In his short film, Christmas Market Berlin, Matthias Makarinus has captured the essence of Berlin’s yuletide wonderlands.

The film takes us on a tour of several markets for ice skating, fairground rides, sausages and Glühwein. I’m pretty sure I saw: Berliner Weihnachtzeit am Roten Rathaus; Nostalgischer Weihnachtsmarkt am Opernpalais, Weihnachtsmarkt auf dem Alexanderplatz; Wintertraum am Alexa; Winterwelt und Weihnachtsmarkt am Potsdamer Platz; Weihnachtsmarkt vor dem Schloss Charlottenburg and Spandauer Weihnachtsmarkt in der Altstadt.

Matthias Makarinus has appeared a number of times previously on andBerlin – you’ll find more of his great Berlin videos here.
