Berlin's Nikolaiviertel to Sparkle in 14th Festival of Lights 2026
Berlin's Nikolaiviertel is set to shine light once again as the 14th edition of the Festival of Lights approaches in 2026. This historic neighbourhood, located near the U-Bahn stations U Rotes Rathaus and U Klosterstr., will transform into an open-air gallery of light art.
The U-Bahn station U Rotes Rathaus, just 0.2km away, serves as a convenient starting point. It's on the U5 line and connected to multiple bus lines. From here, light enthusiasts can walk to the illuminated TV Tower and Bebelplatz. The U Klosterstr. station, 0.4km away on the U2 line, is another nearby option.
The Festival of Lights 2025 will illuminate not only Nikolaiviertel but also other iconic Berlin locations. In Nikolaiviertel, luminous trees will light up Propstraße, Am Nußbaum, and the Wappenbrunnen. The 2026 edition promises to build on this, with light installations commemorating the area's rich history and cultural significance. While specific themes for 2026 are yet to be announced, past events have celebrated Berlin's resilience and medieval origins.
Mark your calendars for the 14th Festival of Lights in 2026. Berlin's Nikolaiviertel, easily accessible by U-Bahn and on foot, will be a must-visit destination for those seeking a unique, illuminated experience that honours the city's past and present.
