🎄🎄 Christmas market 2023 🎄🎄 Beautiful Christmas market with amazing surroundings. €2 entrance fee but definitely worth it just for the decorations.

You can’t imagine how beautiful is that

A place with a big history and a perfect location to fight for something good.

Beautiful plaza where the Nationalist Party staged a burning of books to leave behind the jewish authors and their ideas. Underneath the plaza is a monument you can see with a window on the floor where empty library shelves are shown yo symbolize the books burned.

In dieser Woche erstrahlt Berlin wieder an vielen Stellen. Wir konnten die kunstvollen Lichtinstallationen bei einem Spaziergang vom Brandenburger Tor bis zum Alexander Platz an historischen Gebäuden bewundern. Leider endet die schöne Aktion am 15.10.2023 um 23.00 Uhr.

Festival of Lights 2023: Bebelplatz is one of the few locations that has a huge installation at festival of lights. All the surrounding buildings show different projects. Hotel Rom is usually used as a screen to go through the award winning projects. Usually it's very crowded during festival of lights.

An interesting simple square surrounded by a university, a cathedral, a library and an opera. In the center is a monument to books burned by the Nazis. The monument looks interesting, but it can be invisible for the tourist due to the fact that it is underground. There is only a small glass window on the ground level through which it can be seen. The implementation is interesting, affects perception.

Festival of lights 30 years after the fall of the wall

Beautiful spot to visit in the middle of Berlin. Amazing views from the top of the hotel. Great architecture!

An impressive monument, although you could easily miss it.

(Translated by Google) Emblematic square with a sad story in May of 1933 when the shameful burning of books by the Nazis was carried out. There is currently a basement and basement monument to remember it (Original) Plaça emblemática amb una triste historia al Maig del 1933 quan es va portar a terme la vergonyosa crema de llibres per part del Nazis. actualment hi ha una placa i un monument soterrani per recordar -ho

(Translated by Google) A place steeped in history with impressive architecture. If there is such a thing, then this is my favorite memorial. Empty bookshelves in the floor of Bebelplatz, on which this dark part of history is never repeated. From the square itself you have a great view of the Humboldt University buildings and the State Opera. (Original) Geschichtsträchtiger Ort mit beeindruckender Architektur. Wenn es so etwas gibt, dann ist das hier mein Lieblingsmahnmal. Leere Bücherregale im Boden des Bebelplatz, auf das sich dieser dunkele Teil der Geschichte nie wieder wiederholt. Vom Platz selber hat man einen tollen Blick auf Gebäude der Humboldt Universität und die Staatsoper.

(Translated by Google) Square with a lot of history, a must in Berlin (Original) Plaza con mucha historia, visita obligada en Berlín

Such an amazing place, with beautiful architecture. Well connected area, you can easily get there by bus or train. It is practically the Centre of the city. There are many other amazing monuments within walking distance. A must visit area.

Beautiful plaza - look for the book burning art installation in the ground and read up on it. Gray piece and really interesting history.

Bebelplatz is near Humboldt university, this area has a lot of history and stories which are quite fascinating. You can also find the clear glass window in the floor which is dedicated to an empty library.( Yes the glass won't break if you step on it, but don't go testing the strength of it).

A magnificent museum. One of the best I've seen. Berlin is worth a visit to see this museum alone. The quality of exhibits is outstanding.

What a historical place , beautiful and must visit. You will be happy If you love history and love to see awesome arciture

I’ll admit, I’ve never been to Bebelplatz before in my months of studying abroad here in Berlin, however during the holiday season it’s 100% worth coming to!!! The Bebelplatz market has lot of wonderful shops that sell ornaments, bags, and other handmade goods. Also I got a hot chocolate and was able to keep the cup which is a really neat souvenir! Since mine is a big cup I think I may use it for ice cream, pens, or smoothies. Anyway if you buy the gluvine (glow wine) you can keep a mug that you can use for coffee and such later. Love this market and definitely think it’s worth going to!!

I think this is the first time I witness a Christmas market in this area i like it , it was amazing and well organized, plenty of Food and drinks. Liked the vibes , totally recommended if you visit Berlin.

Gendarmenmarkt Christmas market is held here due to construction at Gendarmenmarkt. It’s free entry Mon-Fri 12-2pm but other times it’s 1€ entry definitely worth 1€ entry for sure. The most Christmas-y Christmas market in Berlin I’ve encountered so far

I was here for the Christmas funfare. Its such a lovely experience having lot's of stands. Lot's of fun places. The food and beverages here is exceptional. The fun activities makes life so beautiful. This is one experience I will cherish for all time.

It is located near the famous berlin gate. It is an awesome place where you can find different stuffs for souvenirs, taste different German foods and, explore more city attractions just near this place.

A historic square in what used to be East Berlin. Surrounded by the newly renovated State Opera, the HU Law School, HU main campus and a catholic church. Infamous for the book burnings during the Third Reich. Close to the Museum Island, famous Friedrichstraße and the Brandenburg Gates.

Bebelplatz in Berlin left me truly captivated. The historical significance of this square, along with its vibrant atmosphere, makes it a must-visit destination. Standing on the very spot where the infamous book burning took place, I felt a profound connection to the past and the importance of preserving knowledge and freedom of expression. The architecture surrounding Bebelplatz is stunning, offering a glimpse into the city's rich history and diverse culture. The square's open layout invites visitors to stroll, sit, and soak in the surroundings. Whether it's a leisurely walk or a quiet moment on one of the benches, there's a sense of serenity amidst the bustling city. The central location of Bebelplatz makes it convenient to explore nearby attractions, museums, and landmarks. The nearby Humboldt University and State Opera House add to the intellectual and artistic ambiance of the area. While it may not be the largest square in Berlin, Bebelplatz's historical significance, architectural beauty, and serene ambiance make it a meaningful and memorable stop for both locals and visitors.

I think it is the only Christmas market that you have to pay entry for, but it was worth the 2 euros. Had lunch in one of the restaurants which was very good. The market itself was full of the usual stalls and we bought some tree decorations

Der Bebelplatz mit seinen vielen historischen Gebäuden rundum ist zu jeder Zeit sehr eindrucksvoll und zum "Festival of Lights" besonders schön illuminiert. Das im Boden eingelassene Denkmal an authentischer Stelle in der Mitte des Platzes soll an die Bücherverbrennung der Nazis am 10. Mai 1933 erinnern mit dem Heine-Zitat von 1820, das im Original lautet: „Das war ein Vorspiel nur, dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen“.

Amazing place, we went here during festival of lights when many monuments of Berlin gets illuminated. It looked amazing, we went in the night so it was not that crowded. I would say it's a must visit place if you want to enjoy Festival of lights in Berlin. This is the second time I visited this would definitely go again next year as well

Very beautiful place next to the Humbolt University. Christmas Market was very special and clean. Merchandise were also very clean.

2 Euro Eintritt aber es lohnt sich allemal...tolles Ambiente...Getränke und Essen schmeckte...innenliegende Stände waren sehr ansprechend denn es war mal was ganz anderes ... ich werde nächstes Jahr wenn er sein sollte wieder da sein 👍🏼👌🏼🫶🏼

Bebel Platz is a great area in Berlin to visit. This time of year and during December 2023 there was a Christmas Market. Located in the center of Bebel Platz is the memorial to the 1933 Book Burning. One must look down to view the memorial. The memorial featuring empty shelves is a stark reminder of what happens when people are blindly led down a path.

Z. Zt. Ist hier der diesjährige (2023) Weihnachtsmarkt vom GENDARMENMARKT. Eintritt pro Person: 2 €. Der Gendarmenmarkt steht bis auf weiteres wg. umfangreicher Bauarbeiten für OpenAir-Veranstaltungen nicht zur Verfügung. Der jetzige Ort ist aber allemal dem Ereignis würdig und liegt neben der Staatsoper, vis a vis von der Humboldt Universität Unter den Linden. Bestens mit dem ÖPNV U-Bahnlinie 5 bis Museumsinsel, dann ca. 3-5 Minuten zu Fuß. Mit dem PKW ist es nicht sinnvoll, weil's auch keine Parkplätze gibt. Mit der U5 spart man Zeit und Nerven. Fotos sind aktuell, Copyright Christian Schönauer/ SCORPION PRODUCTION ENTERPRISES.

So the Christmas Market Gendenmarkt is taking place here, with a 2 euro ticket on weekend. This Christmas is infront of Hotel der Rome. They serve Gluhwien, Bratwurst, roasted dry fruits, sugar coated candies.

Weihnachtsmarkt am Gendarmenmarkt. Dieses Jahr wegen Bauarbeiten auf dem Bebelplatz. Sehr schön gemacht und tolles, vielfältiges Angebot. Leider sehr voll und teuer, aber unbedingt sehenswert.

Bebelplatz's Christmas market in Berlin is pure holiday magic! The festive atmosphere, twinkling lights, and variety of stalls create a charming experience. From unique crafts to delicious treats, it's a delightful mix. Nestled in a historic setting, it's a must-visit during the holiday season. Note: There is a 2 euro entrance fee. 🎄✨

Christmas market is amazingly beautiful😍 Good food options - Waffles, Langos, Hot chocolate etc.. It has an entry ticket of 2€

The view of that place is great. It's worth visiting.

Nice Location :)

Cool square. Do a walking tour, you'll appreciate it more

really nice place, like the atmosphere

Worth a visit, but do check the weather forecast before you leave so you can get the best experience and do hire a guide too because they'll give you the best knowledge of the place!!

The Bebelplatz is a public square in the central Mitte district of Berlin, and named after August Bebel, a founder of the Social Democratic Party of Germany. The square is surrounded by some very fine buildings, namely the State Opera building, buildings of Humboldt University including the building across Unter den Linden, and St. Hedwig's Cathedral, the first Catholic church built in Prussia after the Reformation. There's no cafes or restaurants like in many European public squares. Come here for the fine buildings and monuments! But expect to jostle with other tourists doing the same.

Nice square with several pretty buildings.

Beautiful in any season

Lovely square near center circled with beautiful buildings.

Beautiful location...specially during light festival...

A fine example of contemporary german architecture.

Very full during festival of lights, but beautifully illuminated.

Beautiful and a very historical place too keep mind how nationalists claimed the power, step by step.

Einer der schönsten Plätze von Berlin. Auf der einen Seite die Staatsoper unter den Linden und auf der anderen Seite die juristische Fakultät der Humboldt Uni.

The square is the site of one of the most notorious NS book burning ceremonies in 1933, carried out by the German Student Association. There’s a memorial and a plaque, if you look closely enough.

Nice place to visit

One of the most beautiful places in Berlin - with the HU Law Faculty, which used to be a palace, on one side, the Opera on the other and the HU University just across the street. It's also a close walk to Gendarmenmarkt - that's a bonus

Beautiful place with a dark history.

Another beautiful building in Berlin but the historic spot itself can hardly be seen. The glass is full of scratches. You can still some of the shelves though. however the. Buildings around are amazingly beautiful.

An area with a lot of history, the area is a part of Humboldt university. You can go there from unten den Linden. The architecture is very beautiful, and also you can see the glass window in the floor to the empty library dedicated to the mass fire during the old era when all 'western books' were destroyed along with much other books. The glass is very sturdy so you won't fall if you walk over it but please do not go testing it's strength

The buildings are very beautiful, definitely go see it if you are nearby

Amazing place, a must visit in Berlin

Endless History. An abundance of Culture. Unbelievable Architecture. Its all right here. Ground zero for exploring the beautiful history of Berlin and Unter den Linden.

One of the most beautiful spots in Berlin, not because of the Konzerthaus but the two twin churches. They are not churches anymore, but their architectonic beauty is astonishing. The visit is a must.

I enjoy looking at the amazing architecture. Another great example. Also like the big open spaces around here. Crazy to think I'm in a city but with so much space around me.

Interesting building and statue inside but not such a great feeling

Surrounded with many buildings with a specific type of architecture. I don't know the name. I went there in the night and found the "Festival of Light". I haven't been there during the day, but it seemed like a good place to walk around during 8-10 am.

Also known as the Opernplatz (it is right next to the State Opera building). Situated on the Unter den Linden boulevard. The beautiful long building on the right is Humboldt University, law faculty. After the war the square was renamed after August Bebel, the founder of SPD, Social Democratic Party.

Pretty to see, not really that special. On the oppositie side of the road there's a cute stand that sells vintage prints most of the time, sometimes also LP's.

Very thoughtfully built and well maintained area that provokes thought about everything that happened there.

The memorial for the book burning of May 10th 1933 is hard to see as it is underground and there's only a small window on the floor of the square to see it, but it's meaning is powerful enough to give a good soul a strong quiver.

Wonderful views, a lot outside to take in. Besides the museums,great photo opportunities, many sculptures, all about.

Berlin light festival was smaller than usual but the installation here was superb.

Such a meaningful place for Germany's history! I was there for the Festival of Light and it was beautiful!

Went for the Festival of Lights which was amazing! Definitely worth seeing, and this was one of the best spots on the route

One of the best Christmas market in Berlin!! Good food, gluewine , hot chocolate with cream yummy 😋 and great vibes overall.. 1euro entry fees per person.

Really cute Christmas market. Unfortunately they closed it on the 2nd or 3rd of Jan which i found is very short as many would still come to have NY drinks

Nice square in the center of Humboldt university with many historic buildings and sites right there.

It is surreal in lights. This square is somewhat at midway between Brandenburger Gate and Berlin TV tower. This entire stretch of 2 to 3 Kms glows in light during Berlin light festival. And, many artist does street performance that adds more vibe and lively atmosphere. Note: Berlin light festival from 6th Oct to 15th Oct 2023. Some of nearby places part of berlin light festival are Berlin Cathedral Berlin Tv tower St Mary's Chruch St Hedwig's Cathedral Brandenburger Gate Victory Column State Opera house Hackescher Market S bahn station

It was a great experience watching these historic buildings and the museums in Berlin.

Attended the Opera for all event here. The streaming of the opera was shown in screens. Along with German subtitles, English subtitles could also have been provided

This is an easy easy place to walk past but ...don't! There is an incredible amount of crazy history that took place here in this exact spot back in 1933. There are several indicators of this in the ground at this spot. Look down!

It was a warm autumn day and the Light Festival was taking place in Berlin, so there were a lot of people there.
