Weekend Events for the Whole Family in Berlin, Nov 4th - 6th

Winter World in Potsdamer Platz

This weekend will see the opening of the first winter fair (not Christmas Market, because those are opening only after Totensonntag!). 

Winter World in Potsdamer Platz features many winter-sports related rides (e.g. snow slope, ice skating rink - for free if you bring the shoes! - and much more). It also features lots of decorations that are very typical of Christm... sorry of "The Season" and food that is related to the holiday that dares not be mentioned. 

Potsdamer Platz, daily till January 1st, except Totensonntag and Volkstrauertag
