At Potsdamer Platz, winter sports and a Christmas market come together during the Christmas season. Winter World invites visitors to go tobogganing, while the Christmas market offers a more relaxed atmosphere.
The Winter World winter sports center at Potsdamer Platz is a major attraction and a highlight among Berlin's winter attractions.
Tobogganing at Potsdamer Platz
Unlike traditional Christmas markets, Winter World at Potsdamer Platz offers a more active experience. A particular highlight is the 12-meter-high and 70-meter-long winter slide. The toboggan run boasts a view of the Brandenburg Gate and its colorful disco lights are sure to delight visitors of all ages. Afterwards, the aspiring athletes, both young and old, will be treated to bratwurst, roasted almonds, mulled wine, crêpes, and other festive fare at various stalls.
Mulled wine and handicrafts at Potsdamer Platz
Those who prefer a more relaxed and less active experience can head to the illuminated linden trees of Alte Potsdamer Straße. There, starting at the end of November, a craft market and numerous stalls offering Christmas snacks await visitors. Last-minute Christmas shoppers can look forward to handmade gifts, Christmas decorations, and children's toys.
