Berlin - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a "shopping post"? Are there interesting handicrafts, artwork, antiques, or other items that people typically buy there?
Eh, maybe? Many, many people take a bus or drive to the Polish border for pottery shopping. - Aug 2023
Berlin is not a shopping post. Europe, again in general, is more expensive than the U.S. You'll spend money at the Christmas markets, but each year they're getting filled with more junk than handicrafts. - Jan 2018
Steins, Black forest clocks, Nutcrackers, glass ornaments, Lebkuchen, PRETZLES! - Jul 2015
