Dec 02-08: Film Festival, Christmas Market, Party, and more!
Things to do in Berlin - Week of December 02!
December is already here! Time flies by so quickly. Before the month is over, I recommend checking out some of the Christmas markets. We visited the Holzmarkt Christmas Market, and it was a lot of fun (the Glühwein definitely played a part!). They also offer different forms of entertainment. You can find the program here.
Here's a sneak peek of what’s in store for you this week:
🎞️ Christmas Film Festival

Restaurant Review:
El Amigo Taqueria - Food Truck (⭐4.5/5)
This food truck has quickly become our favorite spot for tacos! They offer delicious options, including vegetarian and vegan choices. There are benches and tables near the truck where you can sit and have your meal. The prices are reasonable, and the quality is consistently great. We've already been there several times this past month!
