The 49 best unusual things to do in Berlin

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 🌞

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.

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

Mauerpark is the perfect Berlin Sunday experience. The famous flea market was in full swing when I visited — stalls packed with vintage clothes, vinyl, art, handmade jewellery, and plenty of street food options. It’s busy, but not overwhelming, and it has that creative, free-spirited vibe Berlin does so well. What really stood out is that even with the markets on, the park itself still has plenty of space. You can step away from the crowd into open green areas to picnic, relax, or just people-watch. Musicians, performers, and random jam sessions pop up everywhere, so there’s always a soundtrack as you wander. The mix of locals and travellers makes it feel welcoming, and you get that authentic “community meets culture” vibe. Whether you’re there for treasure hunting at the stalls, catching some live music, or just lying on the grass soaking up the atmosphere, it’s a must-visit. Tip: go earlier if you want to explore the market without rushing, then spend the afternoon chilling in the park. Bring cash, an appetite, and time to really take it all in.

Iconic place where many Berliners and tourists come together! Prices have gone up, but in general it feels also more organized. The flea market has bargains as well as high quality and costly fashion. What can be annoying sometimes is that it can be noisy from street artists, so talking and chilling is difficult. Easy to reach by public transport!

Mauerpark is a vibrant spot in Berlin, perfect for a relaxed day out. I loved the lively Sunday flea market, street food, and the famous bearpit karaoke. The park has a creative vibe with graffiti walls, music, and a friendly crowd. Great place to hang out, especially on weekends!

Fantastic morning here! Great for vintage and thrift lovers. Only suggestion, steer clear of the guy selling falafel, awful stuff. Everything else fab

Very special place to spend the Sunday. The flea market is massive and the whole place is full of cultural expression. There is a massive grass area to sit and rest alongside friends&family.

The park is really nice , the market in self on sunday is good : nothing special on my opion a lot of old stuff or no sense things . The street food is decent and the prices are fine . It’s nice to spent few hours no more

What a great place to hang out. So many people having a great time; so much to see, hear and do. Take your pick!!

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.

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.

Great piece of modern history. There is usually a large crowd gathered and not all are there to have their picture taken so down be afraid to ask and go and have your pic taken elsewhere you will be stood there all day.

An iconic historical site in Berlin. Standing here really brings Cold War history to life—definitely worth a quick visit! Standing at this historic border crossing really makes you reflect on how divided the world once was.

The best way to feel the summer in Berlin! 🌞 A pool floating on the River Spree 💙absolutely spectacular! I couldn’t believe I was swimming and sunbathing like this… right in the middle of Berlin. Located in vibrant Kreuzberg, I got there on foot, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The vibe is laid-back and summery, perfect for a relaxing break in the city. Make sure to book your slot in advance (around €8 for 2 hours) 😉it’s totally worth it. The area is spacious, with a beach bar atmosphere, food and drink service, and beautiful views of the Spree, with the Molecule Man sculpture in the background. After a mandatory shower, you can dive into the refreshing 23°C water. The pool is up to 2 meters deep, but has shallower edges for more comfortable swimming and lounging. In case you wanna take public transport: The nearest S‑Bahn station is Treptower Park, about an 8-minute walk away. You can also take a bus to Heckmannufer, just 5 minutes from the venue. I absolutely loved it. A unique summer experience in Berlin ☀️would go again in a heartbeat! 🏊🏼‍♀️

Highly Regulated and Not So Fun: If you're looking for a relaxing day at the pool, this isn't it. This place feels less like a fun day out and more like a highly regulated, bureaucratic "German experience." While the pool itself is impressive, the strict rules and a frustrating booking process take all the enjoyment away. The biggest issue is the extremely limited access. You can only purchase tickets online exactly two days in advance, and you're locked into a rigid 1.5-hour time slot. If you're hoping to swim more than that, you're out of luck. The system is so strict that you can't even enter before your designated time. Once you're finally in, you'll find even more restrictions. The water is surprisingly cold, and you're not allowed to take photos from the pool deck—for no stated reason. It feels like they've gone out of their way to make the entire experience as restrictive as possible. Overall, the beautiful pool is completely overshadowed by the complex rules and lack of flexibility. It's a shame, because it could be a great place. But in its current state, it's simply not worth the hassle.

Pool is cold but water quality is great! A bit sad they don’t let you bring in your water bottle so you can’t drink after a few laps in the pool…

Expensive !!!!! I can understand how after corona they understood how much money they can make when they limit the time . But 8€ for 2 hours !?!?( I would make it 4 hours stay minimum ) That's not cool . Besides it's great location and super lovely it's on the spree. Could see how as a privet events location it's amazing. Drinks are regular Berlin 2025 prices . Letting people bring their own water should be allowed in summer it's hot and it's important to stay hydrated

Brilliant day out in Berlin! Enjoyed the pool, was cold but great to cool off in the sun. Excellent value at €8 for a two hour slot. Book your slot in advance. No drinks allowed to be taken in but there’s a bar with all drinks and food available. It was a lot bigger than we thought, with a hammock area, plenty deck chairs and sand, like a beach to sunbathe. Would recommend to anyone going to Berlin who likes swimming or a one off experience! X

Among all the outdoor pools this is the cleanest and least loud I’ve been to in Berlin. Make sure to book in advance, and highly recommend going during a weekday up to 17.30 as it might be tricky to find a seat afterwords.

The pool was interesting to look at. German sensibility regarding clothing/attire at pools is very different and worth knowing about if you are considering bringing children here.

What an amazing historical place. Loved the street art and the guided tour all the way up to the top. Great view included. Admission fee justified to maintain the place.

ART EVERYWHERE! TOTALLY AMAZING PLACE CLOSE TO BERLIN! YOU NEED TO VISIT! PARKING IS FREE ENTRANCE FOR 10 EUROS! YOU CAN BUY SOME SNACK AND COFFEE THERE! AND YOU CAN CREAT LOT OF AWESOME PHOTOGRAPHS HERE!

We booked tickets for an 11:00 opening and were delighted with how much street art is crammed in, and the juxtaposition of the abandoned radar domes, green forest and counter-culture art. We’re from Bristol, the home of Banksy, and have enjoyed tours in areas renown for street art from Melbourne to New York, but this will be one of the most memorable. €12 isn’t unreasonable to contribute to the upkeep, and in the first slot it wasn’t too busy. There are some delightful large pieces as well as areas of paste up and small art. Well worth the visit!

The place itself is fascinating, a unique mix of urban decay, graffiti, and panoramic views over Berlin. But our visit at the end of July was a deep disappointment due to poor communication and unprofessional handling of a problem. We came specifically for the Declassified exhibition, which was clearly advertised on the official website and included in the admission fee. After paying full admission, we discovered inside that the exhibition was closed, with no prior notice online or at the entrance. We went back to the cashier, who didn’t even know it was closed. She had to make a phone call, after which she simply said: “It’s closed today,” offering no explanation, apology, or compensation. I contacted the organization the same day and was kindly offered a refund. I replied immediately with my bank details and a bank-confirmed proof of payment, and explained, openly and reasonably, that I no longer had the paper receipt. Then came three weeks of silence. When I followed up, I was told that a refund was not possible without the receipt, even though the payment confirmation I had sent was official, clear, and more precise than any paper ticket. Together with the confusion and lack of accountability on site, it only adds to the impression of poor organization and missing professionalism.

One of the most interesting places I visited on my trip to Berlin. Teufelsberg is an old field station that is now a public street art gallery. You can go up to the highest building and see very good views of Berlin. Every corner of this place has it's own story. It's a long hike trough the forest to get to Teufelsberg, but totally worth it. The entrance is about 12 €.

If you’re looking for a short hike through the forest, Teufelsberg is a great choice. The 4–5 km walk rewards you with beautiful views from the top. Just watch out for mosquitoes—they can be a bit of a nuisance.

since 2022- becoming more formal amd organized, also costs 12€ now, but still have a terrific vibe, lots of talented artwork, and the same history- with much more detail explained in new corridors and signage. the drink offerings and bathrooms are much improved over past years and it is still a destination I suggest to everyone who visits Berlin!

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.

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. I visited in the morning and the colonnade with its garden and sculptures was open and free to enter. It’s a good spot to learn, explore, and spend a few hours.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising five major museums on one island. It’s a great place to stroll round and soak up the atmosphere even if you don’t visit a Museum. Lots of building works but still an enjoyable experience.

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. It was also astonishingly clean although it is full of tourists all the time. You will need to be extra cautious in this area. Beware of people who make who sign on a form to support children and then ask for money. Don't fall for them.

Just an incredible area to visit the architecture of the buildings is amazing, wide open roads and pavements gives an impression of spaciousness and grandeur

In Berlin has a lot of museums, I recommend this because has an important arts Nefertiti queen, wife of Pharaoh.

I booked the guided tour on a weekend which costed 5 euros, I thought it was a good value and had high expectations for it since I am really interested in lost and abandoned places. Unfortunately currently there is nothing much to see since most of the attractions have been dismantled and carried away. Our guide tried her best to explain the history of the park and what is planned for the future. Overall, I felt that it was a bit boring

This location is definitely worth checking out when it reopens, as it boasts a promising and exciting atmosphere that's hard to beat. With its stunning view and prime location right on the river, it's no wonder that so many people are eagerly anticipating its return. Whether you're looking to relax and soak in the scenery or enjoy some outdoor activities, this place has something for everyone. Plus, with its proximity to the river, there are endless opportunities for water sports, fishing, and other aquatic activities. Overall, it's a fantastic location that's sure to impress with its beauty and potential for fun and excitement. So, if you're looking for a great spot to spend some time in the great outdoors, be sure to keep this location on your radar and check it out when it reopens. You won't be disappointed!

The park is abandoned and closed. The perimeter is nice to click photos and take a walk. There is a guided tour available if you want to see it from inside. Do not try to enter the park it is guarded by dogs

An interesting walk around the perimeter fence but not much more. There’s visible guards, with dogs, walking the grounds but to be honest I don’t think you need to chance your luck here. The views of the Ferris wheel, which is still moving, are good and you see glimpses of the rollercoaster and the water slide still.

Agreeing with recent reviews: they tore down everything including the wheel. It costs 10€ for two people and you don’t get to see anything. Tourguide keeps taking their mask off and speaking very quietly. Good that I have seen it now, but I would not recommend it to anyone. There is nothing to see. Look at picture online and come back in 5 years instead ! Kinda a scam now to ask for money for a 70 minute walk through a normal parc with some contrete mixed in!

It used to be a great park and must-see in Berlin until they tore down everything. It's not worth the visit anymore, unfortunately. Please make an effort and restore it! At least for the nostalgia of adults who enjoyed it while growing up and the immense historical value for children.

It's an abandoned amusement park that you're not allowed to enter (although we did see some people who had broken in). The park is now owned by the local government and they have really stepped up security over recent years. You can do guided tours on weekends for €5 pp but tickets sell out fast!!! My photos were taken on the outside of the fence!

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. 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.

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.

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.

Absolutely free and very well-equipped with educational materials. Must visit for history lovers. Excellent location in the city centre with the remainings of Berlin wall in its yard.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Visited during my city break in Berlin. If you are a nerd and also want to gain more insight about how different the life was on the other side of the wall, it’s a must-go place. The prices are fair, and they also offer discounts for students, even international students! Besides this, the museum is really nice, with a Trabant, a prison cell, an elevator and a real-scale apartment full of things from that era. I would love to revisit this place

A truly fascinating and immersive museum in Berlin. The DDR Museum brings history to life with interactive exhibits that allow you to not just see but also experience daily life in former East Germany. From reconstructed living rooms and kitchens to authentic Trabant cars you can sit inside, everything feels tangible and engaging. My children especially enjoyed the hands-on exhibits — typing on an old typewriter, exploring a recreated apartment, and even experiencing the classroom environment. What makes this museum stand out is the combination of education and fun. It’s not just reading information panels — you get to touch, feel, and step into history. Perfect for families, history enthusiasts, and anyone curious about how people lived under the DDR. Highly recommended as one of the must-visit museums in Berlin.

The DDR Museum tells you its history and mostly about people and their way of life, culture, food, activities, careers, lifestyle, and entertainment. However they do not sugarcoat the things that the government did to their own people. People had what a basic person should have like universal health care, shelter, employment, and food but it’s also important to note that spying on people and locking them up is not a good thing. Here’s what we liked about the museum: • Interactive • wheelchair friendly • The ticket is not too overpriced • A lot of objects to see and touch at the same time like the typewriter • Many different rooms to see like the prison and the apartment Here’s what we didn’t like: • The space is way too small meanwhile having a bunch of visitors crammed into the museum. -1 • No shed outside the museum just in case it rains. • No time slots, you just buy your ticket and then go inside and be one of the crowded visitors -1 Before you go: • Book your tickets in advance • Bring an umbrella before you go • Don’t bring luggages and cumbersome bags, their lockers get occupied so fast or the visitors haven’t left the museum yet • the Museum is too small which means a stroller might be in the way.

Interesting museum with tons of soviet era memorabilia. The large format displays of housing and cars are particularly well done and informative. Gets VERY crowded they need a bigger space. In true Soviet fashion they are good about ignoring things they dont want to exist, like the flu and Covid. Nearly all the small displays are in cabinets or drawers that you and your hundreds of friends will need to open by hand.

It's so cool because it gives you a really hands-on look at what life was like in East Germany (the DDR). You can touch everything and really feel like you're stepping back in time. It's super engaging and a totally fun way to learn history!

Nice museum for everyone as it gives both deep and succinct explanations. Some parts are even interactive in a useful way! The entrance fee is not cheap, but you’ll stay for a while if your goal is to get every bit of knowledge out of it. It has some nice reconstrustitutions of households under the DDR as well.

Amazing! I didn’t manage to see all the expositions but what I managed for 2 hours was amazing! A great collection of artifacts and history and it’s also quite interactive. I highly recommend it! And for those who likes museums, it may take up to 3-4 hours, 2 was definitely not enough!

Would definitely recommend to go to this market! They had all types of foods to choose from. I got the Mac n cheese which was so good! The margarita pizza was also good!

Markthalle Neun is definitely one of those places that captures the real, vibrant energy of Kreuzberg. It's an old market hall, beautifully restored, and it pulses with a modern-day foodie vibe. Whenever I visit, I’m struck by the sheer variety: from artisanal cheeses and craft beers to street food from all corners of the world, there’s always something new to try. It feels like a genuine community hub, not just a tourist trap, even though it draws plenty of visitors.The atmosphere is fantastic — buzzing with conversation, the clinking of glasses, and the smells of delicious food. It’s the perfect spot to spend a few hours grazing, sharing plates with friends, or just soaking up the lively scene. You'll find everything from fresh produce stands to specialized coffee roasters, making it a great place to pick up unique local goods.Now, a small personal observation: if you're someone who likes a traditional soda with your meal, you might be a bit surprised. I’ve noticed a lack of standard cola options like Pepsi or Coca-Cola. It seems they lean heavily into artisanal drinks, local lemonades, and craft sodas, which aligns with their overall philosophy of local and unique products. While it’s certainly an interesting approach and fits the "conscious consumer" vibe, sometimes you just crave a classic. So, if a traditional cola is a must-have for you, keep that in mind and perhaps grab one beforehand.Despite that minor point, Markthalle Neun remains a firm favorite. It’s a celebration of good food, community, and the dynamic spirit of Berlin. Whether you’re going for a full meal or just to explore, it’s an experience that feels genuinely local and incredibly rich.

A handsome, historic market hall in Kreuzberg with a strong food culture focus, Markthalle Neun brings together independent vendors, workshops, and rotating events in a lively setting. The big draw is Street Food Thursday—Germany’s pioneering weekly street-food market—when the hall buzzes with aromas, music, and plenty of choice from early evening into the night. Expect regional and artisanal products throughout the week, plus wine, coffee, and specialty counters that make browsing fun. On peak nights it’s very lively and seating can be scarce, so it’s worth timing your visit; quieter weekday afternoons showcase the space and stalls at a gentler pace. Overall, a good stop for curious eaters who enjoy browsing, with the experience shining most when you catch it at the right moment

Visited during street food Thursdays a few times and it’s always a fun affair. Been to a bunch of the stalls but there’s so many more I haven’t tried. The place is full of rich and enticing aromas so just follow your nose on a worldly adventure. Worth a trip over to sip wine or a cocktail while you eat yummy oysters, Turkish pizza, fufu, and whatever else your heart desires. They have pretty much everything in that market. Washrooms could be cleaned and restocked more. There was no soap and the tap only gives you a trickle of water. This was ~4:30pm when I last visited.

What a experience! We ate a lot and we Tried everything! The market is clean and very well organized, the food is good as the service. The quality of food makes the diffrence. The area is very diverse. P.s. pay attention outside the nearest underground station! There's a lot of drug addicts they stop you to consume and sell.. One of our friends step into a syringe

Really cool place to try street food on Thursdays. The highlight there is the cheese festival. It is definitely a must visit in Berlin..however, the cost has doubled from last year which made it too expensive. The place itself is big but can get super crowded. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great.

A pretty local market with fresh food, flowers, bread, and sausages! I truly enjoyed my time looking around trying little bit of everything! Locals also came for lunch having wine, burgers, and other food. There is a little seating area by the bread store ◡̈

Awesome shrine for The Hoff. Not the easiest place to find. Its in the basement of a hostel reseption. Anyway, a worth visit place to spend few minutes.

I visited the David Hasselhoff Museum located in the basement of the Circus Hostel and found it quirky and fun. The collection is very small, just a few memorabilia items, photos and references to “The Hoff” and his Berlin connection. It’s free to enter, which makes it worth a quick stop. On the other hand, don’t expect a large, formal museum experience. Signage is minimal and you might need to ask at reception to be shown the way

Overflowing with testosterone! If you’re in the area, swing by—it’s free and you’ll be done in five minutes flat. A quick dose of Berlin history!

First off, it’s TINY, and it’s in the basement of the Circus Hostel. Ask the person at reception and they will guide you to the area. Very very nice staff. It is of course free but I am definitely glad I went. An homage to The Hoff! How could you not love it. I would definitely go back again but just be warned it’s probably ten meters of memorabilia in a tube.

Life changing experience for my Scottish friend who said "before I turn 50 I need to go to Berlin and see the Hasselhoff Museum". She trekked from the Highlands of Scotland, walked over an hour in 27 degree heat, and when she arrived? She was speechless. She was stunned. She was overwhelmed by the testosterone and the manliness. In fact, she would build the Berlin wall again, just for Hoff to come back again. She has since gone mute from absolute elation. We know she's still alive because she's blinking. Thank you Hoff. Thank you Germany.

After a depressing day at the Stasi museum a visit to the Hoff shrine was just what we needed

Probably more of a shrine than a museum. It is situated inside the circus hostel down the stairs. Some great facts and articles on the Hoff. Free to enter.

Really cute cool place with lots of food and drink options!!! And a little play park for kids. Pretty view of the river and lots of places to sit :)

Very nice & unique place. Close to the river. In the summer it gets pretty full but it has many nice hidden seating corners. Different spots where to get food or drinks. Cool hidden gems like this small statue on the picture or a telephone box with music. :)

One of my favourite places that we visited in Berlin- very on brand with its surroundings. Think grungy river-side market with a bar that opens in the evening. Would highly recommend the tea stall (some of the teas come from his garden in Sri Lanka), and the salmon sandwich stall.

Love this place. Holzmarkt 25 is far more than just a gathering spot—it’s an urban wonderland where Berlin’s creative soul flourishes along the Spree River. Once the clandestine site of the legendary Bar25 club, this community-driven village fuses art, music, sustainability, and alternative culture in a way unlike anywhere else in the city. A perfect spot for chilling by the River Spree.

Nice little market with a lot of original and handmade stuff. I don’t get why it costs 3€ to enter it, even if for some reason I didn’t have to pay this fee. Only four star for the poor fish stuck in this ridiculously small pond

Very lively vibe, it is full of energy and people. It is quite crowded, but worth a visit. There is a playground for children and plenty of drinks and food options. But you should be prepared to wait in line for a long time.

Awesome place. Cool vibe, good beer- also alcohol free. Good place to chill and feel real atmosphere of Berlin. At evening looks magical with all tiny lights on.

This place was pretty cool - stylish and modern which I enjoyed, the way to do an in city spa. Me and my friends easily spent 2.5 hours. The music pool was cool, just wish it was clothing optional. The beer from the bar was good! The sauna area is visible to the clothed area/bar which is different but its not a big deal, most visitors were going to the sauna area naked at some point so we’re all in it together. The outdoor pool in the middle was interesting because it was half clothed and half naked, bridging the two areas. Definitely a unique spa! My only complaint is the sauna area and outdoor pool are pretty small. If it was larger, this would be 10/10

Hadn't booked but turned up on spec and it wasn't too busy. Large pool is very relaxing. There is ambient music playing and some lights but nothing too manic. You have to wear a swimsuit in this pool. Smaller pool and the seats around it are textile optional. Saunas are textile free. Felt safe and not uncomfortable at all although I didn't go into the sauna. Cost of 2 hours thermal spa and sauna use is about €30 and hire of towel, bathrobe and flip-flops was about another €10. You can pay extra for a massage but you would be advised to book this.

During the day the way the spaces are designed really doesn’t hold up. There’s no proper separation between the sauna area and the main pool, so everything blends together and the atmosphere gets lost. The saunas are uncomfortably bright, more like sitting in a lit room than a calming space. The pool looks good on the surface, but beyond that the place feels pretty overhyped & overrated.

The place is very nice and welcomes you with its eerie black locker room. All your valuables will be stored (and your Phone - get rid of that!) in exchange for a nice wristband chip. That allows buying drinks and food at the fancy bar and open the doors to the (extra booked) sauna. Using the gates you will get the first lesson in patience. It takes 3seconds to open. Breathe and enjoy the break. The big pool is beautiful an allows floating with salt content and pool noodles. The real highlight is the sauna area though! Four different hot spaces and foot bath and cold dip await you. One is a steam room, two is a salt lamp sauna and three and four are hot saunas with nice wooden seats. Keep your body on a towel! Even your feet and back, else the attentive sauna personnel will inform you of it. „Kein Schweiß aufs Holz! - bitte Handtuch komplett unterlegen“ My suggested translation would be „No sweat onto the Wood - please cover the whole bench completely“. Once you know how to put a towel under your feet, you are ready to join the (every full) hourly „Aufgüsse“. With different themes of smells, salt or honey rubs you get the full wellness treatment for your skin and respiratory system. When Andi does them, you are in for a special treat. I highly recommend going, and on a weekend or holiday make sure to reserve your stay beforehand.

Good but probably better to visit during the week. Small bathing and sauna complex along with smaller sized saunas. Definitely has more of a chill vibe than some of the other ones we've been to which makes this place stand out. Suggest you book a reservation just to ensure you will get in when you want to. The sauna area is textile free whereas the bathing area is more of a mix. In the sound pool (love the echo), swimwear is required, in all others, it's your choice. Not sure why it's like this. Seemed a bit weird to me seeing both at the same time in the outdoor hot tub:) The sauna ceremonies were amazing! We even pushed our departure so that we could have one more. First time we've experienced ones that include group cool downs, either as a quick break or once finished. The sauna master that evening was the highlight of our visit! One thing, two other guests tried swiping our rented towels from their hooks, despite being under our bathrobes. This happened within a few minutes of being in the sauna area. They claimed their's were taken and then I overheard them say they would just go and take someone else's as they walked away! If you get a bathrobe, try adding a handkerchief or something to it to make it stand out to minimize the chance of someone taking it by accident. In any case, would come back here for sure!

Highly recommend if you have never been to a floating underwater music pool with lights. It was so relaxing and immersive. I could float for a long time just listening to the music. The reception staff was very nice to us (2 non-german English speakers who arrived very late at 11pm). Sauna is a bit small but overall a must try experience.

The pool is very nice. The place seemed clean. But I would not recommend it as a woman honestly. The 90% of the place was men, I get it, of course men should have a place to unwind, too. But the attitude of the men inside was just nasty. My partner caught a person watching me shower after sauna from inside one of the saunas. The other women inside also seemed uncomfortable to be there due to that fact that most of the men were there to watch and stare. This is not what you expect from a Berlin spa that requires you to be naked half the time you are there, right? Additionally, the sauna person had an attitude that didn't go well with the idea of wellness. You could see that they were tired, it's late on a Sunday but this is also not the customers problem, right? If you want to have a very commercial experience where men look at you like they wanna eat you, definitely go for it.

Can’t tell much about the street art , although I was able to see some nice ones a weird man started to follow me so I just didn’t felt safe. Beware girls!!!

(Translated by Google) The senses of this public space and its significant or most significant places can be perfectly described with a quote from the artist icon - Banksy: “If you say something and you want people to listen, you have to wear a mask. If you want to be honest, you have to live a lie.” It's hardly possible to add more meaning, but you should (be able to) allow yourself to tense up a bit in order not only to recognize the first level of meaning, but also to explore the second level and then only reach the full truth on the third level experience. (Original) Die Sinnen dieses öffentlichen Platzes und seiner bedeutenden beziehungsweise auch bedeutsamsten Stellen können perfekt mit einem Zitat von dem Künstler-Icon — Banksy — beschrieben werden: „Wenn du etwas sagst und willst, dass die Leute zuhören, musst du eine Maske tragen. Wenn du ehrlich sein willst, musst du eine Lüge leben.“ Mehr Sinn hinzuzufügen ist schon kaum möglich, aber man sollte sich ein bisschen verspannen lassen (können), um nicht nur die erste Ebene der Bedeutung zu erkennen, sondern auch die zweite Stufe zu erkunden und dann nur noch auf dem dritten Boden die volle Wahrheit zu erfahren.

Very nice street art, but somewhat difficult to find everything...

(Translated by Google) Absolutely (Original) Unbedingt

(Translated by Google) Worth seeing. The artworks aren't far from each other. It would be helpful, however, if there were directions to see where the artists left their mark. I couldn't find some of the pieces that are shown online. (Original) Sehenswert. Die Motive sind auch nicht weit von einander entfernt. Schön wäre es aber wenn es eine Wegbeschreibung gäbe um zu sehen wo sich die Künstler verewigt haben. Denn einige Kunstwerke, die im Internet zu sehen sind, habe ich nicht gefunden.

(Translated by Google) The whole street is covered in street art. I recommend going on both sides. Lots of interesting things. (Original) Вся улица в стрит-арте. Рекомендую пройти по две стороны. Много интересного.

(Translated by Google) Nice neighborhood (Original) Leuke wijk

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.

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.

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 free, open-air memorial is definitely worth a visit. Its thought provoking and very interesting. I particularly liked the viewing platform where you get a real feel of what the wall was like. Also, this was not crowded at all.

Incredible place to understand Germany's history especially when there was an East & West Berlin. The lives that these people lived during that era and the atrocities faced, is very fascinating to learn about

Take the walk and visit each section. There are remnants of the wall, structures and the steel supports still standing. Along the way are information plaques and pictures that provide more historical information. It’s somber to see and think about those impacted at the time. Worth the visit.

Visiting the Berlin Wall was a moving experience. I spent an hour or so walking its length, reading the stories, and reflecting. It is a powerful memorial, honoring the resilience and struggles of the people of both East and West Berlin.

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.

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.

This was definitely on my must see locations during my visit to Berlin being a huge U2 fan. The column is fantastic and the roundabout it is set in can only be accessed by underground walk way. Please note the admission fee (€4.50 for an adult) can only be paid in cash no cards accepted. Small museum available on bottom floor before the many steps to the top of the column spectacular views from the top!

This was an excellent visit. You gain access via an underpass. The column is magnificent to see and study, great details. There is an entrance fee and I bought a guide book so I could be informed better. It is a spiral staircase getting narrower at the top. It is something like 270 steps to the top but there are seats for a rest. Once up the top you get a fantastic view even on a grey day. I found the story that this column was moved from it's original location quite incredible. It also survived the wars which is amazing. Well worth a visit just take your time climbing and have a rest if you need one.

Really amazing. I can absolutely recommend it for tourists and non-tourist as I was able to bring my boyfriend who lives here to come visit even he was pleasantly surprised by the view and were showing me a different parts of the city. We came a little before sunset which was just luck. We did not plan it and we’re pretty impressed by the little museum that was at the bottom.

Great views on a blue sky day in autumn. 4.50 euro entry fee. Worth the climb but small space at the top as you'd expect

Berlin Victory Column – “Goldelse” The golden angel of Berlin, built to honor Prussia’s victories and the spirit of endurance. Power, pride, and echoes of history — all in one place. History doesn’t whisper here — it stands tall

The column costs €4.50 to climb to the top of. It's cash only. The staircase is something like 285 steps, but there are regular landings and small benches on the way up. There are also some informational exhibits on the ground floor. The column is in the middle of a large roundabout. Use the access tunnels to get to it.

Today they were only taking cash so we could not go inside and up the tower. I'm not sure if this is always the case or not, the website did not mention it. It is a beautiful sight from the base and the street from very far away. It is easy to get to.

Tempelhofer Feld is one of those truly unique urban spaces that captures the spirit of Berlin perfectly. Once an airport, now transformed into a massive open park, it offers a refreshing and spacious escape from the city’s buzz — and yet it’s right in the heart of it. It’s the perfect place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon or to meet up with friends any day of the week. Whether you’re into cycling, skating, jogging, flying kites, or simply lying in the grass and enjoying the open sky, this place has it all. The scale of it alone is impressive — wide runways turned into tracks for anything on wheels, endless green areas for picnics or casual hangouts, and always a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere. You can rent electric bikes, grab an ice cream or a drink from one of the small stands, or bring your own picnic and find your perfect spot. It’s clean, spacious, relaxed, and full of life — but never overcrowded. What makes it really special is the Berlin vibe: casual, creative, unpretentious. It’s not a typical tourist attraction, but definitely something you shouldn’t miss — a place that shows a different, more local side of the city. Tempelhofer Feld is not just a park, it’s an experience — and one that very few cities in the world can offer. Definitely worth a visit!

Highly interesting Tour «Myths of Tempelhof« in English. It is quite a walk through that huge building. But we saw the historic airport structures and the airfield from unexpected angles and viewpoints. Our fantastic Tour guide shared a lot of facts but left enough time for requests and pics along the Tour. In two hours packed with amazing walk & talk we travelled through nine decades of Berlins history.

Tempelhof is a fantastic multi-purpose, physical activity space, especially on a sunny day. Riding my bike freely across the vast open areas was incredibly refreshing and peaceful, far from city traffic. The park offers something for everyone, from sports to relaxation, making it a perfect urban escape. I highly recommend visiting to enjoy the unique sense of freedom and fresh air. Especially for the Neukölln, Tempelhof crowd :).

Tempelhofer Feld is amazing! The open space makes you feel free, whether you’re walking, cycling, or just relaxing. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy good weather and unwind. A must-visit place in Berlin with a really peaceful and vibrant atmosphere.

Former airport and airbridge, nice historical place. best recreational area in Berlin. especially for inlineskating, cycling, kiteing and similar. also people do BBQ here in summer.

Spacious and big open field, great for families and friends. Its lovely during sunset time. Had been there for Festival der Riesendrachen 2025 (Giant kite Festival), had an amazing experience.

An incredibly unique experience worth stopping by - walking down the runway was cool but i was more amazed by the community projects and various hidden places all around

Food not that good, great atmosphere entry staff friendly and efficient. Oasis at the top of a parking lot. Great bands and vibes plus view of the city. A surprisingly organic rustic relaxing or groovy place to be in the middle of a concrete jungle.

Half-price admission for people with 50%+ recognized disability. Stunning views of Berlin, live music, and a cute photo booth (€3 for 4 pics). Drinks and vegan food only — pricey and not great. When it’s crowded, tables near the photo spots can get annoying with people taking pictures, so pick a quieter spot if you want to relax.

My most favourite bar in the area. Infact one of my fav bars in the city. You get to enjoy the perfect view of the city . They have a big capacity so it’s ideal for a big group to spend some really good time in the evening while you watch the most beautiful sunsets. All the people working there are super welcoming and sweet. Must must must visit when in Berlin.

Really cool spot in Berlin with the full creative rooftop-garden vibe. Authentic and laid-back, with lots of artistic details, great views over the city, and a chill urban setting that’s perfect to hang out with friends. The only downside is the entrance fee, but still — worth it for the experience if you haven’t been there before.

The ambience is amazing. Beautiful views with an awesome sunset. Cocktails could be a bit better. Prices are adequate in my opinion. My only suggestion to improve: smoking-free outdoor areas. If you don’t smoke, you are forced to do it passively because all the tables have at least one person smoking. The only free area is indoor, but if you are on a rooftop, who wants to be indoors?

The Klunkerkranich offers a nice view over the city. The staff is nice and friendly and the audience is a beautiful, diverse crowd. I was surprised to have to pay an entrance fee of 3€ but at thend it's still worth it as the drinks are decent in price. I would have appreciated a more explicit hint that the meals are vegan only. I may have chosen something different than steak wrap had I seen that before ;-)

It is a very vibrant bar with a character and great views of Berlin. I suggest tocome here just before the sunset and stay for the evening 🙂

A shopping passage, (hands-on)-art gallery, the Upside Down Museum and much much more can be found here. Great place to spend some unplanned time. Indoor and outdoor.

Very well organized. You can walk around and you will find malls and other food studios. This is a square and you don’t need tickets for anything

Fun spot with a lot going on. There are plenty of shopping options and places to eat. And easy to get to with the subway system and a lot of options to head to other areas from there.

We had a great time visiting the Berlin Wall exhibit near Bahnhof Potsdamer Platz. It was a powerful and educational experience, especially sharing it with the kids. Seeing the actual remnants of the Wall sparked some meaningful conversations about history, freedom, and unity. The displays around the site are very informative, with photos and facts that helped us understand the significance of this area during the Cold War. We learned how Potsdamer Platz was once a desolate “no-man’s land” and is now a vibrant part of the city — such a striking transformation! It’s a quick stop, but packed with history. A great way to introduce kids to this important piece of the past while enjoying all the excitement Berlin has to offer nearby. Highly recommend!

Iconic land mark with exhibits of the old Berlin Wall, large transport station for many lines, also close to Berlin mall and many restaurants.

Following reunification, the area was redeveloped into a premier urban quarter featuring shopping, dining, cinemas, offices, and green spaces designed by architects including Renzo Piano. Interesting architecture mixed with various arts 🤩

Nice modern place. You can pay for view on Berlin from the top of one the buildings.

Visited September 2025. A beautiful old Church in the heart city centre. There is a lot of history with this building being bombed during WWII and the broken spire. This historical building is in the middle of an upscale neighborhood and stands out. It is right near the zoological garden train stops, so if you are in the area, make sure to stop by and see it.

Even though this church is a bombed out ruin (from WWII) it still maintains a measure of beauty. Definitely worth a stop when you find yourself in the area. Short walk to plenty of restaurants and shopping areas of Berlin and also not too far from the zoo.

A beautifully preserved church, modified with some modern elements, stands as a testament to resilience. It’s a poignant reminder of the devastation wrought by World War II, showcasing the church’s enduring spirit. The church’s meticulous preservation allows visitors to witness the damage and glimpse its pre-war glory. Interactive displays weave a compelling narrative, recounting the church’s history from its inception to its current state. While it’s disheartening to see such a magnificent structure destroyed, it serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences of war and the urgent need to avoid repeating such mistakes.

We didn't have time to walk along Kirfurstendamm but did want to see the leftovers of this church. Dedicated in 1895 it was heavily damaged in WWll, the tower is all that's left. So as not to spoil your visit I will only include a couple of interior photos. The sad parts are the atrocious new church hall and bell tower built either side. Free entry, you will only need 20-30 minutes for this. For coffee and cake go to Einstein Kaffee near the main station.

It’s amazing you should visit them! It’s 2 different places. The new church is in front of the old one. The new one has live music which offers a unique experience! The entrance is free for both.

From a place of worship and prayer, it is now a place of remembrance and contemplation. The temple stands there, half-ruined but imposing, reminding us on the one hand of the devastating consequences of war, but on the other hand of the power of humanity. The new temple built opposite is also impressive!

We visited the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in September 2025. From the outside it looked impressive even more so when you consider it was bombed during the Second World War. Once inside the ceiling is so a joy to behold. The church was a bit crowded for our visit but I found my location to admire the ceiling. Glad we visited this historic place.

Good park for hanging out and small picnic. It's by the spree so one can enjoy the water view, beautiful Sky, Nature and greenery. You can also find benches, flowers and fountain. Good place for families and children to play

I observed a monument for Russian soldiers. This pathetic monument symbolizing victory of Soviet Union in WWII and all symbolic depicts Soviet and Russian propaganda about Russians as deliberators of Europe. So I had a complex feeling- from one point - it’s a quality piece of art, from the other side, it’s a disgusting sample of propaganda

If you are in Berlin, you should visit this place. The park is beautiful. It is full of paths for walkers and cyclists. You can cool off on hot days by the water in the shade of the trees. The only thing I don't like is the quote from Lenin and Stalin, which, in my opinion, spoils the overall impression a little. But overall, I recommend this place to everyone.

A really beautiful park with plenty of space to relax. The lake is perfect for a short boat trip, and the small food stalls around the area are definitely worth trying. Sometimes there’s even an ice-cream stand open, which is a nice bonus. The overall vibe is calm and enjoyable, a great place to spend a few hours.

Lovely park, very large. I highly recommend taking a boat ride and trying the local cuisine there. Occasionally they have a lovely ice cream stand open. The atmosphere is always amazing.

Fabulous park. Has a very moving memorial to the Russian soldiers who saved the East Berliners from the Nazis. Lovely cafe's and plenty to do. Has a river running through it.

Wide park with a touching but imposing memorial to the Red Army for their victory in the Second World War, it is a wonderful place to both remember history and have a moment to walk outside and relax. It lacks public lighting, so it is strongly recommended to avoid the park at night as it is pitch dark.

The tour is a must-do in Berlin in my opinion (especially if you’re an avgeek like me)! Fantastic, informative and incredible to see inside such a prominent building in not just German but also global history. Well worth booking a tour, just wear comfortable shoes!

Beautiful and brilliant to reuse this space to walk, bike, roller, run and way more frankly impressive Berlin made sports pleasant being outdoor. I really recommend to visit during your time in Berlin try to find a nice day without rain this will be enjoyable.

Very impressive and definately worth taking the 2 hour tour, which at the time of my visit took you to many underground areas as the booking hall was not accessible, but be aware there are lots of stairs when viewing upper levels. No access to the hangers or apron but that may only be temporary

This is one of the most underrated attractions in Berlin. If you plan to visit this attraction, it is highly recommended that you join a guided tour, where you can visit many places not open to the general public and hear many interesting stories. What attracted us to visit was the story of the Berlin Airlift during the Soviet blockade of West Berlin's water and land transportation in the early Cold War after World War II. The tour guide said that many movies have been filmed here. Older ones include “The Endless Night,” where most of the movie takes place. Newer ones include “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2,” which served as the frontline command center for the rebels before they entered District 2 and the capital.

It was one of the most unique and interesting tourist experiences I’ve ever experienced. Highly recommended as it mixes history with a proper immersive experience. Its a full on 2hrs tour very well run

Had an amazing tour of Templehof Airport. Literally felt like we were taking a step back in time. I was not expecting it to be so good. Very interesting and the building is steeped in history. Also paid €3 after the tour to see the airfield from the airport tower. Highly recommend booking this tour

Templehof airport is a great site to visit. Very quite on the visitor side which makes it better. What i will say, is to capture the whole experience, Google earth it first as now the trees have grown and this ruins the enjoyment of seeing the semi circle as its supposed to be. The remnants of the eagle is still there and eagles of power are still adorned onto the buildings. Reading up on the history of these buildings, you can see why it would and could have been massive for the nails and indeed temllhof. Take time to reflect at the pilots who died in the area at the monument.

Urban Nation is a wonderful museum dedicated to street art and contemporary creativity. The entrance is free, and what’s really nice is that you can give a donation of any amount you wish when entering. The collection is inspiring, diverse, and full of color — from murals to installations. It’s a must-visit place in Berlin for anyone who loves modern art and urban culture!

I really enjoyed visiting the Urban Nation Museum. The exhibitions are free and showcase a wide range of street art, murals, and creative installations from international artists. It’s not a traditional museum – the atmosphere is modern and vibrant, and every piece has its own story. The staff are friendly, and the building itself feels like part of the art experience. If you’re into street art or just want to see a different side of Berlin’s culture, this place is definitely worth a visit.

The best museum in Berlin for me. People working there are so friendly and helpful, entry is free. You absolutely need to get an audioguide to learn about the museum, the history of urban art in Berlin, its focus and forms of expression. The works of art were very interesting, had a lot of messages and meanings. There was another exhibiton called "The Art of Flux" right across the road, also interesting to see. I definitely recommend this museum to anyone visiting or living in Berlin!

Cool place to see street art, currently there is an exhibition Love letters to the city. All visitors should see and/or use the toilet🙄 There are no tickets, but donation only.

Very nice exhibition of various artists. Project Films of artists around the world were also featured. Took us one hour to check the whole place. Entry is free. I definitely recommend to see this place if you have interest in Graffiti art.

An excellent collection of street art with interesting displays and text that prompt you to think - what is art that subverts, or gentrifies? And a fantastic toilet! I recommend going to nearby Malakeh - an award winning Syrian restaurant for food afterwards!

Really nice place with lots of art and they even have an audio tour. Entrance is free and you can donate afterwards. Toilets are “cool”and clean. Its not very big but its very entertaining nonetheless! 5/5

GET ME OUT OF EAST BELIN

More Americans should see this and understand the pain and the suffering to realise a wall doesn't work.

The place was good and so interesting.

I like history and to see how it was.

(Translated by Google) We were coming from the Military History Museum at Gerlow Airfield and stumbled upon this hidden little piece of history quite by chance. It was very valuable to us because we were able to tell our son what it was and why it was there. Thank you. The access road led through a small road and an archway. There's no parking here. The most you can do is park on the side of the road. There's no proper turning area. It's not a problem with a car, but I would advise against driving in there with a camper or trailer. (Original) Wir kamen vom Millitär Historischem Museums Flugplatz Gerlow und sind dann eher zufällig auf dieses versteckte kleine Stück Geschichte gestoßen. Es war für uns sehr wertvoll, da wir unserem Sohn erzählen konnten, was das ist und wozu es noch da steht. Dankeschön. Die Zufahrt führte durch eine kleine Straße durch einen Torbogen durch. Hier gibt es keine Parkplätze. Man kann maximal am Straßenrand stehen. Ein richtige Wendemöglichkeit gibt's es nicht. Mit dem PKw kein Problem, ich würde aber abraten mit einem Wohnmobil oder Anhänger dort reinzufahren .

Nicole is super! A funny, ironic, intelligent guide who took us to places we would,n't go and had heeps of interesting things to say. We were suprised she even took is to a flemish streetart! (Where we come from) Had nice tips for the rest of our stay. Tip-based tour - worth to go!! Thanks!

A very nice tour with Mathieu. I am now able to recognize the works of Alias, Ostap or SP38... I have lived in Berlin for a long time but I have learned lots of unusual little things! I recommend this visit to street art lovers, who want anecdotes about Berlin and street artists in general, but it is also a very good way to discover the city in a different way! Delighted to have had a nice time, I'm going to look at the graffiti differently now!! THANKS

Nice tour looking at Berlin with differsnt glasses. Also the workshop doing grafitti was a lot of fun.

A must tour if you are into street art and the underground part of Berlin.

The best simply!

Nice art

fantastic people with total insight of 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.

The best museum I have visited so far in Berlin! Very rich and huge group of artifacts from a wide range of Civilizations like Ancient Civilizations, Greek and Roman, Islamic… I booked the tickets online and entered with no wait time, there are Audi devices in several languages as well.

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!

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!

Berlin Zoo is a great day activity for families with kids. The place is beautiful, stroller friendly, with in door and outdoor displays. The stars of the show were the Pandas and the Penguin enclosure. Our toddlers also enjoyed watching the seals play in the waters.

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!

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.

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 zoo was beautiful, very well designed, and we really loved it. Even though it was raining, it was still super comfortable, with plenty of impressive indoor areas. Highly recommended!

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.👍😊

Visited on a Sunday and was fairly quiet. The views are stunning, it was one of the highlights of Berlin. So many detailed rooms to look at and explore. We spent a few hours here.

Charlottenburg Palace was one of the most beautiful places that I visited in Berlin. The garden area behind the palace is absolutely breathtaking, the grounds are immaculate. I did tours of both wings of the castle which are rich with history, art and other items that are centuries old. The woman at the entrance to get tickets was extremely rude and unhelpful, however every other staff member inside was lovely and one even helped with the lockers for storing my bag since I didn’t have any change for them.

Beautiful grand house and gardens. The displays of silver, the paintings and the ball rooms were spectacular. It’s easy to get to from the S Bahn. Our children were not as interested in some of the exhibits, so bear this in mind. However, the links between Prussia and the New Germany are fascinating. You may wish to visit the Cafe Kudika across the road for a really first class coffee stop rather than the in house cafe.

What an incredible structure and grounds. Even with the rocks in place of the original flower garden it's still beautiful and the reconstruction after WW2 is fantastic. It's certainly with your time if you're in the area and one to divert and hr or even more out of your way to see first hand as the photos simply do not do it justice.

An absolutely beautiful palace and a place not to be missed while in Berlin. We were there on a Friday just after opening at 10am and it was great to walk through and take photographs and soak up the aesthetics of this beautiful palace without the grounds. The excesses and wealth that went into a palace like this is quite remarkable. The grounds are just as beautiful and its free to walk about them without having to enter the palace, but you will regret not going inside. €12 entry fee for adults is well worth it or if you had more time than us, you could buy a pass for €19 which includes the new wing. Highly recommended.

Oh my world. It was stunning especially the new wing. Do not miss that golden and green room at the new wing. It wasn't crowded when we visited so we had the whole place just for us, but your toddler may not enjoy it 😁

Thought this was worth the price of admission. With the standard ticket you also get the entrance to the garden and the other wing in the back of the palace. It took me a decent time to get around and see everything and I felt like I could have spent more time there but was getting hungry. Overall worth a visit if you are in Berlin! I went on a weekday first thing in the morning and it wasn’t terribly crowded, although there was a line of people waiting for it to open.

One of the best shopping malls in Germany. Great architecture and facade of a building, very intricate and sophisticated interiors. Spacious, but could be crowded for obvious reasons. I would recommend to visit it during a week or in the morning on Saturday. Be careful with pastry and cakes. There are so many and delicious as well. You can visit Samsung store in a technology corner and check many other gadgets and products. There are plenty of restaurants and food corners, great selection of meat and fish 🐠

Out of This Planet: A Must-Visit Berlin Icon! If you’re visiting Berlin and don’t stop at KaDeWe, you’re missing out on one of the most extraordinary shopping and lifestyle experiences in Europe. This isn’t just a department store, it’s a luxurious adventure, a cultural icon, and a sensory playground all in one! From the moment you step inside, you’re transported into a world where elegance meets innovation. The layout is stunning, with beautifully curated departments, upscale boutiques, and high-end designer labels from all over the world. Whether you're into fashion, beauty, homeware, or gourmet food, KaDeWe has it all and then some. But the real magic? The legendary 6th and 7th floors. The Gourmet Food Hall (6th floor) is out of this world. It’s a paradise for food lovers, with everything from truffle cheeses and fresh seafood to rare wines and handcrafted chocolates. You can sip Champagne at the oyster bar or grab a freshly made schnitzel, sushi, or pastries from one of the many gourmet counters. The quality and presentation are unmatched. The Wintergarten Restaurant (7th floor) offers stunning panoramic views of Berlin, the perfect place to unwind with a cappuccino or cocktail after shopping. The natural light and glass roof make it feel like you’re dining in the clouds. Service throughout KaDeWe is top-tier: friendly, multilingual staff who treat every guest like a VIP. Even if you’re just window shopping, the experience is immersive and unforgettable. KaDeWe is more than just retail, it’s a cultural must-see, a place that blends tradition with modern luxury in a way that’s out of this planet. Whether you're a tourist, foodie, fashionista, or simply curious, do not leave Berlin without spending time here.

Visiting KaDeWe is always a delight. The pastries are not only beautiful but also absolutely delicious — a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. I love enjoying meals on their restaurants or in the canteen, soaking in the vibrant yet cozy atmosphere. Shopping for branded items here is a real pleasure, with attentive service that makes every purchase enjoyable. And the best part is? Finding the perfect gift is effortless — just stroll through KaDeWe, and you’ll discover exactly what you’re looking for. ✨🛍️

KaDeWe is a must-visit in Berlin! The shopping area offers a beautiful mix of luxury brands and elegant atmosphere. The pâtisserie on the top floor is exceptional — the éclairs are light, creamy, and absolutely delicious. A perfect place to shop, relax, and indulge!

A very large mall containing all luxury brands, and on the top floor there is a very large restaurant offering all kinds of food from all over the world.

If you decided to participate in the vanity of the entire street, whether it's your choice of lifestyle or just for fun as a tourist, you can either waste your time standing in line for one of the famous purses & handbags stores, or go up to the top floor and enjoy exquisit smells and tastes. 5 starts for the exhibition, 2 starts for the life style.

Always a stellar experience. The food court on the 6th floor is incredible and the winter garden on the 7th has a great view. If you have a question, or need help, the staff are willing and knowledgeable. Taking into account, of course, the dry Berliner sense of humour.

A strong historical flavor, elegance, and beautiful attractions!

The most famous street in Germany, known around the world!

The main avenue of Berlin, most of famous landmarks of the city are located on it: Brandenburger Tor, Berlin Dom, Alexanderplatz, Berlin TV Tower...I walked from Brandenburger Tor to Alexanderplatz, it was amazing! The route's quite long (~2,5km), if you don't want to travel on foot you can take the bus no 100 for instead, (this bus runs throughout the avenue)

Well maintained metro stations and surrounding area.

Good place for walking with nice historical places at the end of the both sides.

Great old Berlin street.

Exciting street full of history.🔥🔥

Not to be missed, even if you don’t like art. Stunning building, and the art is beautifully presented. The architects and curators did a great job. Just go and enjoy!

Visited the Bode-Museum Café… it’s above the entrance. With a beautiful staircase. They have a selection of drinks and cakes. It’s a total different atmosphere compared to normal cafés. You feel like you are a sophisticated space! No need to get a ticket If you are just visiting the café.

My favorite was the retables and altar pieces. So grand and stunning and it’s almost as if you’ve gone to dozens of churches and castles through this one museum. Staff was super friendly. The layout was a bit confusing and I had to orient myself.

A beautiful museum. The architecture and buildings in Berlin is big, bold and intricate and this one is no exception. Beautifully designed and ornate, it houses many meaningful and precious art. Visit when in Berlin

Spent lovely two hours at the museum, as well as its really sweet and aesthetically pleasing café (with great cookies 🍪). I think it's a place worth visiting for sure, especially for those who enjoy religious art (which I unfortunately don't), because there's a variety of things to see, from sculptures and paintings, to coins which was actually quite interesting! 😊 The general interior of the museum is so beautiful, and I enjoyed it a lot. There's a student discount if you have any form of a student card/validation with you, so keep that in mind!

I can confirm the lady at the cloakroom was exceptionally rude and I say this as a German. The male security staff around the museum were all lovely and very helpful. Bode museum was also quiet during my visit, but I mean who's really interested in the byzantine empire? The collection itself...well what can I say. Byzantine Empire is the most boring subject but Berlin is rather fond of its coin collection and punishes its locals and visitors every summer with an exhibition. For me as a local, it's not clear why Berlin is so obsessed with the byzantine empire and can't even have a proper city museum instead. It's so insanely boring. None of the artefacts can engage you, tell a story or are in any way immersive. Why is all this in Berlin showcased at a UNESCO certified site? So poorly curated. At least in Vienna for example it is clear that the museums either portray art from famous local artists or treasure collections from the former Emperor. Berlin museums need to do better and actually hire some quality curators.

memorable collections of statues. If come early in the morning of workdays, maybe you can enjoy the whole building by yourself

Atmospheric market - and a market for locals but also has a reasonable range of cooked food and some interesting goods.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful weekly markets in Berlin in my opinion. But this market is no longer a pure “Turkish market”; it is now called “Markt am Maybachufer” or “Neukölln weekly market”. In the front part of the very large market you will find countless fruit and vegetable stalls, the back part has developed into a true oasis for gourmets. I particularly like the "epicerie de Julien" stand there with great French products, fine wines - for some time now also non-alcoholic ones, salamis, ham, pies... And you get Julien's always good mood for free. (Original) Einer der schönsten Berliner Wochenmärkte wie ich finde. Aber dieser Markt ist schon lange kein reiner "Turkish Market" mehr, er nennt sich jetzt "Markt am Maybachufer" oder auch "Neuköllner Wochenmarkt". Im vorderen Teil des sehr großen Marktes findet man unzählige Obst und Gemüsestände, der hintere Teil hat sich zu einer wahren Oase für Feinschmecker entwickelt. Ganz besonders mag ich dort den Stand von "epicerie de Julien" mit tollen französischen Produkten, feinen Weinen - seit einiger Zeit auch alkoholfreien, Salamis, Schinken, Pasteten..... Und die immer gute Laune von Julien bekommt man für umsonst.

(Translated by Google) A very pleasant market where you'll find stalls selling everyday groceries, as well as local products (soaps, jewelry), artisanal products from around the world (olive oil, fabrics, jewelry, etc.), and food trucks offering a wide range of cuisine from around the world. Remember to bring cash; some stalls don't accept cards. (Original) Marche très sympa où l’on trouve à la fois des stands pour les courses de tout les jours mais aussi des produits locaux (savons, bijoux), des produits artisanaux du monde entier (huile d’olive, tissus, bijoux etc.) et des food trucks avec un large plat de cuisine du monde entier. Pensez à prendre du cash, certains stand n’acceptent pas les cartes

A gem at Kreutzberg. Highly recommend. Note on Tuesdays and Sundays.

(Translated by Google) The Turkish market is one of my essential stops when visiting Berlin. Visiting Mitte and skipping it means returning home without having understood the city at all. I love buying food from the stalls and enjoying it at home or in the park, but those who want to eat there have plenty of options, and not all of them are Turkish, in fact... If you're looking for fabrics or small gifts to take home, you can find ideas that are different from the typical mass-produced gifts for rushed tourists. Oh, and everything is on sale, so don't waste your time! (Original) Il mercato turco è per me una delle tappe essenziali quando si passa da Berlino. Visitare mitte ed escludere questo significa tornare a casa senza aver capito nulla della città. Mi piace molto acquistare prodotti alimentari dalle bancarelle e gustarli a casa o al parco, ma chi volesse mangiare in loco ha molte opportunità, e non tutte turche, anzi... Se invece cercate tessuti, piccoli regali da portare a casa potrete trovare idee che si differenziano dai classici regali prodotti in serie per i turisti più frettolosi. Ah, tutto quanto è in "angebot!", quindi non perdete tempo 😉

(Translated by Google) Great market and super prices! (Original) Toller Markt und super Preise!

(Translated by Google) A wonderful market with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and plenty of delicious treats. (Original) Ein wundervoller Markt mit viel frischem Obst und Gemüse und jede Menge leckere Köstlichkeiten

I had a wonderful time in here! The music was amazing, like real techno! You’ll vibe along! Worth the wait, waited at least 2 hrs in here on a Saturday night! Need to go back here for sure!

If you give it a chance (waiting in line for more than 4 hours), you’ll see it’s worth it. Mind blowing and life changing experience. Do your homework in order to increase chances to get in and avoid frustration of wasting your time by checking what is the party this day and what is the dress code. And it’s not that difficult. Highly recommend.

Got in (JULY 2025, FRIDAY) with two friends on my first try. But for one of us it was her second. DJ booth set up is the most insane (in a good way) thing I’ve seen ever and the music was amazing! Did this and Rave the Planet this year in the same 24 hours (safe to say my month in Berlin was phenomenal). Thank you for the experience! Don’t listen to anything “the haters” say about this place - it’s worth it. The people who ran the door were quieter but nice to me and my friends (it was only three of us - we are all black women and we’re treated with kindness from staff and clubbing patrons so I really liked that a lot - which unfortunately I can’t say for my home country at the moment in USA) so again please don’t listen to the rumors… just show up with hopes to get in… if you don’t you’re already dressed to go out and there are a few other clubs not too far away (or hop on the bahns which aren’t far even by American standards lol) For those looking for tips on getting in: I have none, they didn’t let the people in front of our group in or behind us and I wasn’t really paying attention as to why that might have happened so I’m sorry… we did however get in line at about 12:45am and the queue was about 40ish minutes before we went inside with only a few entries every 15/20 minutes… (they have declined Elon Musk and Rihanna at the door so I think it’s moreso about how you are and not who you are or could be AKA leave your ego at home, it won’t help you…. and the entry team do it WELL because the patrons are all really kind people who are friendly and fun). Overall try to go and JUST relax in line! Give the queue a shot (maybe be ready to wait awhile though) and be ready to dance! We left at around 5:30am (went out the night before to a really rooftop bar/club place in neukolln until 4am and have the parade in a few hours otherwise I would have stayed much much longer and recommend you stay for at least two DJ sets - 6/7 hours) and I was staying at the LOCKE which was only a few minutes away walking. Outside the club (whenever you are done) there are 10+ taxi/ubers waiting for people - so if your phone dies inside. Don’t worry about it because you will be able to find a ride home. I would have went back the next night again solo after rave the planet but I was extremely tired. I had a really amazing time and thank you again for the experience. I will try to get back in the next time i go. But please be aware that this is a place for people to authentically be themselves and enjoy the best techno music out there. So be kind, everyone has feelings and will be really nice to you when you are inside. I would absolutely go alone next time if that were the case. Inside the club is also very safe, I never felt anything but that - if you aren’t having a good time inside there are regulars who are kind enough to help you if you’re having an emergency or want to meet new people. Everyone inside just wants EVERYONE to have a good time with them, which I think is the thing you MUST have to get in… an aura of authenticity and pure kindness. I’m not the typical techno clubbing person (this was actually my first rave ever, with my second being the next day at the parade and the third at Sisyphos - so I get why people are upset in the reviews but to be honest that’s probably why you didn’t get in… most people who “belong” there if they didn’t get in would be cool with it and try again another time. As I met someone (from Kentucky who moved to Luxembourg years ago) who got denied but then came back once more just to see and got in. He wasn’t angry or swore the place off after the first “no” - also he speaks German fluently and Luxembourgish so I’m not sure if that was a plus factor for him as none of my group spoke German - BUT everyone! in Berlin speaks English (and honestly I think most Germans). If you plan on going good luck getting in and I hope when you do (it could take a few tries) that you have an amazing night(s).

We walked up at about 5am excited to see a beloved DJ from our home city. There was no one in line, it was totally silent. We walked up, explained we wanted to see, got a "no". This is where all the scathing entitled reviews come in, insulting people who got in, insulting the bouncers. I don't typically do exclusivity, but I would not have even tried for this place except for the knowledge that you are being rejected. So thank you for your one star reviews of encouragement. We ended up at the most perfect underground warehouse space. It was like time travelling. It felt like I was in something I thought only existed in memories and documentaries. The music, the grit, the rawness. It was unbelievable. Thank you for your no, Berghain. Maybe next time.

I was there just to take a pic of the entrance and i said, okay do the line, why not? actually i was with coffee hahaha and i get it, why? cause they feel your vibe, this is a GAY BAR, also you dont have to be afraid in the entrance or they smell it. Just have fun, this place is magic and unique. Don't kill the vibe if you think this is for you or you just want to entry for curiosity cause this is not for you. Amazing night hahaha for me, two hours, in real life, 12! hhahahah amazing

This place feels like the fine-dining equivalent of techno clubs. The sound quality and artist selection are excellent. The ventilation is outstanding- as a non-smoker, I wasn’t bothered by cigarette smoke at any point. The crowd size is kept at a reasonable level, giving you enough space to dance expressively while still being able to find a spot to chill whenever needed. The bouncers and staff may seem unfriendly at first, but once inside, you connect with genuine music lovers on the dance floor, who greet you with smiles and discreetly look out for you to make sure you’re doing well.

Please keep this place sacred. I got bounced twice, even after researching, knowing who was playing that night, etc. If you aren't vibing right, you probably won't get in. Thank you Berghain! I always struggled to understand techno and I now have a much deeper appreciation. It 100% deserves to be a Unesco site. I danced for 4 hours and it felt like 1 hour. The next day, I felt refreshed, despite the lack of sleep.

We took the Berlin walking tour as well as the Third Reich tour, both of which happened to be with the same guide, Marcel. Marcel was able to keep the tour interesting by relating his personal experience into the narrative. He also had such a great energy and makes the effort to know his guests and provide them with as much relevant information as he can.

The communist Berlin walking tour with Marcel was simply amazing. He has lots of knowledge about the wall and tells us a clear and detailed history about it. I recommend it for everyone

Absolutely brilliant tour with Nir as our guide. Informative, fun and a joy to be a part of. Highly recommended.

Brilliant tour, our guide Marcel was extremely knowledgeable and conveyed the information clearly and in a manner that was very interesting. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to take in the fascinating history that defines Berlin!

Nir was a amazing tour guide! So much knowledge about Berlin's history in so little time.

Very informative tour. I appreciate Rodrigo’s energy and wit which kept the tour interesting. This tour should be your first step for your Berlin visit!

Simon was amazing! He is clearly deeply interested in the history of Berlin and was able to share his enthusiasm with all of us. As WW2 nerds, we were able to learn even more during this tour, which was great. Thanks so much for the lovely afternoon full of interesting facts.
