National Museum of Agriculture in Szreniawa

National museum
Museums
The National Museum of Agriculture in Szreniawa is a cultural gem that offers a fascinating insight into the history of food production and its impact on modern farming. The museum boasts an extensive collection showcasing folk culture, land reclamation, food processing, fertilization, and more. Visitors can explore vintage plows, tractors, bikes, and even interact with farm animals in the petting zoo.
Vast and amazing museum costing just 20 zl covering lots of historical interests and beyond: -agriculture (growing grains, making oil and flour etc) -farm machinery -cars -brewing and distilling -farm animals (you can pet some of them like goats) Really interesting day out. Many, but not all of the exhibits have English translations (would be great to have them for everything as the exhibits are so interesting) . There is an audio guide but we didn’t take this so not sure if it was good. Lots of toilets and a good cafe.

It's very spacious, pretty and well-maintained. There are various interesting exhibitions. The playground and farm animal area are of course highlights for little kids. It's a lovely place to visit even in a hot or rainy day - thanks for the indoor exhibitions.

Great place for a family walk. Interesting exhibitions including old machines, old cars (Polonez, Syrenka, Tarpan), old aeroplanes. Children loved also animals :)

The National Museum of Agriculture in Szreniawa is a fantastic place to visit! The museum is incredibly spacious, offering plenty of room to explore its fascinating exhibits on agriculture and food industry history. The grounds are beautifully maintained, making it a pleasant experience to walk around and take in the rich cultural heritage. One of the highlights is the food market held on Saturdays, where you can find a variety of fresh, local produce and traditional products. It's a perfect spot for both learning and enjoying a taste of Polish countryside life. Highly recommended for families, history enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a relaxing day out!

Parowozownia Wolsztyn

Rail museum
Museums
Unassuming rooms in a steam locomotive facility offering a museum & guided tours.
It is a unique place where you can see steam locomotives going according to the timetable. The depot and museum are worth visiting, especially for steam engine lovers.
Zenia C — Google review
Steam Festival May 2025. The advantage of the 'VIP' area is that you have a seat and a reasonably good view of the 'parade', run pasts, which was impressive. However, you can't see the opening ceremonies, brass band, cheerleaders, etc. It was very crowded with limited seating areas but quite a few food and drink outlets and retail goods. The evening light show was disappointing.
Gordon — Google review
After wanting to visit for a few years, I finally made it. The displays were incredible, but I was truly sad to learn there is no longer a daily train service, only limited and on Saturday. I wish I had known that before arriving. However, I’m so glad I had the chance to visit; it felt like Disneyland for this railfan, and I may well be back!
Garret G — Google review
The train yard displays are interesting and interactive. Many of the displays are in English, German, and Polish. You can also play audio descriptions on your phone.

Interesting museum especially for the enthusiast with several running trains and a number of dilapidated ones left alongside. Some old carriages the various descriptions even a snowplough that attaches to the big trains. I would recommend this place as probably one of the few places left runnung these beautiful masive living steam machines especially, if you are an enthuast, If you re not, still worth a visit and you can ride on a working steam train which I understand regularly runs on commercial tracks. So whilst I am not an enthusiast my wife seems to enjoy this sort of thing. Could probably spend a good half day, running back-and-forth on the steam train and combining that with the museum. They have a couple of trains that have featured in some well-known films, including the one in Schlindeler's list. Incidentally, that was a brilliant emotional historical film. If you are in the area and have some time, it is worth a visit.
Ro M — Google review
Place almost forgotten and where time kind of stopped. Visit in Wolsztyn is an amazing experience for everyone - both kids & adults. Looking at steam engines bring you that nostalgic feeling... but when you see it running/ starting from the station you're thrilled!

Quite OK. Worth to visit if you are passing by Wolsztyn. But not for 5 "stars". So, 4*

Statue of Christ the King

Pilgrimage place
Sights & Landmarks
The world's largest statue of Jesus Christ, financed by donations from the town's residents.
My goodness this was amazing. The towns people donated the money to make this. It’s really really good. Steps are a short cut but there is a round pathway up to the statue. Nice because there are also other signs and statues to see as well. Also some statutes on the far side of the property. Some are behind trees so they are hard to see but the few I saw are very nice. They have out houses but we went into town and used a toilet there instead. Maybe a mile. This is right off of the highway. You see it from far away and easy to get to. Worth it.
Bobbi S — Google review
Very impressive! It's just off the highway, so it's definitely worth a stop over. It's taller than the statue in Rio de Janeiro, a lot less busy and completely free! Built using donations from the town's residents. Free parking too.
Christian C — Google review
Was definitely worth it stopping by here after seeing it from the town. Pretty cool and impressive that I actually saw Jesus here. Free parking and a food truck available for a drink on the go, which is nice. Not much to say about this place besides it being impressive and cool to see and visit Jesus Christ. We liked it, worth a stop.
Nikolai M — Google review
A huge statue of Christ. It is described as larger than the one in Rio de Janeiro. The statue is 36 metres high and weighs 440 tonnes. Parking was free. You can park a motorhome in front of the bridge. Visiting the statue was free. There is a small bar in front where you can buy drinks. You can take dogs into the park, but not to the statue.
Edit A — Google review
The Christ the King statue in Świebodzin is truly impressive and worth seeing in person. It’s huge, visible from far away, and offers a beautiful view of the town from the hill. The place has a peaceful, spiritual atmosphere and is very clean and well maintained. The only downside is that there aren’t many cafés nearby, but overall, I definitely recommend visiting!
Miks Š — Google review

Ridiculous dress policy for men. Fitted swimwear only! Not clear at all on the website, turned up with two children and were told that we would be let in but the guards would ask us to leave. Never come across this rule, never plan to go back.
Paul ( — Google review
While entering the place you receive a bracelet which is your locker key, ticket and can be used for purchasing snacks and drinks. You will later pay for everything while leaving the place. It's nicely structured allowing you to have some fun in the water with artificial waves or swimming aside for recreational or sporting purposes. There is also an extra pool dedicated to children. A sauna and bar are also available.
Dawid P — Google review
So my wife and I decided to take a trip out to the pool with our 7 month old daughter on the bank holiday. Pretty good that the pool is open still, but not very good that you have to pay for a 7 month old to go to swimming. Surely the parents paying is enough, anyway, annoying but tolerable. The changing rooms are pretty good but once you’re changed, you head into the pool, this for me is where the real issue came up. Where as in the UK or the rest of Europe, wearing swimming shorts is perfectly normal; if you do so here you can expect to be immediately confronted by one of the guards who will inform you that they are unacceptable. Where on earth do you have to wear ridiculous looking tight mini shorts, here, that’s where! Stupid. I had to retire to the changing rooms where I sat and waited for my wife and daughter to finish. I could have gone out to the shop and bought a pair of the ridiculous looking shorts but they would have been useless anywhere else apart from potentially some strange sex dungeon. When we left we noticed there is a sign by the door but it’s not big enough and it almost needs someone to stand there pointing out that they have some ridiculous rules on pool attire. If you turn up with the stupid shorts, or just a pair of speedos the pool actually looks good, hence the 2 stars.

Focus Mall

Shopping mall
Shopping
Contemporary, bi-level shopping plaza with many international brands, plus a movie theater & a gym.
A great selection of international and Polish high street stores. Everything is very well priced between the shops and lots of different eateries to choose from. Plentiful parking and the machine takes card and cash. Able to change language from Polish, English and German.
Barten — Google review
3 out of 5 - You lose one star because brands sell more expensively than on their own websites (apparently they need to factor the very high rent in your mall) - You lose another star due to the aggressive greedy parking strategy, if someone is late 30 min they get a parking ticket of 150 PLN (these people are spending money in your mall, and you guys want to ticket them for having ticket time overdue by 30 min, what a greedy and bad business strategy)

Focus Mall Zielona Góra is a fantastic shopping destination! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. The mall offers a wide variety of stores, catering to all tastes and preferences, from high-end fashion to everyday essentials. The layout is spacious and well-organized, making it easy to navigate and find exactly what you’re looking for. The food court is a highlight, featuring an impressive selection of restaurants and cafes. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick snack or a sit-down meal, you’ll find plenty of delicious options to choose from. I especially enjoyed the diverse range of cuisines available. Focus Mall also excels in entertainment and leisure activities. The modern cinema is a great place to catch the latest movies, and there are plenty of fun spots for kids, making it an ideal family-friendly destination. One of the standout features is the cleanliness and overall upkeep of the mall. It’s evident that the management takes great pride in maintaining a pleasant environment for all visitors. The staff in the stores and throughout the mall are always friendly, helpful, and provide excellent customer service. Parking is convenient and ample, with easy access to the mall entrances. Additionally, the location of Focus Mall in Zielona Góra is central and easily accessible, making it a go-to spot for both locals and visitors. Overall, Focus Mall Zielona Góra is a top-notch shopping center that provides a wonderful experience for everyone. Highly recommended for a day of shopping, dining, and entertainment!

Beautiful ultra modern mall a short distance from historic downtown Zielona Gora. I admit it looked like a bank from the outside but once you go inside it is as modern and filled with anmenities as any other. Their food court offers better alternatives to the usual fast food fare and they have a full service theater.

A must-see place for everyone with an interest in both art and human and animal anatomy. The historical parts of the exposition (regarding the history and evolution of anatomy preparations, and the biography of Dr. Tod) were very interesting too. The shocking and unusual presentation of human biology made me reflect on how many things could be beautiful, interesting and terrifying at once. Highly recommend!

Sleek spa getaway offering rooms with nature views, plus a laid-back restaurant.
A big variety of thermal baths, it's entertaining to move from one to another. Thermal baths section is not textile free, sauna section is, which is quite convenient. Great 2+1 evening deal, where you pay for 2 hours, get 1 for free
Annina H — Google review
Very rude service in the cafeteria of sauna area. They took my water bottle from my bag when I was not there, because it was a glass bottle, which is okay. I didn't know that it was not allowed to take glass bottle and it was not written anywhere. After visiting sauna I was thirsty and asked them to give me some water from my bottle. He started with very nonsense arguments and pour the water so angrily and gave it to me. I have no idea how it could be the behaviour of a service personnel.

We only used the SPA facilities and not the hotel, but the former where unexpectedly excellent (the hotel looks great too, if you like the sort). Spacious, new, impeccable with a large variety of thermal baths, fed with water from a salty hot spring 1,350mts deep, and an outstanding sauna landscape! The food and service at the restaurant in the SPA area was also excellent and can be accessed from within the bath area or from outside. Finally, great value for money!!
Z U — Google review
Good place to relax but has some downsides. 15 minutes of waiting in line to checkout and entrance to the facility. Moving around in the locker room was uncomfortable - narrow changing rooms, narrow passages and narrow lockers. Poor hair dryers. Showers - no soap to wash the body before entering the pool area. Children splashed around in the high-salinity pool - salty water in the eyes was not pleasant. I was positively surprised by the baskets for the private belongings of the guests of the facility, which should reduce the unused sunbeds, occupied by 'towels'. Floating in a high-salinity pool was a nice experience. Same as 'jumping' between hot and cold pools. It's a pity that everywhere descriptions are only in German. Only in the restaurant part I saw information in Polish. I do not know how many foreigners visit these thermal baths, but I think that signs/descriptions also in English would be useful. If I have the opportunity, I will come here again and try the sauna area.
Vanalai — Google review
The number of stars is the same because the pool area and the sauna area cannot be evaluated separately. The pool part deserves five stars, everything is modern, the pools are hot, the food in the restaurant is better and beautifully designed than in most normal restaurants. The sauna part deserves one star for the pleasant sitting by the fireplace, but that's all. A couple of saunas, the rituals are only done in one small sauna and they are so boring, no music and all more or less the same. Also, someone could occasionally wash the glass on the sauna door. And very kindly staff.
Natália G — Google review
The place is amazing, it has many adequate facilities and you get quite relaxed. Statt was friendly and we had a good time. The only thing that made our visit a unpleasant was the fact that we are not white European looking people and if you go during the week, be ready to be the focus point from all the older visitors who sometimes seemed to be very uncomfortable with our presence there. It took me a while to get relaxed with so many people keeping the eyes on what I do.

Wow! This is the nicest place I’ve been to in a long time, there are indoor 5 pools of varying temperatures and salt contents, one pool is only 18C. Also inside there is a large hot tub and a snack and drink bar. There is also an outdoor pool. For an small extra fee you can use the sauna area, this includes multiple indoor and outdoor sauna and one outdoor pool. In this area there is also a drink and snack bar. The staff here are very friendly and helpful and I would strongly recommend it here to any one who has not been before.

My Buddy and I had a fantastic time here. We spend over 10 hours here. The Sauna options are awesome. So many great choices. Everybody is friendly. A very relaxed and chilled place to enjoy a day of relaxation. They have Hefeweizen on Tap which is really great. The Food in the Restaurant was awesome. We had lunch and later dinner there. I can't saying anything negative about the food or service. We mainly chilled on the rooftop patio. Sunday is a great time to come, no many people around. The pools are fun too. Loved the floating quite pool. We had such a great time we will be back. Can't wait. Thanks for letting us enjoy the facilities to the end. We where some of the last to leave. Thanks for your patience. The employees make the place special. Thanks for a wonderful time.
Terence H — Google review
Huh somewhere between 3 and 4 tbh, but somehow more for three. So in consideration of price, and comparing price this price with vabali I would say that this spa fails the most. 6h with saunas and therme included is smth like 95 euros and ok its fine but I would for this price expect few basic things: - there is no shower gel.. - really limited and hidden places for taking water even in new buildings there is no place for drinkable water - towels not provided - because of location I would expect that's cheaper And then few things that I would expect for this money: - Ordering in a restaurant is like you need to go to the place order food and then they will bring it to you, it's kind of a half self service - would expect a lot of more sun beds it's almost impossible to find one that's free and many of them are just covered with someone's towel. - just found at the end that it's forbidden to take pictures, I don't have an issue with not taking pictures but it's really not so obvious Positive things: - really nice big pools, salty water, sound pool - Thai restaurants have really good food - new building panorama sauna and last floor terrace is awesome Overall, most of sauna's are really small so for sauna part if you want to visit there is much better sauna focus spa and it's in the center of Berlin. But for pools, I would definitely choose this one over the Vabali.

The worst possible experience to come all the way from Berlin to Bad Saarow Therme with the family to experience that this place solely dedicated to senior citizens/adults on Fridays and Saturdays. Children-free days are Friday and Saturday. What a “family-friendly” approach :( Terrible! BIG NOT thank you to the management of this place for ruining my son’s weekend! :(

I've been to better spas..... My wife and I went here last night because we received a gift certificate for our wedding. We spent a little over 6 hours in the pool and sauna. Unfortunately, we didn't like it that much. While the saunas themselves are great, our favorite was the panoramic sauna overlooking the lake, everything else is tiny and feels cramped. The large saltwater pool is nice, but not as relaxing. And again, the space between the pools and the beds is very small and hard to walk around. A big positive surprise was the restaurant. We had the edamame, gyoza, mangu curry with shrimp and bun bo nam bo. It was delicious. Probably one of the best Thai meals I've had west of Phuket. Unfortunately, the evening ended on a sour note as the parking garage is also - surprise, surprise - super cramped and I scratched the rims of our car going down the super narrow ramp. To sum up: we've been here, but we prefer the SpreewaldTherme in Burg or the VaBali Spa in Berlin.

Lovely place to go. The saunas have really nice view to the park! I wished that they had a proper restaurant with more options in the afternoon.

This spa is about 1 hour by train from Berlin then around 20 minutes by bus. Ideally you should spend at least 3 hours to really enjoy it. It offers jacuzzi, swimming pools and sauna. I loved the jacuzzi and the lavender sauna along with many cold and hot showers. Daily pass cost Euro 27 and 10 extra for sauna. Unfortunately, the food is very limited and the sitting is just wooden benches with ants crawling all over the tables. Obsulatly disgusting! There is a nice park overlooking a lake next to it , it's worth a visit.

This is one of the most relaxing and clean public thermal and spa places I've seen. It's affordable, you can reach it by train and public transport in less than an hour and half from Berlin. They have different kinds of pools inside and outside. I would like to give a plus point for the pool with underwater music and its relaxing atmosphere. I heard its textile-free for adults on Saturday. Make a phone call and reassure it before you head on to this beautiful oasis.

Super cool feelings during the winter time! There are lots of pool to chill inside and one of them in outside which is the coolest one! For 3 hours cost is 17 euro around, I paid in January 2020. They give a bracelet for entrance and locker to put your stuff safely. Only one thing was really annoying if you go there really busy time, after bathing when you’re exiting from the place you need to wait in the line to give your bracelet and for payment! It’s horrible system which I saw first time in my entirely life! Why they’re not taking money at the entrance and putting a box to want us to put bracelets... I didn’t expect from Germany sorry but disappointed.

Nice, interesting and small museum, friendly staff, beautiful place. I gave 4 stars and not 5, because - Everything - is only in German. There is not a single explanation in the exhibition in English or any other language.

Very interesting too see a house where one of the most important German writers lived and worked in his retreats, but I would have liked to see more information on his relationship with the house and the region too, as most of the memorabilia present there is connected to Berlin, with very few pieces connected to Buckow and the house itself.
Tahian B — Google review
(Translated by Google) Very exciting historical place for the whole family. Here the life and work of Berthold Brecht and Helene Weigel are also brought closer to children. The house by the lake is (alone) worth a trip. I was at a special exhibition on site, which was a good connection to Brecht's work. And there were delicious apples for free (a wonderful welcome) I also find it remarkable that the parking space in front of the door can be given free of charge. The surroundings of the house invite you to linger... But more on that in a separate article. (Original) Sehr spannender historischer Ort für die ganze Familie. Hier wird das Leben und Wirken von Berthold Brecht und Helene Weigel auch den Kindern näher gebracht. Das Haus am See ist (allein schon) einen Ausflug wert. Ich war bei einer Sonderausstellung vor Ort, welche eine gute Verbindung zum Schaffen von Brecht war. Und leckere Äpfel gab es gratis (wunderschöner Willkommensgruß) Bemerkenswert finde ich auch, dass der Parkplatz vor der Tür gratis Geburt werden kann. Die Umgebung des Hauses lädt zum Verweilen ein... Aber dazu mehr in einem gesonderter Beitrag.

(Translated by Google) We were there for an event with Scarlett O. and Jürgen E., for which we had already bought tickets in advance. Beforehand we visited the museum, the garden and the theater shed. As a German scholar, after learning a lot of theory, it was a wonderful practical experience. I had goosebumps, especially when watching the excerpts from “Mother Courage,” how current and far-sighted Brecht was. A museum worth seeing with very friendly staff. The concert was also an experience. Thank you for the lovely day! (Original) Wir waren für eine Veranstaltung mit Scarlett O. und Jürgen E. da, wofür wir Karten schon vorab gekauft hatten. Vorher besuchten wir das Museum, den Garten und den Theater-Schuppen. Als Germanisten war es nach viel erlernter Theorie eine wunderbare Praxiserfahrung. Ich hatte insbesondere bei den Ausschnitten aus "Mutter Courage" Gänsehaut, wie aktuell und weitsichtig Brecht doch war. Ein sehenswertes Museum mit sehr freundlichen Mitarbeiterinnen. Das Konzert war ebenfalls ein Erlebnis. Vielen Dank für den schönen Tag!

(Translated by Google) Nice place to relax and think. The exhibition is too unreflective: the difficult marriage between Brecht and Weigel and their failure as parents are not discussed. (Original) Schöner Ort, um zur Ruhe zu kommen und nachzudenken. Zu reflexionslose Ausstellung: Die schwierige Ehe zwischen Brecht und Weigel und das Versagen als Eltern wird nicht thematisiert.

SATAMA SAUNA RESORT & SPA

Sauna
Spas & Wellness
Airy accommodations in a refined lakeside spa resort with a restaurant, saunas & an outdoor pool.
We loved our Spa & Sauna Day and stayed for the entire opening time on a Saturday. Starting with breakfast and finishing with a cocktail, coffee and Cake+ beautiful dinner and many visits to various saunas and the pool in between! All in our bathrobes and flip flops! Plenty of deck chairs at the lake, beautiful rest rooms, the attraction was the theater sauna though, I've never seen anything like this and I'm sure nobody back home in Ireland will believe me because I've no photographic evidence!!!:D Will return!

Been here many times. Always very nice and relaxing. The saunas are great and there is plenty of room to relax. Spend two days here with one night in a nearby hotel.
David S — Google review
The service at reception isn't very friendly, it's almost robotic. People reserve their chairs all day with their towels and there's nowhere to sit, and I went on a weekday. The chairs that were unoccupied had bird poo on them. But the most incredible thing is that in a place with saunas, where people sweat and lose a lot of liquid, water is not offered as a courtesy, you have to buy mineral water. I've been to many places like this around the world and this is the first one where I can't find any water stations to rehydrate. In short, the place is very beautiful, but there's a lack of attention on those details.
Vinicius V — Google review
I came here as a day visitor for 3 consecutive days. The experience was most enjoyable. Be aware that this business is in the former East Germany and most of the people here did not learn English (or foreign languages) at school. Some of the younger staff and migrant staff working in the restraunt, did speak some English. This is a great place to have some chill time with friends or family.
Phil N — Google review
Very nice place. A perfect alternative to Spreewaldtherme, it doesn't have as many swimming places but it makes up for it with a wide arrange of saunas. The "rituals" are sometimes a bit over the top but fun and respectful anyway. I will definitely come back
Ignacio E — Google review
Made us pay inflation! We came here because we received two vouchers for packages for our wedding in summer 2022. Vouchers was valid till the end of 2025 and included a visit, massage and a drink. At the end we were told that same package costs now around 20-25€ more per person than it was in 2022, so we need to pay the difference. This information was new to us and not shared over the phone, or at the entrance. Big scam, reason to not come back. Overall reception was not friendly or cooperative. Overall good massage, good restaurant, nice saunas. Very old school and small but clean with friendly people (except the entrance)
Aleksandra B — Google review
The spa is the best in Brandenburg: overlooks the lake, has wildlife, outdoor saunas made with wood and stone, great aufguss treatments - and a restaurant which is quite nice… however… If you’re staying overnight, then the review takes a turn. There’s no WiFi, no sauna towels, and unlike the Google ad here: the breakfast is not free (although the views of the lake are magnificent)

Open-air museum detailing 19th century farm & village life, with guides in period clothing.
Great open air museum. We got a small activity workbook to work through with our child, which meant that it was the first time we could spend a good amount of time there. Just be careful getting to the village by car. Parking is limited.
Edwin G — Google review
Today we visited this Museum. It was really interesting. It’s not too big, but the last bit is currently shut as they are renewing a few things. There are some things for children to do. Stories are told in some of the houses. There are toilets inside, if needed.
Wendy P — Google review
A bit too small for the entry fee but as a student you get 1,50€ discount on regular 5,00 €. Even in the small venue, it shows the culture and lifestyle of then isolated community of Spreewald. You can even try some of the old wooden shoes and try washing clothes in the old north sorbic way. You can listen to how the language of the area used to be. I was excited to see, how the women used to cover their head and hairs some 50-60 years ago in western countries, and why the generations of same culture take the same thing from other cultures as questionable after just 50/60 years.

6 euro per adult, free for kids below 16. Parking is a bit expensive at 7 euro. Nice museum and kids friendly, but small, tops 1 h. Beautiful surroundings and definitely recommend a stop at the nearby biergarten. Beautiful walks and nice with canoes too. Cash only!

Tropical Islands

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Tropical Islands is a vast water park with accommodations like rooms and cottages, featuring an indoor rainforest and a lagoon. The Aquapark AMAZONIA offers outdoor heated pools, water slides, and Balinese beds for relaxation. Conference facilities are available for business events. Guests can enjoy various dining options on-site. While some visitors had issues with check-in, they found the park impressive with its diverse activities and natural elements like animals and plants.
We had a great stay, but yes they use too much chlorine in the water and since chlorine is a gas and is not trapped well in warm water the atmosphere is feeling heavy of chlorine. This is unfortunate. Having said that, we had a great stay. Not all the staff are polite as expected but the greatest majority are good. They are just not very confortable with English. The service was good however. We stayed at the sunrise houses and it was a great surprise. It was clean and very fresh, almost new even.
Martin L — Google review
It’s an incredible experience that I will never do again. The waterpark aspect is nice and huge, but every beach chair is taken by towels… You can change to swim wear in the dome but there are not enough closets for everyone and the ones that seem available are broken. Meaning the lock doesn’t work. The food is bad and the service to get the food is worse - it’s horrendous. They have hired just about 1 server per restaurant and they only speak German. Today our dinner restaurant at Ohana hotel where we stay, had run out of 2 food items, of 5 available, and ketchup. At least they said that they might have it tomorrow, but no guarantees. The room in Ohana is nice. And one elevator is broken so always a queue to get up to your room. You can buy a refill cup, that you can fill every 45 minutes, but there was always a queue and multiple times we experienced that drinks had run out or no ice… If you like regular quality food, then this is not for you. If you like good food, then Germany is not for you. So, all in all it’s an experience - not be repeated.

Tropical Islands - a place that will test if your team would survive on a deserted island. I came to Tropical Islands for two days with a group of 16 friends. I booked four tents (bookings were made simultaneously, from one account). Upon arrival, I discovered that two tents were in Zone 1, and two more in another one – about 5 minutes apart. It seemed absurd to split the group, but I decided it wasn't worth arguing about. Upon arriving at the tents, we discovered that one of our assigned tents was occupied by strangers, leaving my guests with nowhere to sleep. I spent approx. 1.5 hours at the reception desk discussing the situation, and the staff sent me from one employee to another, with no specific action. Each employee kept me waiting, without telling me how long or for what I was waiting for. The manager suggested moving one tent to Zone 1 and leaving the other four guests separately in Zone 2, or putting four people in a "house" in a completely different area from the rest of my guests. This would have meant we'd be housed in three different areas of the complex. We weren't given the option of moving all of us to the same area. The only comment from the staff was "we are overbooked, we can't do anything about it - you can write a complaint". When I asked ironicaly if I could give a one-star rating on Google Maps as compensation, the employee said yes. What I'm doing right now. After the argument, we were given a tent that leaked and was completely wet (pics attached). The staff told us, they don't have any protective foil and we had to deal with it by ourselves. When asked what kind of compensation we will receive for the inconvenience, wasted time, and ruined atmosphere, the employee said we could get 4 coctails vouchers. After commenting that there were definitely more of us and the whole group was now waiting and getting upset, the employee decided the problem was limited to one tent. Ultimately, we received 7 vouchers, which could only be used in the area outside the main water attractions. The worst customer service I've ever experienced. The entire complex advertises itself as an amusement park, although the attractions included in the ticket price are two swimming pools (one of which is a children's playground), four indoor water slides, one pool and one outdoor slide. During our stay, the outdoor water wasn't very warm. The outdoor slide didn't have enough water, and we stopped at every turn, having to push ourselves off the walls. The bar and food court, as well as most of the attractions, close at 10:00 PM – this isn't a place for adults looking to spend a pleasant evening, enjoy an exotic evening drink on the beach, dance, etc. If it weren't for the fact that I wasted a lot of time on Saturday arguing with the staff and having team-building activities planned for my guests for the evening, we would have left right after breakfast on the second day, as there was absolutely nothing to do for more than 4-5 hours. On the positive side, I came with fantastic people who organized themselves, made a great atmosphere and wanted to have fun together. Breakfast was also good. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it. The Polish Suntago is definitely more attractive, better organized, and has a wider variety of attractions for everyone and stuff is more pro-client.

We arrived at 6pm and waited in line for a little over 1hr to get checked in. Check in person was friendly but overwhelmed. We had to find our way around during our stay but it’s ok because my husband and my son are very good in memorizing the way. The frustration started when we wanted to check out. They have some check out machines that many people use to check out, but many of them are stuck because the machine won’t take the payment so in the end they can’t finish the self check out. After waiting and observing the situation, we decided to do check out at the counter. The person (a beautiful lady) told us how much to pay and I reached my wallet to pay to the cents with coins. This, apparently, created frustration for the beautiful lady and she had to shake her head while looking at what I was doing. VERY UNPOLITE, but also very German! Honestly, we had a great time at tropical island and in the end she had to ruin that experience. WHYYY???? I just don’t get it. But be prepared for this kind of customer service wherever you are when in Germany!

Impressive at first glance but we wouldn't come again. The initial impression is really cool, the jungle area and overall size of the dome is nice! But afterwards, you'll notice some things: - Food and service are absolutely horrible. We waited 10 minutes to be seated at a restaurant, and there was no one in front of us and the restaurant was basically empty. - Almost all arcade games and tables in the game area are just broken. Overall, our group agreed that it was a nice one time experience and maybe really cool for a single day stay with small children, but we wouldn't go there again.
Alexander M — Google review
The venue itself is genuinely beautiful and well-kept. The environment is immersive, clean, and provides a pleasant tropical atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the unique setting. Dining Disappointment: The food quality is poor. It mostly consists of low-quality frozen products sold at the price of normal, fresh meals. This is a significant drawback for a day-long visit. • Locker Trouble: The changing room situation was frustrating. Lockers for personal belongings are open and seemingly available, but are unusable, which causes inconvenience right at the start of the visit. • Service Hit-or-Miss: The staff attempts to be nice and polite, but the execution of good service is inconsistent. Their efforts are visible, but the helpfulness and efficiency vary.
Tomasz S — Google review
On balance a great experience enjoyed by us all. Would advise an overnight stay, as facilities can be used prior both check-in and check-out. Arriving around 17:00 ~ albeit in November ~ using the QR code meant little or no delay, leaving time for the pools and water-slides prior the buffet dinner. Likewise with an early start we were able to use many of the facilities ahead of the day-trippers before a buffet breakfast. An imaginative way of using a remarkable historic building, and an interesting contrast to the autumn weather beyond! Our only criticism stems from using the regional railway service to arrive (30 mins delay) and depart (120 mins delay)... maybe the trains ran on schedule back in the day?
Colin H — Google review
It was the most horrible experience. We arrived at 11:30, none of the lockers were locked. We tried dozens of lockers. We, like many other people, had to leave our things in an open locker. Or we had to carry everything with us. We were with three small children, so carrying everything with us was not an option. The air and water inside were not warm enough, everyone was freezing, both the children and us. Very few hair dryers. Finally, when we were leaving, I accidentally noticed the extra 10, 15 and 25 euros. When I asked the cashier what it was for, he said that it was for the bracelet that closes the locker, 2.50 euros and he didn't know anything more. He sent us to the information desk and didn't want to solve the problem. The information desk showed that it was a charge for our numerous attempts to close the locker. Of course they took 50 euros from us, but we spent a lot of time arguing and our tired children barely survived the whole time. I can only imagine how many people didn't notice and just paid whatever they were charged. And for all this terrible service we paid 200 euros and an additional 100 euros for food (only for two adults and three small children under 5 years old).

East Side Gallery

Memorial
Sights & Landmarks
The East Side Gallery is a preserved graffiti project covering a 1,316m-long remnant of the Berlin Wall in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. It celebrates the fall of the wall and features around 100 graffiti paintings by artists from all over the world.
A little way from the main tourist attractions, it’s a pleasant walk along the river Spree to see the longest remaining part of the Berlin Wall. 1.3 km in length, decorated by over 100 artists with short information boards along the way. Here you get a feel of what a divided city this was. Only the 3.6 m inner wall remains but add the boundary signal fence, 3m border fence and a watchtower every 600 meters to appreciate how separate both sides must have felt.
Linda — Google review
I had to visit this place for my 3 days in Berlin and it didn't disappoint! Iconic to Berlin. Some are a trip and some I didn't get, but if you run into those you can walk right past to a new piece. Information on the artists is listed in front of the artwork. Super cool. I went solo I don't think I would want to go as a group by going solo you can spend time enjoying the parts you like and take it at your own pace.
James Y — Google review
An iconic open-air gallery full of history, emotion, and creativity. Each mural tells a unique story — from freedom and unity to peace and hope. Walking along the wall is both thought-provoking and inspiring. A must-visit in Berlin for anyone who wants to feel the city’s soul through art.

East Side Gallery – An iconic open-air landmark An absolutely iconic spot. It’s the longest preserved section of the Berlin Wall, stretching for about 1.5 km along the riverbank. Essentially, it’s an open-air museum showcasing creative, impactful, and often thought-provoking wall art from various artists. It’s definitely worth a visit, as it gives you a strong sense of what the divided city once looked and felt like. The artworks are unique, symbolic, and visually striking. It's also a great place for those classic “Berlin” hype photos. Many murals even include QR codes that provide background information about each piece. A small warning: the area is very busy and there are quite a few pickpockets around. Just keep an eye on your belongings so that this otherwise great experience isn’t spoiled. Overall, a must-see in Berlin.
Christos S — Google review
The East Side Gallery offers a wonderful walking experience filled with vibrant, amazing murals that vividly capture the history and spirit of Berlin. The artwork not only celebrates freedom but also includes clean, powerful graffiti that traces the story of the Berlin Wall dividing East and West Germany.Beyond the murals, the park behind the wall provides a peaceful and picturesque spot to relax after the walk, making the entire visit both culturally enriching and refreshing. It’s a must-see for anyone interested in history, art, and the unique atmosphere of Berlin.

As the history of Berlin is very dictated by the wall that separated it, very good to see it and easy to imagine how it would feel for the people living in the same city but separated from this giand wall. Also i liked that in the park nearby was a lot a people who were chilling, playing and having fun 🌞
Valdrin A — Google review
It was amazing to see the Berlin Wall up close, covered in murals that are not just beautiful but also carry powerful messages. For me it had historic moments to things that still feel relevant today. The walk isn’t too long, and every few steps there’s another piece of art that makes you stop and think. Definitely worth visiting.
Nabeel Z — Google review
I really enjoyed looking across at all the art and little tags locals and others had made on the wall, took plenty of photos. One thing that did irritate me slightly was the amount of attention the picture of the two men kissing got was ridiculous, also it was so crowded at this specific picture that it was almost impossible to take a photo of it and even walk past it, people by this specific picture were also very rude pushing others out of the way. It really upsets me because so many of the other pictures barely had any attention when I would argue there were so much nicer than the one stated above

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.
We came during the Festival of Lights. They put on a nice show like they do every year. Really enjoyed this years show. We had great weather which was fantastic. Look forward to going next year again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Very beautiful cathedral. Once you buy your ticket you can enter and walk around inside. You can also walk up approximately 265 steps to gonto the outdoor observation deck. Great, far reaching views of the city. The cathedral has some scaffolding over some parts at this time.

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.
Josh H — Google review
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. The details are so beautiful that you can spend hours just admiring them. You can also climb to the top — the view of Berlin from up there is amazing! Definitely a must-visit spot if you’re exploring the city.

This magnificent cathedral, constructed between 1894 and 1905, welcomes visitors to explore its stunning interior through self-guided tours. Rich in history and architectural beauty, it’s a must-see destination for anyone who appreciates historic churches and timeless craftsmanship.
Stephen A — Google review
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!

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. Apparently it is gradually getting under construction section after another section, unfortunately I missed some important parts due to the reconstruction work, later on I had to check the missing parts on the original video & virtual tour of the museum.

One can easily spend more than 2 hours here if interested. The collection is huge and enormous. Definitely one of the largest museums.The audio guide is very well designed. The Mesopotamian, Babylonian and Islamic collections are incredible. 12 euros for direct ticket bought at the museum. Online booking in advance could help.

A must visit museum in Berlin. Museum has so much collection of historical antique items. Ishtar gate is the main attraction and it's beautiful and huge. Also the Roman market fascade is huge and it's well preserved in museum. Audio guide helps in getting the information easily about all the artifacts. Very much recommended museum in Berlin.

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.

We did no wait because we had purchased the tickets online, but for ticket sale the line was about two hours long(on a Tuesday in the middle of the day). The museum is incredibly constructed and truly remarkable! Very full indeed though. Still, worth a visit while in Berlin.

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!

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.

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

Mentioned on

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

★★★★★ 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.

The Brandenburg Gate is an 18th-century landmark in Berlin, featuring 12 Doric columns topped by a classical goddess statue. It holds great historical significance as a symbol of German reunification and was once off-limits to both West and East Germans during the Cold War era.
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.

Perfect place for amazing photos, evening walks, and soaking in Berlin’s rich culture. Definitely a must-visit in Germany! ✨

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
