    Winter activities

Cosiness, culture and authentic experiences

We are convinced that Brandenburg is worth a visit all year round - even in winter! The weather is often mild, which means that cyclists and hikers get their money's worth. There is also time for art, culture and traditions. And, of course, there is also the down-to-earth, hearty food. Brandenburg - away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, full of cosiness and authentic experiences.

From Baroque splendour to the cosy charm of winter, Brandenburg showcases its diversity: for example, Neuzelle Abbey, alongside world-class Expressionist art at the Barberini Museum in Potsdam, relaxing moments in the floating lakeside sauna at the Fontane Therme, and atmospheric Christmas markets brimming with regional traditions and delicacies.
