Overview

Situated to the west of Berlin, the ancient town of Spandau has long since been engulfed by its larger neighbor. Spared during the war, the historic town centre situated around Reformation Square and St. Nicholas Church is one of greater Berlin's most beautiful spots. As it is closed to traffic, visitors can wander undisturbed though the narrow lanes and admire the small, bourgeois town houses. Old Spandau is particularly romantic in the winter months when visitors can browse around the Christmas Market, accompanied by the sound of trumpet concerts performed on top of St. Nicholas church.
