Berlin – Weihnachten an der Spree (all-inclusive Christmas market) 2026

Weihnachten an der Spree 2026 brings an all-inclusive Christmas market to the Oberbaum Bridge in Berlin-Friedrichshain from Monday, 16 November, to Wednesday, 30 December 2026. On opening days, the market stalls are accessible daily from 17:00 to 22:00. Please note: the market is closed from 24 to 26 December. You must buy a ticket in advance to enter; there is no ticket office at the door. Many food and drinks, as well as activities, are included in the ticket price.

Weihnachten an der Spree 2026: Dates and special opening times

The organiser also confirms the period from 16 November to 30 December 2026. Opening hours on opening days are 17:00 to 22:00. From 16 to and including 22 November, the offer initially runs as a winter market with food, drinks and activities. The floating section on the Spree and the heated VIP tent are added only from Monday, 23 November. The market is closed from 24 to 26 December. These three days are therefore explicitly marked as closed. The separately bookable indoor Christmas dinner has its own dates and should not be confused with the general market opening times.

All-inclusive offer with food and drinks

According to the organiser, with a regular market ticket you can sample the food and drink on offer at more than 20 huts. Food and standard drinks are included in the outdoor area. These include both savoury dishes and winter sweets. Items listed include potato pancakes, bratwurst, Käsespätzle, waffles and crêpes. Drinks named by the organiser include mulled wine, children's punch, hot chocolate and other options. Additional spirits or drinks with an extra shot may incur a surcharge. Not all ticket options include the same comfort features.

Weihnachten an der Spree 2026: Prices and advance sales

The official offer page also lists market tickets from 29,99 euros per person, plus any booking fees shown. The actual price depends on the ticket type and the date you choose. A regular ticket gives you access to the outdoor area; the heated VIP tent is available with a higher ticket category. There is no ticket office at the door, so make sure you buy your admission ticket online before travelling. Entry slots are available from 17, 18, 19 and 20 to spread out visitor numbers. Tickets for individual days may sell out.

Activities and atmosphere at the Oberbaum Bridge

The market is also right on the Spree, with a view of the Oberbaum Bridge. Fire barrels and sheltered seating are intended to create a winter atmosphere. You can also try curling or log nailing. According to the organiser, both activities are included in the market ticket. If you would like to come as a group, the organiser's website offers various ticket options. No exact schedule for the individual games has been published, so no daily programmes have been made up.

Address, public transport and official information

The venue is Spreespeicher at Stralauer Allee 2, 10245 Berlin, near Warschauer Straße S-Bahn and U-Bahn station. The organiser specifically recommends public transport, as there is no public parking at the Spreespeicher site. The organiser's official FAQs include opening days, ticket rules and closure dates.
