It is a small museum, but it has some very interesting artifacts. I loved the fact that you can get inside the Ju-52, and examine the F13 and J1 closely. A small gift shop is also available. Outside, a small collection of soviet jets, that can also be closely studied. Friendly staff.

Muhammad A — Google review
Very nice museum with an exceptional collection! Unfortunately it stands as a clear symbol of the failures in Sachsen-Anhalt's duty to integration of its migrants. Our Dessauer neighbors must understand they are being lied to that "migrants don't want to work". I, personally, have been seeking employment since arrival as a museum archivist or docent - my career of several decades in my home country. This museum could be even more lovely, factually accurate, and attractive to tourists in my skilled hands. What Professor Junkers saw for Dessau's future is a vision that we all should know. He believed in every one of us - and when we believed in ourselves, we created masterpieces that are still unmatched today. Considering that the restrictions on my employment rights allow someone to pay me only 85 cents per hour and I have a work history in the archives of National institutions, I'm quite sure my long-term unemployment isn't some mistake by either myself or the various archival institutions of Sachsen-Anhalt. Please think of this when certain factions among us like to point the finger at the individual. Statistics show that work refusal is shockingly rare in the migrant community, and not even all that common within the Citizenship demographics. As long as there are cobwebs on Tante Ju, you will know the State leadership is telling lies.

Kornhaus Dessau

Mentioned on 
9 lists 
$$$$affordable
Restaurant
Kornhaus Dessau is a historic restaurant located on the banks of the Elbe River in Dessau-Rosslau. It offers a delightful dining experience with fresh seasonal fruit, veggie skillets, and banana foster fresh toast. The restaurant is known for its vegan options and has received positive reviews from travelers. With its beautiful location and delicious menu, Kornhaus Dessau is a must-visit for those looking to enjoy a memorable dining experience in the area.
Imagine sitting in the same place of the haus Masters (Gropius Klee kandiniski Mucha Schlemmer Mies Von der Rohe) I went there yesterday, about 4:30, I didn’t have a reservation but I was trying my luck, they gave me a river view table but told me I have to move at six because it’s reserved I had a very nice meal and a fantastic view and a very powerful Bauhaus vibe I searched for pictures for the masters of Bauhaus in this restaurent but I couldn’t find , While it's difficult to find a definitive list of every single Bauhaus master who visited the Kornhaus Restaurant, the history and context of the building make it highly likely that many, if not all, of the masters who were active in Dessau would have gone there. Here's why: * Designed by a Bauhausler: The architect, Carl Fieger, was himself a prominent figure at the Bauhaus. His personal connection to the school and his work as a draftsman for Walter Gropius ensured a close relationship between the restaurant and the Bauhaus community. * A Symbol of Modernism: The Kornhaus was a public building that perfectly embodied the "New Building" style that the Bauhaus championed. It would have been a point of pride and interest for the architects, designers, and artists of the school, much like the main Bauhaus building and the Masters' Houses. * A Social Hub: As a popular and modern excursion restaurant situated in a scenic location on the Elbe River, the Kornhaus would have been a natural gathering place. The Bauhaus masters and their families lived and worked in Dessau, and a new, beautifully designed restaurant would have been a prime location for social outings, dinners, and events. * Collaborative Project: The fact that the interior was a collaborative effort, with lamps designed by Marianne Brandt and the color scheme handled by the Bauhaus wall painting workshop, shows that the school's artists and designers were directly involved in the project. This would have given them a vested interest in visiting and showing off their work. In short, while there may not be specific photographic evidence of, say, Wassily Kandinsky or Paul Klee dining there on a particular date, the Kornhaus was a significant project and a social landmark in Dessau during the Bauhaus's most productive years. It is almost certain that the masters, who were deeply engaged in shaping the city's modern identity, would have frequented it.

It’s a landmark place in Dessau with the historic building and stunning views on the water. Food and drinks were disappointing unfortunately. The goat cheese salad looked sad, although the cheese was good. We ordered specialty deserts from Kornhaus, and although served in a nice manner, they were average. The house made lemonade with maraquia had very artificial taste. Probably the best is just have a coffee there for the experience and the views.
Ira H — Google review
Amazing view of the Elbe, above-average prices, but the food is delicious, and the service is good, too. Two dark beers with cherry juice + 2 main courses with meat/fish costed us 50 euros. The portions were generous. Comparably simple, but tasty food. Maybe, you shouldn’t expect too much from this architecturally iconic place.

It locates by the beautiful river side so you can enjoy the view from the window or it must be good outside seats in the summer. Food was pretty good. Even bread was tasty. Staff can speak English little bit but they tried to do their best and their service was very good.

Masters' Houses

Museum
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Masters' Houses in Dessau, Germany, are a collection of homes designed by Walter Gropius for the Bauhaus school's faculty. The largest house was occupied by Gropius and his wife Ise, while the others were semi-detached properties with identical modular floor plans. Recently rebuilt by Bruno Fioretti Marques, the master house features contemporary elements such as light concrete and milky glass.
Have you ever ask you one of these questions: How architecture influences our live experiences? Who are these greatest modern minds in arts? Why could it happen? You will find a lot of answers here in Dessau Meisterhäuser. Some promises, you will even find answers on questions you haven’t asked before to come to this place.
Michael S — Google review
The houses look great from the outside, but are a disappointment inside. A little film made when one of the houses was first built, showing all the modern devices in the home showed what the houses could look like inside. Is money the prob lem, or do the foundation believe. It's better to show empty rooms?

I wrote a 1000 pages Bauhaus Book after visiting such an amazing creative site … imagine seven of world’s most creative minds live with their families in one place as neighbors.

The master house has been rebuilt by the berlin based studio Bruno Fioretti Marques in a contemporary way: volume and windows has been restored with new materials like light concrete and milky glass. Inside you will find a permanent installation of Olaf Nicolai with shades of white in the wall and temporary pieces of other artists. You can also see small models of the houses.

Bauhaus Dessau

Mentioned on 
6 lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Foundation
Bauhaus Dessau, designed by Walter Gropius in 1926, is a highly influential building that showcases the hallmarks of Bauhaus design. The glass facade and absence of visible supporting elements on the corners are iconic features. The Cafe-Bistro continues the tradition of being a meeting place for program participants, employees, and friends. This architectural masterpiece still looks fresh and contemporary despite being almost a century old.
I love this place. This place answered me plenty of questions about the why, the where, the what, the who and the when. It is great to learn about the motivations, learn about the who were these people, to learn about the where and when have the gone after Dessau. I have spent two days and three guided tours and I will for sure come again.
Michael S — Google review
A Masterpiece of Vision: A Review of the Bauhaus Dessau My recent visit to the Bauhaus building in Dessau, Germany, was more than just a tour; it was a journey into a living monument of architectural and educational history. The experience profoundly illustrated the singular vision of one man, Walter Gropius, who, against incredible odds, brought the modern art and design movement to life. It is nothing short of astonishing to consider how he single-handedly managed to fund, design, and create the entire institutional framework, all while navigating the tumultuous political landscape between the two world wars. The moment you step into the building, you are immediately struck by its revolutionary design. The famous staircase, the sun-drenched workshops, and the seamless integration of various functions speak to Gropius's genius. I was particularly moved by visiting his personal office, located in the bridge connecting the two main buildings. This space, a hub of creativity and leadership, felt like the very heart of the movement. Seeing the workshops where masters and students collaborated, and the student hostel where they lived and breathed art, brought the curriculum to life. The building is a manifesto in itself, a physical embodiment of Gropius’s belief in the unity of art and technology. The self-sufficiency of the institution is a testament to Gropius's strategic mind. He devised a curriculum that drew students from around the world, creating a vibrant, international community. He hand-picked a legendary faculty, including Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, and created a marketing machine to attract global talent. This was all done while facing immense political pressure and shifting ideologies, which ultimately led to the school's closure. Despite these challenges, Gropius’s unwavering commitment ensured that the Bauhaus's influence would endure. The tour is incredibly well-curated, and I highly recommend taking it to truly appreciate the scale of this achievement. The theater, the student cafeteria, and even the gift shop—which is filled with beautiful designs—all contribute to an experience that is both educational and deeply inspiring. For anyone with an interest in art, architecture, or history, the Bauhaus Dessau is a must-see. It's a powerful reminder that with clear vision and relentless determination, one person can shape the course of history.

Amazing! This place was a world leader and is symbollic and of the modern movement in architecture and design in Europe in the 1900s. Celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. It has been restored, true to the original design after being closed by the racist regime of the 1930s. Well worth the visit for architects and designers.
Paul E — Google review
Must-see for those interested in modernism and architecture as a whole. You can roam a part of the building freely. However, all classrooms and the entire student flats block are sadly inaccessible for visitors (except if you book a night in a flat!). The shop has a great selection of souvenirs. The workers were warm and friendly.

This is a simply fabulous historic building. Once the home of the revolutionary Bauhaus School and designed by Walter Gropius it stands as a memorial to an innovative school that only survived from 1919-1933 but had a huge impact on architecture and design across the whole world.

Mmmmm I love the bahhaus movement and the art from that time, but the institute itself doesnt do much for me. The exhibitions inside are about the history of the buildin; its beginnings, its time during nazi rule, its reconstruction, and its preservation. Another one focused on the design of one of the bauhaus styled lights. Both were interesting but I was hoping to simply see more bauhaus art (go to the museum for that). The structure itself, while iconic, didnt do much for me either. I think when it was built, it would have been revolutionary. I did love seeing the bauhaus styled lamps irl though :)

All Saints' Church, or Schlosskirche, is a stunning Gothic structure nestled in the heart of Wittenberg, Germany. This iconic church holds immense historical significance as the place where Martin Luther famously affixed his Ninety-five Theses to its door on October 31, 1517—an act that ignited the Protestant Reformation. As part of the UNESCO World Heritage sites known as the Luther Memorials in Eisleben and Wittenberg, it attracts visitors from around the globe.

Visiting this place is definitely a must! Located at the end of the main street of the historical area of Wittenberg, this place is of extreme value not only because at one of his doors Martin Luther nailed his 95 thesis, but also because his grave is inside the temple, at the back, under the organ pipes. The entrance is free. Take your time to admire every single detail of this treasure building in terms of architecture. Highly recommend. Ask for a guided tour, it will broaden your experience! Also, you can go up in the tower for 3 €, where you will have great views of the city.
Melvin D — Google review
This church is famous as the place where Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses in 1517, sparking the Protestant Reformation. Luther's translation of the Bible into German in Wittenberg strengthened standard German and influenced German literacy and culture. This church became a symbol of resistance against the authority of the Roman Catholic Church and received support from German princes, strengthening Lutheranism as a political force.
Reformindo — Google review
Absolutely fascinating. Excellent museum to be found attached to the church, with some of the best audio visual demonstrations I have seen, by that I mean they are easy to use and in several different languages and capable of being tailored to suit the user (eg magnified if you don't have your glasses :-) ). The Tower is well worth the climb with magnificent views over the city and surrounding countryside. Martin Luther's grave is in this church and this is the church he nailed his famous theses to.

Melanchthonhaus is a museum located in Wittenberg, occupying the former living quarters of Philipp Melanchthon, an influential figure who worked closely with Martin Luther. The museum offers a glimpse into the historical context and lifestyle of that era, showcasing a collection of period clothing and providing detailed descriptions of the house and its rooms. It also delves into the relationship between Melanchthon and Luther. Visitors interested in church reform and its co-reformers will find this museum particularly engaging.
For me one of the most essential museum to see, enjoy. Because you will find out several aspects of Phillip Melanchton life, work and much more. Really enriched me to visit this place. I have to recommend to all...it is also English friendly inside. I was there right on the Reformation Day= 31st of October 2024.

Really cute. I liked the renovation in a contemporary style. And the possibility of going in the garden and the terrace. Not overwhelming though, that’s why only 4 stars.
Dario B — Google review
This is the house of Philip Melanchthon, part of the Luther Museums. Melanchtlon "was a German Lutheran reformer, collaborator with Martin Luther, the first systematic theologian of the Protestant Reformation, an intellectual leader of the Lutheran Reformation" according to Wikipedia. According to the museum website "One of the most beautiful residences in Wittenberg was built for the scholar Philipp Melanchthon by Elector John Frederick I in 1536. He built the house to commit the scholar to staying on as a professor at his university. The impressive house offered ample space for Melanchthon and his family, as well as numerous students. He lived here until his death in 1560. In the historic Melanchthon House you can literally walk in the footsteps of one of the most important protagonists of the Wittenberg Reformation. The house has barely changed over the centuries. "
AXZ — Google review
Recommended for people interested in the church reform and its co-reformers, wheelchair accessible I'm very linked to the church reform which today is nearly completely put to Martin Luther. This is why I like the fact that the Melanchtonhaus offers an insight into another reformer who supported Luther in many ways. I got to know a couple of things I hadn't know, although I am into the topic. Only four stars because it's not signposted in English and because the first, actually original building does not show any original objects. These are to be found in the modern part. I assume for conservation purposes. Still, it feels strange... I loved it anyway...
Sarah J — Google review
Another good place to visit while visiting Wittenberg. Your stop at this place will complement your understanding of the life style and historical context of Martin Luther. There is a collection of objects, including clothes of that time, as well as a good description of the house and its rooms. Also, a short story about Melanchthon and his relation with Martin Luther. There are individuals tickets, however I recommend getting a combined ticket of Lutherhouse and Melanchthonhaus for 10 €.

Lutherhaus in Wittenberg is the former Augustinian monastery where Martin Luther resided as a teacher-monk and later after its dissolution. The museum chronologically outlines major milestones in Luther's career, offering an informative look at his life and religious legacy. It serves as a living history of Christian Reformation and is considered one of the most important museums to visit in Wittenberg. The well-designed explanations by guides and signboards make it a great historical place to explore.
The main Lutherhaus is closed for renovation until 2025. But the courtyard is still open. The Literally Luther exhibition in Luther Museen, adjacent to the Lutherhaus is open. It is an excellent exhibit on Luther's life and his reformation legacy. It also has a great activity section for children on the third floor.

Located at the beginning of the main street of the historical area, Lutherhaus will transport you in time to experience what people at that time use in their daily lives. Also, this museum has a largr collection of Luther's writings and pictures. The house also tries to portray and explain the living conditions of that period. The house, plus Luther's sayings as well as the whole collection of objects will give you a better understanding of the life of one of the important figures of the reformation. Highly recommend. Single ticket 8 €, combined ticket 10 € (Luther House + Melanchthon House )

Closed for Reno but one can still walk into the courtyard and they've put up a comical history of Martin Luther's marriage.
Paul T — Google review
Really informative museum of Luther’s life and religious legacy. You can find the house after walking through this large stone gate - picture added. The museum itself chronologically outlines major milestones in Luther’s “career”, you could say. It is astounding to see what one person’s courage could do for an entire religion.

Choosing TAKE OFF Fallschirmsport was truly one of the best decisions ever! From the moment we walked in, we were embraced by an atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie. The entire team radiated passion and professionalism, but what stood out most was the genuine, kind care and connection they brought to every moment. I am deeply grateful to Vitaly, who made the experience truly unforgettable, and to Kurt, who captured every magical second. My son, who jumped with Ivan as his Tandem Pilot and had Jens documenting the adventure, was equally enchanted. The experience wasn’t just a skydive—it was a celebration of life (my son's birthday), community, and creating memories that will stay with us forever. We will definitely be back for another adventure and also for the people who made it so special. Thank you to the entire TAKE OFF Team!

Great experience! The tandem instructors go the extra mile to make you feel calm, comfortable and make it a memorable event. Our instructors spoke English and seem highly experienced. I was impressed even more by their landing skills. Ivan was my tandem partner and he did such an amazing job. We took the video and photos package which was sent to us soon after our jump was completed. Highly recommend!!

I jumped last Sunday morning. Despite the warnings, everything went very quickly and comfortably — at least for me. Both my instructor Ivan and the operator were very positive and pleasant people, and jumping with them was a real pleasure. Ivan dispelled my last worries with his light and friendly approach, speaking fluently in German, Russian, and English. I can recommend this to everyone!
Daniel H — Google review
The organization was fast and efficient, and from the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed by place. Especcialy the ladies at the information desk were helpful and kind, answering all my questions in perfect English. My instructor was super positive and full of energy, making the experience even more enjoyable. the other lady who joined us to capture the video and photos, did an excellent job of catching every special moment. Even the driver who picked me up from the nearest train station was incredibly friendly. The entire team was fun and chill just like the name "FunJump" suggests. Didn’t feel embarrassed or awkward any seconds. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I can see why they have such high ratings !

I jumped on Wednesday and loved every second of it. Would’ve jumped again if I could. Ivan was an amazing tandempilot and made the experience all the better. But Ivan….I blame you for making me want to get certified now….poor financial decisions incoming 😿😂

I had my very first skydive here and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! The instructors were professional, very friendly, and made me feel safe from start to finish. The whole team created such a positive and welcoming atmosphere that my fear quickly turned into pure excitement. Jumping out of the plane and flying through the sky was the most amazing feeling of freedom. Thanks a bunch for making this day so special. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who dreams about skydiving! Don’t think about it too much – just do it!🔥

Tier-, Freizeit- und Saurierpark Germendorf

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Amusement park
Zoos & Aquariums
Tier-, Freizeit- und Saurierpark Germendorf is a leisure park that offers animal enclosures, full-size dinosaur models, an adventure playground, and rides. The park features a rich zoo with domestic and exotic animals, well-equipped playgrounds for kids to enjoy, and a fun Dino area for enthusiasts. Visitors can also explore ponds and canals or have some beach time during the summer.
Very nice and large nature park with lots to offer for families. One doesn’t have to like Dinosaurs to be able to enjoy the Dino Park. There is also a petting zoo with and a chance to feed deers (suitable feed only). The area is vast and there are even water activities available weather permitting. Lots of playground for all ages. They don’t use tokens for the rides, so have 50cent and 1€ coins available, or have them changed at the specific counters for each ride. The rides were mostly bump cars and train rides. Perfect for little ones. Food stalls are available, though a few were closed when we went there. We went on a weekend so it was understandably full. We packed lunch and ate peacefully near nature. Food choices can be limited and expensive, also queues can be long. I would also suggest booking tickets ahead online to avoid long queues. Lots of parking space available for 2€/day.
Roan — Google review
We’ve visited Germendorf Park several times, and each visit has been a real pleasure. One of the absolute highlights is the beautiful, friendly deer (“bambis”), which are especially gorgeous in spring after they’ve shed their winter coats. The park is easy to reach from Berlin — it takes around 35 minutes by car, and the parking fee is only €2. The entrance and on-site prices are very reasonable and much more affordable compared to many other parks. Overall, it’s a great place to spend a relaxed day in nature with family or friends. Definitely worth a visit

Great park with a ton of things to do for kids, and not just dinosaurs. Our daughter loved the whole vibe. It's pretty close to Berlin if you travel in a car. Get an online ticket if you want to skip the long queues.

A beautiful experience. The park is for all kids not just Dino lovers. They have other animals in there too. And the deers are free ranging, you can pet them and feed them from the Vanding Machine. Imbiss, Clean Toilet and Playground is also available. Overall 5stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s a very good place to visit with kids. The park has different areas where kids can see nicely made life-like dinosaur replicas, a small zoo and farm animals. It also has different play areas for kids and a lake. Prices for food and rides are quite reasonable (not really expensive). Overall a very family-friendly park. You can spend between 3-4 hours, or longer if you wish, walking around.
Diana V — Google review
We visited while visiting family in Berlin. The park is huge and such a fun way to spend the day. You could spend a whole day here without the kids getting bored. There’s the Dino park, which is very large. Petting zoos with roaming deer, options to swim when the weather is nice, many different food options and much more we didn’t get to see.
Chloe F — Google review
Great price at entrance and parking. Good theme park! It’s a large park with different entertainments. There are animals you get to pat and feed. A cafe with a lot of toys. Small trains and cars. It costs something little like 50 cents or 1 euro. The entrance is quite good price at 6 euro. Parking costs 1 only. Food there is not expensive at all, quite fair price. Tastes pretty OK. We enjoyed a lot and will definitely visit again. Highly recommended!
Canny C — Google review
Great experience for the family and kids. Very affordable, even though you have to pay for everything inside with coins (restrooms, food, drinks, attractions, binoculars, volcano etc). Nonetheless to be able to get up and close to the animals and attractions is awesome. The kids love it. Wish the dinosaur park itself has more trees or shady areas as when we were there, the sun was shining down hot and there was almost nowhere to go and avoid the sunshine. The statues are lovely with great details, prices for food and drinks are affordable. There are also small ponds where the kids can jump in and cool down. We will be back as our son had so much fun and there was still plenty to see.

Museum
Oranienburg Palace, the oldest Baroque castle in Brandenburg, dates back to the 17th century and offers visitors two museums, a picturesque park, and a charming eatery. Once chosen as the residence of Great Elector Frederick III, this palace showcases stunning European architecture and artistry. While some visitors found language barriers and limited English descriptions challenging, many appreciated the beautiful gardens and friendly tour guides. It's recommended to visit during the summer months for the best experience.
Beautiful palace with a really nice park
Marika ( — Google review
The building only 1/4 used as a museum, size is not important for me , but there is almost nothing in the museum, some paintings and Porzellan, that’s all.the castle outlook is beautiful, but inside mainly white paint, only one ceiling is original, I would say : better visit the another castle.
Neil C — Google review
I found the gardens/park very beautiful even I had to pay to get in. The Schloss itself is very beautiful, we were there during the week and could only visit the inside with a 2,5 hour guided tour, I chose not to do this. In the weekend you are free to roam the Schloss.
Anja G — Google review
Seemed like an interesting historical castle when visiting it, sadly every piece of information is in German (except for the silver vault), no audioguide or flyer except for the one you can buy at the entrance (and only in English). Yet it is quite cheap so why not after all, I'm sure guided tours during the week are nice, I was visiting during a weekend.
Alex0ss — Google review
Cute palace, but the greed of needing a separate ticket for the schloss exhibition, the regional exhibition and the garden brings it down to a solid one. The schloss exhibition shows the story of the Royal family with portraits, some gold pieces and some porcelain pieces. I really can't recommend it. The garden is probably the better option, unless you're very interested in the local history. Then it's a must. If the price was lower, then it'd be a solid 4.
Marcus A — Google review

It was a great experience. The temperature of water and the environment is very good. Not so cold not so warm. The waves that happen every one hour in the main pool were fantastic. The food was also great as well as the personal who were very helpful and friendly

A bit old-fashioned with clean facilities. Lots of fun. Restaurant has quite a few warm meal options (card payment available at entrance. Then you pay everything inside with a bracelet). Hairdryers are free. Easy access with public transportation

Great place just outside of Berlin. Less fancy than Tropical Islands, but fulfills all the needs of a family, from babies (34 deg C water), to young kids (and even adults) with some fun features. The dining options are somewhat limited and not cheap, and there are many different rules, but that’s Germany.
Daniel T — Google review
Misleading information on 4 hour tickets. They count the time spent from cashier to cashier rather than from entrance to the pools and exit. It is rather inconvenient as in case of single parent and with smaller kids, long hair, changing clothes, drying hair etc can only be done one after the other and takes significant time. Such a routine easily 40-50 minutes which is a lot how the ticket counts the time at the moment. I’d rather recommend to rethink how time is measured as there proper gates installed.

A beautiful paddling pool with slides for children, teenagers and adults outside of Berlin. on a monday morning you can treat your beer belly to some sun while the artificial waves caress your buttocks. the food in the restaurant there was good and the prices were not cheap, a bit pricey. everything was clean and it was an amazingly fun stay

Great place for a short break. There are several pools with different water temperatures, different depths and whirlpools. There is an area for very young children 👍👍👍 and a wave pool. The area is very clean and well maintained, there are ample smoking areas and sun loungers outside. Another plus is the presence of a small restaurant: no one will go hungry here. Special thanks for having quite large storage lockers 🔥 But be careful and keep an eye on your bags, especially in the entry/exit areas of the changing rooms: some visitors do not bother to keep an eye on their own children, so some children may touch your things without your permission 😐

Sachsenhausen Memorial & Museum

Mentioned on 
6 lists 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Memorial and Museum Sachsenhausen is a powerful site that serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed during the Nazi regime. Visitors can explore the camp at their own pace, with guided tours available for deeper insight. The museum houses numerous artifacts, descriptions, and first-hand accounts that shed light on the horrors that took place there. Audio guides are recommended for a more comprehensive experience. While some parts of the camp have deteriorated over time, the sheer scale of the site is awe-inspiring.
One of the best I have been to. With the audio guide and information boards you can really get a feel of what was happening here over the 30 to 60 time period
Paul A — Google review
It was very informative with a cheap audio guide (roughly €3. 50). Entry is free. It's not very easy to find your way there if you're using public transport. Google Maps took us in via an office complex and police headquarters (the old SS training camp, I believe). It's got a lot of information in the different rooms with a lot of reading, although plenty of different languages are catered for. A lot of the main areas to visit have been restored or rebuilt and it's hard to gauge the conditions of the time. It does seem to be a work in progress to restore everything and add extra sections. Some of the interactive exhibits didn't seem to work which would be troublesome for those who needed audio guidance. The computers we were using at one point just all turned off. I would recommend it but it needs a full day and plenty of energy for all of the walking and some stamina for the reading. I think they offer guided tours but I'm not certain.

Ok visit, but not that many original details still there which makes it more difficult to grasp the extent of the horror, especially for our teens. I don't want to say it's necessary to have the horrific details around, but to me it does bring a tangible message across for next generations, to make sure it never happens again.

Berlin Zoological Garden, located in the city's Tiergarten, spans over 85 acres and houses more than 15,000 animals from around 2,000 species. The zoo is home to a diverse range of creatures including lions, giant pandas, Bactrian camels, giraffes, kangaroos, penguins and even a polar bear named Knut. The large aquarium features an array of marine life such as crocodiles, jellyfish and Komodo dragons.
Berlin Zoo is a great place to visit during your trip to Berlin. Very interesting, lots of animals. Seeing pandas for the first time was a really cool experience. I recommend going to feeding shows, you can learn a lot from zookeepers feeding the animals.
Filip S — Google review
Very interesting, however not every animal was actually there to see. Some species of monkeys were not present. But monkeys are monkeys I guess. The cutest were the Pandas. The coolest was walking inside the cage where they kept some vultures and Owls. The nearly extinct sumatra tiger is the most interesting for me because fewer than 400 of them remain. I recommend you buy the tickets online on their website!

I had an amazing time visiting the Berlin Zoo. It’s one of the most impressive and well-organized zoos I’ve ever been to. The variety of animals is outstanding — from giant pandas and big cats to exotic birds and unique species you rarely see elsewhere. Each enclosure is spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed to resemble the animals’ natural habitats. The zoo is also beautifully landscaped, making it a pleasure to walk around. There are plenty of shaded paths, resting areas, and great spots for families with children. The staff are friendly and always ready to share interesting facts about the animals. Overall, the Berlin Zoo offers a wonderful experience for visitors of all ages. It’s educational, entertaining, and truly memorable. I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Berlin!
Life G — Google review
This is the best zoo I’ve seen so far. Exploring it takes at least 4–5 hours. And if you’re planning to visit the aquarium as well, it will take almost a full day. Make sure not to leave without seeing the pandas.
Recep B — Google review
My spouse and I recently visited Berlin Zoo, and while we really enjoyed seeing animals whose populations are declining worldwide—and animals that we, as humans, normally wouldn’t have the chance to see in their natural habitats—there were several things that left us disappointed. A large number of the birds were kept indoors and out of sight due to the cold weather, which is completely understandable, but still unfortunate for visitors. The reptiles and invertebrates section, which is one of the three main parts of the aquarium, was entirely closed because of renovations. Besides that, several other large areas of the zoo were also closed and inaccessible for the same reason. Despite all this, and without clear prior information, we paid nearly 70 euros for two people on a weekday, which left us quite upset. I strongly believe that by paying this amount, we deserved to experience the entire park—otherwise, the ticket price should have been lower.

The most beautiful Zoo that my husband and I have visited. 🥰 It's really huge. 😁 You need to reserve a whole day for the excursion. Unfortunately, we didn't have that time. 😓 Because this Zoo has really beautiful enclosures for the animals. The animals are in the best condition. They are really happy. 😌😍 The workers takes very good care of the entire Zoo. We liked everything here. 😍 Unfortunately, we're sorry that we didn't see everything. However, the price for admission is good and acceptable.👍😊

The Reichstag Building, a Neo-Renaissance parliament structure, boasts a striking Norman Foster-designed glass dome offering panoramic views of Berlin's government district. Despite enduring damage from fires and air raids in the 20th century, the building has been meticulously restored. Visitors can explore its historical significance, including Soviet graffiti from the Battle of Berlin.
If you do one thing In Berlin, it should definitely be this place! The views are incredible and the architecture of the dome is amazing. I am afraid of heights and I certainly didn’t expect to love it so much, not even a wobble! It strangely feels so safe. Incredible! It’s free to visit but Make sure you book on their website to visit the earlier the better! As we did and you should hear back very quickly. There is security to go through and the lift to the top is not all glass.

An amazing building to visit when in Berlin. Tickets must be booked well in advance. We booked for breakfast which was delicious with excellent views of Berlin. You cannot get in the restaurant unless you have booked . We were so glad we did . We arrived before our allotted time as it takes time to go through security. Once in you are free to explore the Norman Foster glass dome with 360 degree views of Berlin. It is an impressive structure to top such an iconic building. A real mix of modern and classical architecture with so much history
Christine A — Google review
One of the most famous tourist attractions in Berlin. You need to book online before visiting the building and the dome. Interesting historical building with a modern glass dome. The architecture is impressive, but the visit feels a bit overrated. Long waiting times and security checks make the experience less enjoyable. The view from the dome is nice, but not as spectacular as expected.
Yusuf E — Google review
One of the best things I did whilst in Berlin. From the famous dome you can see across Berlin, allowing you to see uninterrupted sights of the cities best and most famous locations. When you reach the top floor, make sure to pick up a pamphlet on your left. This will show the whole panoramic view from the top of the dome. It points out major sights, including some of the prettiest buildings I’ve ever seen. Once you reach the top, the open air dome with seats around the centre allow you to sit or lay back and relax. For our mad touristy day this made a nice break. I could sit here for hours. I’m confused why it isn’t busy as it was a spectacle every tourist needs to see! Security is tight as this is the main government building in Germany. Many high profile politicians and government officials come here daily. Make sure to bring some IDENTIFICATION if you don’t you will be refused entry! Bags are also searched. One of my favourite parts of my trip! Would recommend to everyone.
R. G — Google review
The sheer size of the structure is simply enormous. When I first saw it, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It’s a marvel to witness how they managed to construct an entire structure and place a modern dome on top. The entrance to the building is well-organized and heavily guarded, which is completely justified. As you ascend to the dome, you can explore the surrounding areas. It’s an incredible experience to walk up the slope of the dome to reach the top. At the base of the dome, you can learn about the building’s history and how the German government has evolved over time. The views are breathtaking, so I highly recommend hiring you to recommend this place to everyone. You will need to make sure to make arrangements ahead of time to visit this place. Ticket is a must and needs to be planned in advance.
Anand — Google review
I first went to the front lawn of the Reichstag and then rode around the Spree to catch a glimpse from across the river. It looked majestic from every direction. Standing there gave me a perspective — life can be cruel, but these monuments have witnessed history, stood the test of time, and still remain strong.
Pushkar — Google review
The Reichstag is well worth visiting, especially for the glass dome with its panoramic views of Berlin. Entry is free, but advance online registration is required, and security is strict, so plan some extra time. The visit is well-organized and informative, with a good balance of sightseeing and learning about the German parliament.

It’s a beautiful building and it’s free to get inside. There are so people waiting to get inside and too much control. Also, I was waiting a more impressive view, but finally it was ok. It’s a great place to take some pictures.

It's the most iconic landmark of Berlin and probably the whole of Germany. A great place to stand and think about all the history that has taken place there, and as such it's a popular and lively place to be, especially in the evenings. I visited twice, once in the evening (lady singing protest songs, guys making bubbles for little people to pop, loads of families out and people taking photos) and once at 7am on Sunday morning (I was literally the only person there as the sun was rising); you choose which vibe suits you best!

An absolutely iconic landmark standing here feels like stepping right into history! 🇩🇪 The architecture is breathtaking, especially at sunset when the lights make it glow beautifully. The atmosphere around the gate is lively yet peaceful, with street performers, photographers, and tourists from all over the world. It’s not just a monument it’s a symbol of unity and freedom. Perfect place for amazing photos, evening walks, and soaking in Berlin’s rich culture. Definitely a must-visit in Germany! ✨

A symbol of German unity and European peace, this site is an essential visit when in Berlin. It serves as a profound reminder of historical events. During our visit, the area was not overly crowded, which was quite pleasant. The sunlight illuminating the monument created a truly beautiful spectacle. The location is readily accessible via any mode of transportation.

Berlin is a unique city where past and future meet. The Museum Island is extraordinary, and walking along the Berlin Wall remains moving. The city is lively, multicultural, full of art and nightlife. Great international food and convenient transport to get around everywhere.

Visited September 2025. This was my first stop after arriving in Berlin. It is a real cool Roman style gate. The details in the design are elegant. This is a good starting point for traveling around the area to see a large number of historical attractions.
Josh H — Google review
It’s a must see in Berlin as it forms the backdrop to so much of Berlin’s history. We arrived just after 9 on a Monday morning before the crowds arrive, but even at 4 in the afternoon there was no problem moving through the area. The U-Bahn has a stop in Unter den Linden within 100 metres of the gate, and the road is generally closed to traffic. There are good interpretive signs about the various architectural and decorative aspects of the structure. The Berlin Wall line lies just to the east of the Gate and can be followed throughout the city. There are a number of eateries in close proximity, from street food to restaurants, as well as other historical locations.

Standing here feels powerful — history, freedom, and unity all in one place. Especially beautiful at sunset when the lights come on. A true symbol of Berlin

Breathtaking place with a lot of history behind it. Go early morning or late night if you want to take the best picture since the place gets crowded during the day. Best pictures at night because of the lighting.

Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe

Memorial
Sights & Landmarks
The memorial is located in Berlin, Germany, and is dedicated to the thousands of Jewish victims of the Nazi genocide. The blocks of concrete are arranged in a mazelike fashion and are said to represent the unending cycle of violence inflicted on the Jews. The information office below the memorial holds records, letters, diaries, and photographs from Holocaust victims.
Walking through the rows of concrete blocks creates a strange and unsettling feeling that stays with you. It’s a space that invites silence and reflection. There are no signs or explanations in the field itself, which makes the experience even more personal. I also recommend visiting the underground information center to better understand the history. A must-see for anyone who wants to connect with the past in a meaningful way.
Federico D — Google review
Its an interesting monument but I found that having very little information available or from the tour guide a bit average. Nobody knows the designers' reasons for the layout, etc, and it's left to your imagination. I didn't find it a moving monument like others and didn't feel it really captured the gravity of the situation or really provided a strong memorial for thise lost unfortunately, but thats just my view. It seemed to just be a bunch of concrete blocks and I feel so much more could have been done
Tom B — Google review
This site is a memorial dedicated to the six million Jewish men, women, and children who were murdered during World War II. Visitors are asked to maintain a respectful attitude while on the grounds. For some, this is a powerful reminder of history; for others, it’s a deeply personal place to remember and honor loved ones.
Stephen A — Google review
A truly wonderful free museum lies beneath these memorial stones. We had a very thought provoking and deeply interesting 90 minutes in this museum. It's beautifully put together and you need to take the time to observe and absorb all the information on show. It's time well spent.
Richard H — Google review
★★★★★ The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe hits hard. Its 2,711 stark concrete slabs, sprawling yet suffocating, force you to feel the weight of history. Designed by Peter Eisenman, opened in 2005, it’s a gut-punch tribute to the Holocaust’s victims. Wander the uneven paths—silence creeps in. Respectful yet raw, it’s unmissable. Visit at dusk for haunting vibes.

Topography of Terror

History museum
Museums
The Topography of Terror, also known as the Museum of the Gestapo, is a modern center located on the former site of the Gestapo headquarters. It documents the horrors of Nazism and provides visitors with a comprehensive understanding of the SS and police operations during World War II. The main exhibit showcases documents, photographs, audio, and film to highlight the crimes committed during this dark period in history.
A learning experience, it takes you through history chronologically, which is very interesting. We had a guide beforehand that had given us lots of stories of escape attempts and interesting facts which nicely framed the visit. Certainly woth a visit and quite mind blowing how relatively recent this was still the status Quo
Tom B — Google review
A totally shocking museum of the horrors of the Nazi regime. It is an extensive documentation of the brutal treatment of certain sections of society that did not fit in with the party's ideals. An outside display covers the pre-war to post-war eras and inside the museum large displays are enhanced by information boards covering aspects of the subject in more detail. A must visit museum if you are in Berlin. Can be busy with school groups. Free entrance.
Ivor C — Google review
The Topography of Terror is a powerful and very moving place to visit. The exhibition is well-presented, informative and deeply thought-provoking, showing the darkest part of German’s history. A must-see for anyone wanting to understand the city beyond its landmarks. This exhibition proves that Berlin doesn’t hide history, they learn from it.
Michał — Google review
Excellent. Since I last visited, they have added an indoor exhibition which is very good. It's also free and we thought it was better than the Checkpoint Charlie museum that we paid €18 to visit.

The Topography of Terror is an absolutely incredible and essential place to visit in Berlin. It was truly one of the best experiences I had, especially when listening to the audio guide—it brings the whole site to life. It's incredibly powerful and thought-provoking. I highly recommend it!

Interesting photo gallery with detailed information about WW ll and the Berlin wall. Mixture of German and foreign visitors. Entrance is free, but be aware that this is an open air historical place.
Aslan V — Google review
If you’re interested in history, especially the events surrounding World War II and the Nazi regime, the Topography of Terror is a must-visit in Berlin. Located on the site where the SS and Gestapo headquarters once stood, this open-air and indoor museum offers a powerful and sobering look into one of the darkest chapters in human history. Through photographs, documents, and audio-visual materials, the exhibition presents a detailed account of how the Nazi regime used terror to control and persecute. The outdoor section also preserves part of the Berlin Wall, adding to the historical depth of the site. Admission is free, and it’s very well-organized, with information available in both German and English. It’s a moving experience that encourages reflection and understanding — not just of Germany’s past, but of the importance of human rights and democratic values today.

Checkpoint Charlie

Mentioned on 
+113 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Located in the heart of Berlin, Checkpoint Charlie is a historic landmark that once served as the third checkpoint for immigration control during the Cold War. It separated the Soviet zone from the American sector and was a significant point for political visits and espionage activities. Today, visitors can explore its documentation center to learn about dramatic escapes, the Berlin Tank Crisis, and other historical events. Although it has become somewhat of a tourist attraction with reconstructed elements, it remains a powerful symbol of the Cold War era.
It’s free. You don’t need a tour guide to read to you what’s posted on the walls or make up exaggerated stories that you can google yourself. Unless you are that lazy, then pay someone to hold your hands. There is a long line in front of the US side of check point Charlie. Don’t wait there for a photo. Instead go to the back and you’ll get a better photo of both the US booth and the where the DMZ area and where the East German booth was. Side photos are also amazing. The is one last piece of the Berlin wall on display here next to the museum. You don’t need an entrance fee to the museum to see the wall. Also, there are literally tons of souvenir wall fragments being sold for over $30 each. Probably fake, some concrete and spray paint. I can’t believe how many people were lining up to buy these. They aren’t even works of art. Save your money on good German chocolate instead, made by a chocolate store not sold in a gift shop.

They tried to keep everything like in old times, really helps to imagine the atmosphere. But the best value to the place given by the museum, located next to checkpoint. Real life stories and historical facts are displayed in the museum

Historic place with a lot of meaning, but quite touristy. The replica guardhouse and signs give you a feel of the Cold War era, and the info boards are interesting. Worth a quick stop, but the surrounding souvenir shops take away some of the atmosphere.

Not as busy as a thought. Very easy to get to, interesting piece of history. Don't go into the museum nearby, that's a scam. There is a better one down the street at Wilhelmstraße, that's free and has the actual berlin wall preserved with many interesting infographic

Overrated tourist trap some say however I'll never not visit on a trip to Berlin. We visited on a Saturday morning in October and it was so quiet, I was surprised as usually it's heaving. Got the obligatory photo in the rebuilt checkpoint area. A great learning opportunity for our children who have no idea of the scale of the east/wear divide during the 20th century.
Nicola D — Google review
There really aren't tickets. It is just a spot between two sides of a very small street. Should you go? If you have reasons, or even if you don't, it is a good idea to stop by, even if for a moment. Take time to think about being walled off from people you love, take time to think about the kind of austerity that was experienced here. Also be aware there are some interesting characters hanging around, especially at night. Some will stop you and offer a lecture or a tour or to answer questions for a fee. Might be okay, might not be. You must decide. Otherwise, it is surprisingly small. Maybe read up beforehand and visit other important sites before coming to this one so you will have a better sense of what it is about. Definitely worth a visit. It will give you the feels.

Berlin Wall Memorial

Memorial park
Sights & Landmarks
The Berlin Wall Memorial is a preserved section of the original wall that once divided West Berlin from Democratic Germany. This 800-meter-long monument on Bernauerstrasse serves as a reminder of the historic divide and the unity of the German people.
It keeps alive the memories of those whose lives were shaped by the Wall, illustrating its impact on families and everyday life. After the park, visit the nearby exhibition: it tells detailed personal stories from both sides of reunification and is beautifully curated. A few video stations were out of order, yet the overall presentation is so thorough that I still give it five stars. Highly recommended if you want to grasp Berlin’s history up close.
Fabrizio P — Google review
A powerful and emotional place to visit. The Berlin Wall Memorial offers a deep insight into the city’s divided past. The preserved section of the wall, watchtower, and detailed exhibits tell the stories of those affected by the separation. Walking along the open-air site feels moving and reflective. The information boards are clear and engaging, available in multiple languages. It’s not just a monument, but a reminder of history and hope. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to understand Berlin’s past beyond just seeing the wall itself. A must-visit for history lovers and thoughtful travelers alike.
Mahesh K — Google review
It was hard to get to because GPS was all over the place but once you get here, it's a well maintained historical type park. Every step there is an explanation or a story about the people who lived in the area before and after the walls went up. They were nice enough to have English translations. The stories of the the people's struggles with examples of their determination to be with the ones they loved were sadly inspirational and thought provoking.

This exhibit is a must see! The inside exhibit has detailed information regarding the history and proces of constructing the wall. The exterior exhibit has a 100 meter portion of the original Berlin wall. The articles and information next to each segment give the history and evolution of the wall. Make sure you allocate about 2 hours to truly absorb the total amount of information and articles.

The Pergamonmuseum is a museum complex located on Museum Island in Berlin, comprising five historical institutions across three wings. It houses an impressive collection of ancient Roman, Greek, Babylonian, and Persian artifacts. The museum is currently undergoing extensive renovations to repair structural damage and is expected to fully reopen by 2037. However, the North Wing and central area are set to reopen in 2027.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love this place! 🥹 It was a one-time visit but so enriching and unforgettable. Walking inside felt like traveling back in time The Ishtar Gate was absolutely breathtaking 💙 and seeing the stone with Hammurabi’s laws ⚖️ gave me chills. And then the Roman Market Gate left me speechless. The size, the details, the feeling of standing in front of such a masterpiece… it was beyond words. Everything is displayed beautifully, it feels like a smooth journey through civilizations. Honestly, it’s not just “old things,” it’s history talking to you ✨ Highly recommend it if you’re in Berlin 🙌

If you haven't seen this museum till now, don't lose the chance to get familiar with the awesome history of great ancient human civilizations, it also can be interesting for kids or teenagers.

Not a bad place. Not too big but enough to see. Pictures attached. It has very good disability access and the staff are very friendly. You need to leave your bags in lockers and need a euro or a 2 euro coin, which is returned after you take your stuff back out. Very bright and airy. Great perspective with the life size exhibits. Worth a visit but it isn't free.

One of the most interesting museums I have ever been to. Would surely recommend to anyone who likes history. Alot to learn and much beauty to admire. It took us about 3 hours without rushing and we were able to walk through all the exhibits. TIP: Make sure to carry an A4 size bag if you would like to carry some water or any thing else inside with you. There is a coat check area and lockers for bigger bags. You just need 1-2 Euro to access them which you can get back at the end of your tour. Enjoy!

Berlin Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+110 other lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Berlin Cathedral, also known as Berliner Dom, is a majestic 1800s structure located on Museum Island near Lustgarten. It features a towering 75-meter-high dome and houses an organ with an impressive 7,269 pipes. The cathedral encompasses the Parish Church, Baptismal and Nuptial Church, and Memorial Church within its New Baroque design. Visitors can admire the Imperial Staircase adorned with bronze cornices and paintings by Albert Hertel from 1905.
We went on a very warm and sunny day. You have to leave backpacks in a locker (you need 1 euro coins which you get back when you return). We managed to get the last open locker as it was a busy day. Going into the cathedral you are met with a quiet and serene space with some fantastic murals and carvings on the huge dome. We spent 15-20 minutes just gazing around and admiring the huge organ (they have specific times when it's played but not when we had visited). You can then climb up 267 steps which starts very normal and wide and then later becomes narrow and winding metal stairs. There are places to stop and catch your breath but there are warnings everywhere that you have to commit once you start and it's not a trivial climb. Once up top you have fantastic views across the entire city and can walk around the entire dome admiring the 360 views. There was enough space to stop, admire the views and take plenty of pictures. As it was a very warm day, the side away from the sun was cooler and hence more busy. Once you have taken in the views you walk back down a different set of stairs (another 250+ steps) to a cafe area. Don't forget to go around the corner and fetch your bags. Overall a great place to learn the history, spend time in quiet contemplations and then get a workout for both your feet and your eyes. Highly recommend the 10 euro or so entrance fee (we bought online). The local area there is full of museums and other sights not to be missed.

Visited September 2025. You have to pay to enter. They don't take Amex. Price was 10 euros. Stepping inside this church made me think I was in an Italian church. The intricate details are incredible. Many paintings and ornamental features throughout. We made the climb to the top, which was a lot of steps, but you are rewarded with beautiful views of the city. I definitely recommend a visit.

This Cathedral is well worth a visit. There is an entrance fee and then you step inside. Take your time there is so much to admire and take in. The architecture is amazing. You also have the opportunity to climb the stairs for a rooftop view. Something like 280 steps, well worth it for the views. Highly recommended

The Berlin Dome is absolutely stunning! It’s a monument full of history, with incredible architecture and breathtaking paintings inside.

If you have some time to spare in Berlin, the Cathedral is definitely worth a visit. If you decide to go inside, I highly recommend taking the audio guide as it is very informative and well put together. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to visit the dome because it closes about 30 to 40 minutes before the official closing time. It’s worth going a bit earlier, as the views from the top must be excellent and there is no extra charge to access it.
Abril S — Google review
Absolutely magnificent architecture! This photo perfectly captures the grandeur of the Berliner Dom against a beautiful, clear blue sky. The huge central dome and the smaller side domes with their distinctive patina-green copper tops are truly breathtaking. The sheer scale and detailed sculptures on the façade make it one of Berlin's most impressive buildings. Even with a bit of scaffolding visible (which is common for historical maintenance), the majesty of the cathedral shines through. The trees below add a nice touch of nature to the monumental structure. This is a must-see landmark situated right on Museum Island. Be sure to go inside if you have the chance, and don't miss the crypt or the climb to the dome for panoramic views of the city. A true highlight of any Berlin trip!

Museum Island is a small island located in the Spree River and is home to a collection of five renowned museums.
In the heart of Berlin, Museum Island is a UNESCO World Heritage site that houses five of the city’s most important museums. Ancient artifacts at the Pergamon Museum or classical art at the Alte Nationalgalerie, this island offers a cultural treat.
Ana S — Google review
Impressive architecture, but limited overall experience Museum Island’s building architecture is truly stunning — the classical facades and grand structures are a visual treat and stand out beautifully against the backdrop of Berlin. However, beyond the exterior, I found the overall experience somewhat underwhelming. While Berlin itself offers many architectural marvels and vibrant cultural scenes, Museum Island didn’t feel as engaging or unique as expected. Worth a visit for the architecture alone, but perhaps not a must-see if you’re short on time.
Ashvin K — Google review
Museum Island is one of Berlin’s main cultural attractions, bringing together several important museums in one place. The architecture is impressive, and the area is easy to walk around.

Museum Island is one of Berlin’s most impressive highlights—a UNESCO World Heritage Site that brings together five major museums on a single, stunning island. Whether you step inside or simply walk around, the atmosphere is rich, historic, and beautifully immersive. The island is home to the Pergamon Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie, Neues Museum, Altes Museum, and Bode Museum—each offering something unique, from ancient civilizations and archaeological wonders to classical art, sculpture, and cultural history. Even with some construction happening around the area, the charm of the place remains untouched. The architecture across the island is truly remarkable and feels different from the rest of Berlin—grand, elegant, and full of character. It’s always busy with tourists, yet surprisingly clean and well-kept. Just be mindful of the usual tourist traps nearby.

If you want to experience the beauty of Berlin as a tourist, this is the number 1 place to be. The architecture here is unparalleled compared to the other parts of the city.

Beware of people who make who sign on a form to support children and then ask for money. Don't fall for them.

The Berlin TV Tower, also known as the Fernsehturm, is an iconic symbol of the city and a popular attraction for tourists. Standing at 368 meters tall, it offers a viewing gallery at 203 meters and a revolving restaurant at 207 meters. Despite its association with the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), it now stands as a symbol of reunified Berlin. Visitors can enjoy a 360-degree panorama of the city from its observation deck, although long queues are common.

A little pricy however you will get the best views across the city, you can see for miles. You go quickly up the elevator to the point where your ears pop on the way up. If you take photos of the views be prepared to alter the white balance as the viewing windows tend to have a green tint. Would be nice to see the views at night.
Random U — Google review
Perfect view on a good day. In my opinion the best time to visit is daytime on a clear day. That's when you get the best overview of the city. After sunset it's too dark and you can't identify the various places in the city. It felt a bit crowded on the viewing terrace though. Too many people due to early closing because of a special arrangement on the day of our visit. The queue to the elevator going down was way too long.
Elisabeth J — Google review
Iconic View, But Manage Your Expectations As a Berlin resident, I finally took the plunge to visit the TV Tower with my guests from abroad. I booked the Standard Ticket with the bar reservation included, and I have to praise the overall organization: getting in was incredibly efficient, and the elevator ride was impressively fast. The 360-degree view on a clear day is, of course, absolutely phenomenal and gives you a panoramic understanding of the entire city. The Major Downside: Overcrowding Unfortunately, the experience at the top was quite disappointing due to the severe overcrowding. It was so crowded that it was difficult to move, and we could barely get close to the windows to view the city in a relaxed way. It felt hectic and rushed, which really diminished the beauty of the experience. Bar Service Saves the Day A huge positive was the bar. They have great drink options, and the barman was very generous with the portions of wine, which certainly helped make the visit more enjoyable despite the crowds! Verdict: While the organization and bar service were excellent, the sheer number of people allowed up at once is poorly managed. If the tower better controlled the number of visitors allowed per time slot, this experience would be world-class. It’s worth doing once for the view, but be prepared for a very crowded and potentially frustrating experience if you visit during a busy time.

I booked the breakfast experience for my partner and I. It wasn’t as full as we were expecting and we were totally blown away with our window seat. It was a clear sunny morning and the changing view over the 1 hour 40 mins. The breakfast was well presented and service was excellent. It’s a unique experience. For the extra cost over just going to the viewing platform it’s worth every extra pound/euro! You get a clearer extremely relaxing view and no crowds. We were lucky with the weather on a November day and noticed that it got more hazy later in the morning. There is a system for letting people in to the building which mixes those going to viewing deck and those got the restaurant. It might be better to give priority to eaters as they have specific time slots. I wish I’d taken my binoculars. All in all I’d highly recommend the restaurant experience for breakfast time views. Even though it was ‘just’ breakfast it seemed nevertheless quite romantic for our little celebration.

This great structure dominates the Berlin skyline. It can be seen from all over Berlin. It’s a famous landmark of Berlin. I didn’t go to the top due to time restraints and the cost. I couldn’t find anywhere that sold entry tickets for less than €20. It’s also in a reasonably built up area so sights would be limited from most the sides, I would guess. However, saying that there are some incredible buildings nearby that might be nice to see from above. I personally think I would prefer other viewing experiences in Berlin for lower costs(I can’t name them as this is against googles reviewing policies but it might be a certain political building with stellar views). I hear there is a restaurant at the top that friends have recommended. A stable and defining piece of the Berlin skyline that can be seen from throughout the city, however, high prices let this tower down.

The tower is an unmistakable icon of Berlin’s skyline, a striking relic of the GDR era. Its gleaming sphere is instantly recognizable, and the observation deck at around 203 m offers sweeping, impressive views of the entire city. It’s a bit on the expensive side, but the experience feels worth it.

I went here for the 'Highest Breakfast' experience and it was lovely. The food was delicious and the staff and waiter were super friendly and welcoming. The waiter told me that Breakfast time is the quietest time to go, and indeed, only a few other tables were occupied and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Apparently the evening dining can be quite busy, and louder as a result, so I'm glad I picked to go in the morning. The floor where the tables sit is slowly rotating, so you get to see the whole surrounding skyline without even leaving your seat. I loved the neat but fancy decor, and drinking my coffee while looking out over Berlin. I would definitely recommend the restaurant if you're thinking of visiting.

Nice museum, for a fair price, but it's a shame no one speaks English. All the information and explanations are also in German.

(Translated by Google) A museum with limited space, but packed to the rafters with hundreds of collected exhibits. Unfortunately, many exhibits are still in their original state as they came out of the ground and have not yet been processed. (Original) Ein zwar flächenmäßig begrenztes Museum, aber bis unters Dach vollgestopft mit hunderten zusammengetragenen Ausstellungsstücken. Leider sind viele Exponate noch im Urzustand wie sie aus dem Boden kamen und noch nicht aufbereitet.

(Translated by Google) Super interesting and lovingly made museum that is designed and run entirely by volunteers. We got a lot of information about topics that we didn't previously know how exciting they were. Was fun! (Original) Super interessantes und liebevoll gemachtes Museum, das komplett von Freiwilligen gestaltet und geführt wird. Wir haben ganz viel Info bekommen über Themen, von denen wir vorher nicht wussten, wie spannend sie sind. Hat Spaß gemacht!

This was one of the mosz hidden places in the former East-Germany military zone, because first the German Wehrmacht had the main headquarters overthere and after the WWII the Russian Army in Germany stayed there for 49 years! There are a lot of bunkers and other hidden buildings. Make a guided tour around there. After that you can visit one of most exciting book shops ...! Strongly recommended to history interested tourist and locals!

(Translated by Google) Absolutely. A piece of contemporary history that's a must-see. Unfortunately, only with a guided tour, but it's worth it. (Original) Auf jeden Fall. Ein Stück Zeitgeschichte das man sich ansehen muss. Leider nur in Verbindung mit einer Führung aber das lohnt sich.

(Translated by Google) An interesting place! A tour guide as a tour guide... But I just really wanted to visit and see the location of the main center of the Soviet den in Germany. (Original) Цікаве місце! Екскурсовод як екскурсовод... А просто дуже хотілося побувати й побачити розташування самого головного центру сов'єтського кубла у Німеччині.
