Beautiful Berlin: The City's Most Photogenic Sites

If you love all things Christmas, then Berlin is the perfect destination for you. That's because the city glows with holiday lights into the wee hours, sparkling and twinkling under a million tiny bulbs. Locals get to browse through over 60 seasonal markets across town, but the best is the Gendarmenmarkt Christmas Market. Gendarmenmarkt is one of the most popular town squares, and t's perfectly located for out-of-towners because you get to see many spectacular buildings at once: the Deutscher Dom (German church), the Französischer Dom (French church), and the Berlin Concert Hall.

The market stays open until New Year’s Eve, so you can keep the festive spirit alive longer with special treats like white chocolate-milk, fried apples and handcrafted goods.
