The Christmas season is beginning to come into full swing with Berlin’s City Hall Christmas market throwing open its doors to mulled wine loving crowds. Visitors say it’s best to dress warm and come prepared to try some pricey treats during an evening of fun.

The city of 3.8 million, which takes pride in its tolerance and diversity, offers Christmas markets for pretty much every taste these days. Nowadays, almost 40% of Berliners have immigrant roots, and the city's LGBTQ+ community is considered one of the biggest in the country.
