Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Berlin
- Best arrival by public transport: S-Bahn S Charlottenburg (S3, S5, S7, S9), U-Bahn U7 (Wilmersdorfer Straße) or bus lines M49, X34, 109, 309. The market is within walking distance of the station.
- Dress warmly and weatherproof – December in Berlin can be cold and windy. Comfortable shoes are ideal for strolling.
- Book accommodation in Charlottenburg or City West early, as the Advent season in Berlin is very popular. The proximity to Charlottenburg Palace and Kurfürstendamm makes the location attractive.
- Combine your visit with a walk to nearby Charlottenburg Palace or through the surrounding neighbourhood streets.
- Arriving early is worthwhile to explore the stalls at leisure and find special unique pieces before it gets busier.

Things to Do in Berlin

AlexBalkon
On the 37th floor of the Park Inn Hotel at Alexanderplatz, the AlexBalkon offers a calmer panoramic view over Berlin than the nearby TV Tower.
