10117 Berlin
at Französische StraßeOne of Berlin’s most classically beautiful squares, embraced by the Konzerthaus and the German and French Cathedrals. Built in 1668 by Johann Arnold Nering, the plaza also holds a statue of German poet Friedrich Schiller in the center.
An extensive and charming Weihnachtsmarkt—a four-week long winter market held in December—takes place here, replete with waves of vendors pawning everything from hand-knit gloves to hot steaming mugs of cinnamon-spiked Glühwein.
