Know Before You Go

Tips & Advice

  • Reserve an Eisstockschießen lane online before you go, or check on the day at Reformationsplatz to see if any free slots are left.
  • The curling lanes are pitched as ideal for a Christmas party, so book a lane for your friends, sports club or work colleagues.
  • Take the U7 to Altstadt Spandau or Rathaus Spandau, because both stations put you right at the market without needing to drive.
  • Combine your visit with gift shopping in the pedestrian zone, which has almost 150 shops, three department stores and the Spandau Arcaden a few minutes' walk away.
  • Come on a Friday or Saturday if you want a longer evening at the market, since it stays open later on those two nights.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Eisstockschießen is back for a second year, with two lanes on Reformationsplatz bookable separately during market hours (extra ticket).
