Berlin – Swedish Christmas Market 2026
What to expect
Swedish Christmas Market Berlin 2026 takes place from Friday, 27 November, to Sunday, 29 November 2026 at the Swedish Victoria Congregation in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. The Swedish Embassy confirms that it is held on the first weekend of Advent and lists the daily opening times. You can sample Swedish specialities and browse festive gift ideas and handicrafts.
Swedish Christmas Market Berlin 2026: Date and Location
The Swedish Church holds its traditional Christmas market at Landhausstraße 26–28, 10717 Berlin. This places the event in Berlin's Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district, rather than at one of the city's large, central Christmas market sites. The Victoria Congregation has established its church and community rooms as a meeting place for Swedish traditions in Berlin. The Christmas market is also explicitly announced as an event taking place on the first weekend of Advent. The official embassy website lists each of the three days separately for 2026.
Swedish delicacies and Julbasar
Traditional Swedish food and drink take centre stage. The official Berlin events guide mentions Glögg, marzipan cake, elk sausage and Pytt i panna, among other things. This gives the market a culinary character that sets it apart from many traditional German Christmas markets. The congregation also offers handicrafts, Christmas tablecloths, books and decorations. You can browse the stalls for unique gifts. The selection may vary by vendor; a complete list of traders for 2026 is not available.
Swedish Christmas Market Berlin 2026: Lucia and Advent Traditions
Saint Lucia and her tradition of lights are an integral part of Swedish Advent culture. The official Berlin Christmas market website describes choir performances in the afternoons on Saturday and Sunday. However, it does not give an exact time for 2026. We therefore do not list these performances as fixed programme items with an invented time. The separate Lucia concert by the Swedish Victoria Congregation takes place on Sunday, 13 December 2026, at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and is not part of the three-day market.
Opening times and admission prices
On Friday, 27 November, the Christmas market is open from 16 to 20. On Saturday, 28 November, you can visit from 12 to 19. On Sunday, 29 November, the market closes at 18 and opens again at 12. Admission costs 2 euros for visitors aged twelve and over; children under twelve can enter free of charge. This information comes directly from the official calendar of the Swedish Embassy.
Getting to the Swedish Church
Take the U7 or U9 underground to Berliner Straße station. Landhausstraße is just a short walk from there. Several bus routes also stop nearby. The market is a compact community event, so allow extra time if it gets busy. You can find other Christmas markets in Berlin in the Kirmestermine calendar. This lets you combine your Swedish Advent visit with other events.
