As the festive season approaches, the Gendarmenmarkt is the perfect place to be! Surrounded by magnificent buildings, Berlin’s most beautiful square will sure leave you impressed.

One of Berlin's most beautiful squares . A Ritter Sport Bunte Schokowelt is right down the street. Make your own chocolate flavor & it's ready for you in 30 minutes. Enjoy your creation in this square.

The best Christmas Market in Berlin, lots of traditional foods and drinks to try from plus theatrical and dance happenings! Be sure to try Bratwurst and German bread .

It was very near our hotel so we enjoyed our time at the numerous cafes . You can hear the fiddlers perform as you sit and relax at the cafes . The konzerthaus and the French Dome are nearby

Beautiful historical place with the Franzosicher (French) & Deutscher (German) Domes, as well as the Konzerthaus (Theater ).

The Ritz-Carlton

This square, created in the 17th century, is named after the stables of the cuirassier regiment "Gens d'Armes". In the summertime you can listen to classical music in the middle of the square.

Alessandro Mingione

From late November there's an amazing market dedicated to handmade goods and real German festive food!

Impressive square where two imposingly domed buildings called the Französischer Dom and the Deutscher Dom  frame the rightly admired Konzerthaus .

Maks Tarr

Beautiful place, on stairs of the concert hall you can sit and enjoy the wi-fi (it’s slow, but faster inside the building)

TsuYueh Tsai

A Must seen museum (Parliament history museum ) and historical concert hall in Berlin.

boubou lina

The best Christmas market in the city ! Try to be there when they lighten the tree !its real magic!!

Freefri A.

It is Berlin’s most graceful square. The twin churches of Deutscher Dom and Französischer Dom frame Schinkel’s Konzerthaus to form a superbly har-monious architectural trio.

Joud Al Kateb

By far my favorite Plaza in Berlin ???? simply breathtaking!

Dimitry Leonov

Magnificent dome in the heart of the Mitte. There was a Christmas market nearby although they wanted admission fee to enter that was weird to me.

Jude Lee

One of the nicest squares in Berlin . I think this is the best with great lookout.

Daz Clark

Insane Christmas market . €1 entry was fully justified by the completely bonkers German Christmas pantomime/show. I thought somebody had put LSD in my Gluehwein

Khalid Almowaizri

Nice shopping malls . Don't forget to pass by the best chocolatier in Berlin, the Fassbender & Rausch

Phat Buoy

Cracking plaza - surrounded by beautiful architecture . Do forget to come here in December for Christmas Markets !

Bahman S

Very beautiful square in a beautiful neighborhood .

Evren Akgül

Nice place. Have a beer and curry wurst and watch people in the square.

Daniel Kongsayasak

Look at the two churches on the two ends. It is a super nice place for playing the "spot the differences" game. :)

Andrea

Beautiful place! Take the steps to get a beautiful view from the französische Dom ! Watch out for thieves !

GowithOh

The German and French cathedral both found in the one Berlin square!

Ayush Aggarwal

Best place to watch in Berlin structurally good

It's great in the evening. Nice places to dine specially for a date night candle light dinner :)

Nice place of old architecture (late 1600). Doesn’t even look like most of it was destroyed during WWII, everything was restored.

Great atmosphere & friendly people
