What the chart shows
The opening hours of sixteen places a visitor plans Christmas in Berlin around, for Thursday 24 to Sunday 27 December 2026: the Christmas markets at Gendarmenmarkt, the Rotes Rathaus, the Humboldt Forum and Schloss Charlottenburg, the Reichstag dome, the TV Tower, the Berliner Dom, Zoo Berlin, Museum Island, the DDR Museum, the Jewish Museum, the shops, the two big station supermarkets, the U-Bahn and the S-Bahn.
How to use it
Pick a day. Regular shops close by 14:00 on 24 December and reopen on Monday 28 December; station and airport shops have exceptions.
Tap the chart, the hour strip, or the one-hour buttons to set a time. The lists below show what is open at that hour, when it closes, and what has already shut.
Read the bar style: solid green means hours published for that date, light green means the usual hours with no holiday change announced, striped means last year's holiday pattern, and grey stripes mean the hours are not out yet.
Where the data comes from
Hours from each place's own page and from berlin.de, checked on 25 October 2026: the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin holiday hours, the Bundestag visitor service, Zoo Berlin, the DDR Museum, the Jewish Museum, the market organisers and the Berlin shop opening law. Station supermarket and train rows use the hours announced for Christmas 2025 until the 2026 plans are published in December.
