  Christmas Funfair Landsberger Allee (Weihnachtsrummel)

  🧒 With kids🎉 With friends

  What's there

  • ★Big funfair with Ferris wheel and ghost train
  • ★Rides for all ages
  • ★Mulled wine bars
  • ★Wednesday family day

  What visitors sayGoogle 4.2 ★ · 633 reviews

  If you like fairground rides, this is the place: a large site, Ferris wheel, ghost train, everything well organised. Several visitors say honestly that it is more a funfair than a Christmas market. It quickly gets expensive for a family - rides around EUR 5, food sometimes overpriced.

  Good for an evening with children or friends who want carousels - if you want a Christmas mood, go to Gendarmenmarkt or Charlottenburg instead.

  • ★Mulled wine, punch, beer, wine and sparkling wine
  • ★Ice stock shooting and nail-hammering

  What visitors sayGoogle 4.5 ★ · 618 reviews

  Most are enthusiastic: a waterside setting, good food with short waiting times, friendly staff - the all-inclusive system shortens the queues. Portions are deliberately small; the early time slot is the most relaxed.

  Not a classic stroll-around market but an evening at a fixed price - worth it for groups who want to eat and drink a lot; too expensive for a quick mulled wine.

  What visitors sayGoogle 3.9 ★ · 49 reviews

  The backdrop with ice rink, Ferris wheel and TV Tower is fantastic, and families praise the festive mood. Many, however, complain about sharply higher prices (bratwurst EUR 5.50), repetitive snack stalls and trouble with deposits and billing at individual stalls.

  Berlin's classic family market with the best backdrop - keep an eye on prices and change.
