmth and serenity that feels like stepping back in time.
Unlike commercialized markets, the Alt-Rixdorf Christmas market focuses on community and charity. Over 100 Berlin clubs and associations set up Christmas stalls, where they sell a variety of handcrafted goods, including toys, jewelry, and local crafts. Each stall supports charitable projects, making shopping here a feel-good experience. As you explore, enjoy a warm drink, such as honey mead or the locally famous Rixdorfer liqueur, perfect for keeping cozy in the winter chill.
This market offers more than just holiday shopping. The blend of traditional craft, history, and charity makes it a special place to visit during the Advent season.
