Fun things to do in Berlin: 50 fun attractions and activities

A little way from the main tourist attractions, it’s a pleasant walk along the river Spree to see the longest remaining part of the Berlin Wall. 1.3 km in length, decorated by over 100 artists with short information boards along the way. Here you get a feel of what a divided city this was. Only the 3.6 m inner wall remains but add the boundary signal fence, 3m border fence and a watchtower every 600 meters to appreciate how separate both sides must have felt.

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.

Incredible experience walking through east side gallery. The art is amazing and being able to touch the Berlin Wall is also priceless. The feeling of connection and candy for your eyes with the art. I highly recommend. Touch it, feel it and bring in the moment.

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 🌞

This East Side Gallery is truly amazing. You need to take your time. So many murals to see and some really make you think. The 9th November 1989 was when the wall came down. There is also a good lot of history of Berlin, once it was divided now there is hope and freedom.

East Side Gallery is an iconic part of Berlin. The murals are colorful, creative, and tell powerful stories about the city’s history. Walking along this remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall is a unique experience. It’s amazing to see how art and history come together in one place. Some parts of the paintings are a bit faded or damaged, which slightly affects the overall impression. Still, it’s definitely worth a visit for anyone interested in history or street art.

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

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.

Went there on a public holiday, the museums were closed however one could easily access and visit the public spaces. The place is walking distance away from other places of tourist importance so should be clubbed along with them. One can also find souvenir shops around with tiny remnants of Berlin wall. A great place that reinforces a strong sense of German resilience and a must visit.

As an American, this was cool to see, but I couldn’t help feel disappointed at how touristy this place has become, and couldn’t really understand the photo opp area that everyone was taking photos in front of. For history, it’s very interesting to see in the museum area next to it has a lot of information but other than that it’s just another tourist attraction.

Historic, but it's become a bit tacky and commercialized unfortunately. Worth visiting if you are nearby, but not worth going a great distance to see. If you do go, be sure to read about the history at some of the exhibits at the intersection.

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.

Its ok unless you have a great sense of history associated with it. We did have this at second or third hand, thru novels and films about germany, east germany, WW 2, and The Wall. YET, I felt something was missing for that sense of historical gravitas to seep into the consciousness. Perhaps a sound and light show in the evening would help communicate this?

This is such a historic place, it is so impressive. We visited two nights while we were on holiday. The first night was really busy the second was quieter. The architectural details are amazing to view. There are some benches close by where you can take a seat and rest.

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.

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.

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.

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

A little pricy however you will get the best views across the city, you can see for miles. You go quickly up the elevator to the point where your ears pop on the way up. If you take photos of the views be prepared to alter the white balance as the viewing windows tend to have a green tint. Would be nice to see the views at night.

Perfect view on a good day. In my opinion the best time to visit is daytime on a clear day. That's when you get the best overview of the city. After sunset it's too dark and you can't identify the various places in the city. It felt a bit crowded on the viewing terrace though. Too many people due to early closing because of a special arrangement on the day of our visit. The queue to the elevator going down was way too long.

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.

You can see the 368m high television tower from almost everywhere in the city. It’s definitely a major tourist attraction and costs a whopping €32,50 to the 203m observation deck. Be prepared to queue for tickets, security and then the lift. There is a small bar area, two uninterested staff and an expensive drinks menu. €24,40 for a beer and a glass of wine were probably the most expensive drinks we had during our entire holiday. However the views are fabulous so it’s worth a visit.

Genuinely my favourite building in all of Berlin and was my favourite place to have gone to! I went on a very foggy rainy day and the view of Berlin from the tower was still amazing! Most iconic building in Berlin and the best one to take photos of and from within!🤩🤩🤩📸

I went up there in 1993. Then it was one of fastest elevators in the world. I have not been up there since however I have seen it and stood in it shadows many times. It is a amazing building in the old east part of Berlin. This area is not my favorite part of Berlin but a must see part if the city if you are in Berlin as a Tourist.

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.

It’s a very wide palace with grand design of the exterior walls and luxurious interior design. I’m surprised with a lot of collections of art works and porcelains. The garden is marvellous and demonstrates a genuine royal style. There are two entrances. One for the main building and the other for New Wing. Also bear in mind that those rooms and collections should be well protected, be reminded to close the doors of rooms after you enter.

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 😁

This place is located in the outskirts of the main Berlin city area. Not too difficult to get too if you have access to the u-bahn. The palace is wonderful and you can get the audio guide to visit the old wing. I would highly recommend taking the free audio guide. I would say it was the best audio guide I have had till date. It is very to the point and succinct. There was no long drawn music in the audio and it allowed us to enjoy the rooms without getting into long drawn details about the rooms. The newer wing was okay but the lawn/garden area was nice and a manageable size. The whole sight can be seen 1.5 to 2 hours. I would recommend going here if you are in Berlin. To save time I would recommend buying tickets online. Good to visit in the morning if you want less crowd.

You should visit this palace! This place is amazing you can visit a big part of the palace inside and out. There are so many rooms you can visit inside the palace. There are many beautiful collections of portraits, jewellery and dinnerwares. You can walk in palace’s garden for free. Also, won’t forget to see the mausoleum. There are many different types of tickets but personally I introduce you the full one. It costs 19€ per person and 14€ for students. Personally I introduce you to take the full ticket for a full experience. There is no time limit in the tour to the palace.

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.

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.

We had a great time at DDR Museum! The museum was very informative and it also had a lot of interactive displays, my children enjoyed it so much too. I also came here 10 years ago but feel like they have improved the museum so much. The staff were also very friendly. The only downside was that it was super crowded inside even though we visited here during weekday. We didn’t book any tickets in advance so we had to queue up about 20 mins. Otherwise a great museum and we’d love to visit here again!

This is a brilliant museum, so much to see and enjoy. I loved the Trabant driving simulator, I had to queue for my turn. The museum was really busy but you could still enjoy. I really liked the stories of people and the model living rooms as they would have been. There is a souvenir shop which also was very good. We were probably here for about 1hr 30 mins, seriously you could spend all day. Really good museum, take your time and just wait if the display is crowded.

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!

Very very informative museum. You need to set aside a good time in order to see all pictures and descriptions. Using the audio guide in many languages is very useful.

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.

A chilling and (rightfully) detailed account of the horrors of the Nazi regime and the buildings that once stood here housing the headquarters of the Gestapo, SS, and other main administrative departments of the Third Reich. The exhibits inside provide a very thorough history as I find it extremely important for those to understand first how the Nazi’s came to power in the very beginning. You can follow along how their power grew and led to the outbreak of WW2, in addition to the terror they imposed both within Germany and their occupied territories during this time. You are seeing history up front, right where it took place.

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

Bought tickets to see inside the Cathedral. Beautiful place and great way to see the city by waking up the 287 steps to the Dome. Not for the unhealthy or faint hearted as it’s one way up & down! Shame about the graffiti on the staircase walls! But worth the €10 admission

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!

Berliner Dom rises above Museum Island with a presence that feels both majestic and welcoming. The cathedral’s grand exterior hints at the splendor inside, where light streams through stained glass and highlights the careful details of the nave. It’s easy to wander from the quiet chapel to the expansive dome area, taking in the fusion of historic architecture and the lives that fill the space with quiet devotion and curiosity.Inside, the atmosphere is serene yet culturally rich. The interior decoration blends ornate craftsmanship with a sense of calm that invites reflection. Standing beneath the dome, or stepping into the Hohenzollern Crypt, offers a tangible sense of Berlin’s layered history—from royal legacies to the city’s modern resilience. The building itself narrates centuries of change, making a visit feel like stepping into a living museum.Visiting logistics are straightforward: the site is well-signposted, with accessible routes from nearby attractions on Museum Island. Audio guides and guided tours can deepen understanding of the cathedral’s construction, restoration efforts, and its role in German religious and national history. If planning a broader day in central Berlin, pairing a cathedral visit with a stroll along the Spree or through the surrounding historic districts enhances the experience.Overall, Berliner Dom is a must-see for lovers of architecture, history, and serene, contemplative spaces. It’s a place where past and present intersect in a way that resonates long after exiting the doors.

Berlin Cathedral is a historic Protestant church located on Museum Island. It features impressive architecture, a large dome, and houses significant art and monuments. The cathedral also offers guided tours and a view from the dome.

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

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.

One of the most happening place in Berlin. Now the street performance festival is going on. Don't miss it.

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.

It's the perfect place for a walk or a run. It's also a great picnic spot on sunny days!

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.

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.

Very interesting to see a famous monument. Great to make a comparison with this and the new one next door.

You get to go a sneaky underground route to get to this very fun column. Don't go aimlessly around the roundabout. You have to pay to go up but there's plenty of seating around and you can see the paintings pretty clearly !!!!

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!

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

Entrance fee: €4.5 per person. Nearly 300 steps will lead you to a spectacular viewpoint located at the top of the building.

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.

With roman goddess Viktoria on the top, the Siegessäule symbolizes wars for German unification. Reason why there are also 3 statues of Bismarck, Roon and Moltke. The Siegessäule was erected in 1873 and was originally placed in front of the Reichstag on Königsplatz. But they had moved it in 1938-1939 right to the current location. Enjoy😉👍🏻

I think there’s a lot of interesting information, but it was kind of boring at certain sections and then most of the interactive things were for children probably. I enjoyed trying them so they was actually kind of fun however since there were so many young children, we ended up waiting 20 minutes just for two small groups to finish using the Morse code machine and then we waited 40 minutes to use the lie detector test. The laserbeam game doesn’t take too long however I somehow tripped it and was very quickly eliminated and at that point I had no interest in waiting again, especially since I wanted to allow little children to play. There’s definitely some cool artifacts, but I think between waiting this museum was a bit of a struggle for me to get through.

Very interesting museum with lots of activities for children (or adults). Lots of codes to decipher and you can have a go at morse code.Lots to read in German or an English translation. You could spend a whole lot of time here if you want to read everything very carefully. Majority of the content focuses on Berlin during its division. Massive amount of James Bond memorabilia. One of my favourite bits was downstairs near the exit. This area focused on modern spy methods. It evaluated the ethics of spies and questioned whether spies have a real use in our modern world. Large gift shop. They advise you to place items in lockers before you enter. Fun and exciting. A nice break, less depressing than many of the World War and Cold War ones.

Weekday. Family of 4. This is a very interesting museum which captures much of the interesting history of espionage in Post World War 2 Berlin, in particular the Cold War. This museum is busy, so you will probably need to book in advance where you can choose a time slot. There is a good discount available using the ‘Welcome Berlin’ pass. There are many interactive exhibits although I would say not much to interest those under 12 years old or so. Clean toilets, free lockers (you get the 1 or 2 € deposit back) and the usual shop at the end. All good, well worth a visit and budget about 2 hours to make the most of it.

Fun museum for the family (2x kids: 11 & 13) with lots of interactive exhibits. Spent about 2 hours there. Book in advance online for cheaper tickets. Would recommend

We had huge expectations and went with kid’s, but only some attractions was interesting enough for 11 and 13 year old girls. A lot of reading which they didn’t really want. Half of attractions were broken or not in use and that was really disappointing. The queue for lie detector was so long that we didn’t manage:( Photo Booth and one of the lasers didn’t work. There are a lot of stories and historry for text explorers, but with active kids you dont have so much time.

An interesting, interactive museum covering a large spectrum of history. Some interactive elements required a wait of up to 20 minutes, but most were easily accessible. We didn’t quite allow enough time however, and rushed the last part. I’d suggest at least 3-4 hours to see everything. It was a great balance between learning and reading (my idea of a good time), and playing with things (my partner’s)

The visit was fun. Very entertaining and informative. What could be improved is that some of the attractions were only in German, which made it impossible to fully take advantage of everything the museum has to offer.

Its an interesting monument but I found that having very little information available or from the tour guide a bit average. Nobody knows the designers' reasons for the layout, etc, and it's left to your imagination. I didn't find it a moving monument like others and didn't feel it really captured the gravity of the situation or really provided a strong memorial for thise lost unfortunately, but thats just my view. It seemed to just be a bunch of concrete blocks and I feel so much more could have been done

This site is a memorial dedicated to the six million Jewish men, women, and children who were murdered during World War II. Visitors are asked to maintain a respectful attitude while on the grounds. For some, this is a powerful reminder of history; for others, it’s a deeply personal place to remember and honor loved ones.

★★★★★ The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe hits hard. Its 2,711 stark concrete slabs, sprawling yet suffocating, force you to feel the weight of history. Designed by Peter Eisenman, opened in 2005, it’s a gut-punch tribute to the Holocaust’s victims. Wander the uneven paths—silence creeps in. Respectful yet raw, it’s unmissable. Visit at dusk for haunting vibes.

A good place to explore the history. The memorials were proposed by a new york architect in early 2000s. Would recommend to visit the museum under them as well

Very quiet place obviously. Unique architecture. It's free to walk thu the memorial . Optional tour, closed Mondays

A sobering reminder of the lives lost in the heart of Berlin. A space to quietly reflect.

Very very sombre sight seeing all those blocks at different levels. Originally there were meant to be double the number but heath and safety needed wide walkways through. Well maintained. Security on site to help remind people to be respectful and not sit on the blocks.

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.

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.

A very interesting exhibition to see and better understand the Berlin Wall and its history. Free to enter. And be sure to visit the Chapel of Reconciliation.

A great walking immersive experience. Very informative and moving. You must do if you are in Berlin.

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.

Please please visit. It's beautiful and I've learned a lot here. The number of people who died at the wall is aweful but a beautiful memorial wall is left behind and the church. Lots of information. Great please to reflect. Free to visit and easy to get to via the tube from central berlin.

A powerful, open-air memorial that tells the story of a divided Berlin. Walk along preserved sections of the Wall, see the Death Strip, and reflect on personal stories of courage and loss. History comes alive here—sobering, moving, unforgettable.

We had a lovely time at the botanical gardens. The glasshouses were much larger than expected and showcased plants from all over the world, organized into continent-themed sections. The outdoor garden is also spacious and makes for a peaceful walk. However, we had expected more flowers and decorative arrangements. Most of the grounds are grass, trees, a pond, and some vegetable gardens.

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 place to visit during your trip to Berlin. Very interesting, lots of animals. Seeing pandas for the first time was a really cool experience. I recommend going to feeding shows, you can learn a lot from zookeepers feeding the animals.

Berlin Zoo is an amazing place to visit for animal lovers of all ages! It’s one of the oldest and most diverse zoos in Europe, home to hundreds of species from all over the world. The enclosures are spacious and well-maintained, and the layout makes it easy to explore the entire zoo in a day. Highlights include the pandas, elephants, and the impressive aquarium section. The staff are friendly, and there are plenty of cafés and rest areas throughout. A must-visit spot when in Berlin!

Very nice zoo which is located in the heart of city but still gives you a very calm and enjoyable athmosphere. They have a very wide range of different animal species and some very rare animals who were a pleasure to witness. The ony negative point is that they charged us the full price for the aquarium but the second floor with all the reptiles was not accessible due to renovation works... A big pitty that should have been mentioned at the entrance... Apart from that we have a good time in Berlin zoo.

This is the best zoo I have ever been to! They have a huge variety of animals and a large territory. Feel free to leave about 3 hours for your visit, it’s totally worth it The ticket price is fine, the zoo is clean and tidy I’d recommend coming early in the morning when it’s less crowded and buying online tickets

What a fun zoo! The grounds are beautifully designed and maintained. The route are easy to navigate and animals are easy to see, mostly. Don't slip the Gelato! It was a yummy snack.

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

Incredible museum both in terms of its architecture and preservation, as well as the quality and depth of its exhibits. It not only informs the visitors about the basics of Jewish identity (culture, religion, etc.) but also the history of Jewish people specifically in Germany which was really interesting. There are haunting and beautiful exhibits and memorials to victims of the Holocaust as well.

The architecture itself is stunning and incredibly powerful—it really makes you think. The exhibits are well put together and cover a huge amount of history, giving a deep look into the Jewish experience in Germany. It’s an incredibly moving and thought-provoking visit.

Unbelievable exposition. The history and art blend together. Fair warning you will need minimum of 3 hours to go through

Fantastic architecture and the use of the space to add to the exhibits emotionally and physically. It's free entry and easy to get to.

Interesting architectural building design and exhibitions before going upstairs for the core exhibition. Free entry but well worth the 5 euros for the audio headset.

Great museum, definetely worth visiting, free of charge, but need to take a free ticket, however, there were plenty of them, we didn't wait

Incredibly intresting and well-done museum. First of all, the architecture of buildings itself is a piece of art. Every detail is making sense. It’s better to have minimum of 2 hours to see the core exposition. There no entrance fee + you can download free app with audio-guide in different languages.

From bars to coffee shops to shopping. You can spend a couple of hours exploring and end up at a bar having a beer. It looks cute at night and the rain made it more beautiful! There’s also this hall full of stickers and street art that takes you to Kiko Central, a nice lot of you want to take some Instagram pictures.

Very interesting street indeed! Berlin city is famous for its wall paintings and graffiti. But this particular street is a very happening place. Proud this place are good shopping opportunities. And when you're done with the work, you can find wonderful joints, cafes and small eating places.

Few inneryards interconnected together with cafes, shops, cinema. Actually people live here, so its a bit like entering a cool community. Pretty quiet and slow in the morning.

Vibe of a small local community, little market place with, fruit&veggies stands and some with clothing, jewellery, bags... Cafés in the vicinity. Pleasant and cozy

Overrun with tourists, but interesting to see. Very limited food choices.

Very interesting street with awesome street arts and great shops lined up.

Would be very cute but its way too crowded, no places to chill or hang out without reservations… shopping options are quite limited

This was one of my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITES on my Berlin trip!! You can learn so much !! I loved to see all the different kinds of sea creatures and the animals looked so cute. Also, the dinosaurs OMG they were absolutely amazing!!! I would definitely visit again!!

It's a very impressive museum with a focal point Tristan, the best preserved T- rex skeleton in the world. Beware: Tristan will be at the museum till October 2025, so hurry up! The museum is very well equipped with interactive, digital ways of learning for kids and not only. Very impressive is the place of the projector where the creation of cosmos is shown! It is a special lace for educational trips and one in a lifetime dinosaurs' experience! The family ticket with three kids (18euros) was a very good deal, too.

I visited the Museum of Natural History in Berlin on a Saturday in June 2025. The ticket for one adult was €11 — totally worth it! It’s an amazing museum with so much to see that I actually had to take a coffee break before continuing. I especially loved the section with marine creatures and the one with butterflies — both were stunning. On the downside, some areas were quite hot and had a strong smell of naphthalene, which was a bit unpleasant. Overall, it’s a great place to spend the day, especially if you have kids — they’ll absolutely love it!

The museum has a great collection! I enjoyed my time there tremendously, especially at the dinosaurs sections. It wasn't crowded too even though it was a weekend. Very easy to navigate and look at the exhibits without feeling rushed

This museum is a must - go when visiting Berlin. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that has any interest in biology. There are many exhibitions covering a very, very large variety of species. I would say that it is not perfect for non - german speakers, but I wasn’t confused at any point. Most of the important informations are written both in german and english. Im giving four stars only because of the small lacks of translations to english.

It was really interesting and informative. I was going there to se dinosaurs, but there‘s more. U can find out about life from the beginning, how everything happened from the Big Bang, about space, first life, dinosaurs era, the life after and even how to make stuffed animals. There’s also a star of Berlin zoo - Bobby I also like that they have not typical audioguide, but u can listen about everything just using your own phone and your own headphones. That’s easier and more hygienic. I like that idea.

Amazing Museum with extraordinary exponats, wide collections of minerals, animals and prehistoric fossils. The main hall has the tallest Diplodoc dinosaur with the Guiness Record status. It opens at 09:30 in the working week and has around 10 rooms do discover. Unfortunately just the ground floor was open. For the full experience be there in the morning because later a lot of schools come and it’s getting busy. Minus for ONLY CASH in the Cafe. Except that we were astonished by the scale, the sizes, the number of collections and interior of the Museum. Definitely recommended!

Amazing and interactive experience, lots of great stars and celebrities, I had great fun in here! Also when you come across the cafe in here, stop off for an iced coffee, it was very nice! Better than Starbucks! If you have the Berlin card you get discount so worth the visit! It’s very close to the brandenberg gate.

Quite disappointing, to be honest. Most of the figures don’t really resemble the people they’re meant to portray. The collection is also smaller than we expected, and since part of it changes from time to time, we might have been unlucky. Overall, it’s not worth €30 for the basic ticket. On top of that, there were several groups of teenagers during our visit, which made it noisy and difficult to take pictures

Beautiful, all historic and legendary wax models inside the museum.

I love this place very much, I received great pleasure from the exhibitions. The staff and service also were on the big level.

Great fun and a great museum! I was in the same museum in Budapest and I can say that this one is much bigger! At the end, you have a small souvenir shop, but don't be fooled, after it you have another one that is not related to the museum itself.

Nice museum, but i think it is not good for small kids because they don't know many of the famous people. I don't recommend the photo access. If you are a family, I think it is enough to buy one access for the family.

Nice place to experience once in Berlin. They have a mix of figures but in general it is small and not so cheap. It is enjoyable still especially when it is not so busy and the souvenirs they have are nice especially the framed photo. Would still like to visit again at some point.

A smaller aquarium, but very interesting tanks and exhibits to explore and learn from. Children will have a great time here! We were finished in about an hour, but if you take the time to read everything and play the little games they have, I'm sure you could spend a few hours here. They also promote conservation and cleaning up the environment, which is always good to see! A fun little attraction for the family that can certainly be added to your Berlin vacation criteria!

Too bad that the giant aquarium with an elevator int he middle doesn't exist anymore, since it was the biggest attraction at the place. But the place is nice on its own. Quite targeted for child audience, you can surely spend hours and your children will still have something to do or see. If you just walk through the whole area, it's something for about 1 hour. I purchased the tickets in advance, but it doesn't seem that there should be any problem to buy the tickets at the spot, since there was no queue at the cash desk.

Beautiful attraction! The different sections you pass by with relaxing music. The place is very clean and had a great time there. I give 4 stars just because I saw two different parts were the employees gave some kind of explanation to the guests and I didn’t ask me to join. Keep it up guys!

Im so sorry, but im fully disappointed about this place :) . The people who work there are so friendly. But most of the Aquarium are just decorations, and small tanks. There isnt so much things to see. I expected big fishes but i didnt get those thing :) . I dont know how is it supposed to be. But i believe spending 18€ is so not worth it for a 30 minutes experience. Again im sorry, just disappointed for my 18€.

Staff were really friendly. Lots of different exhibits with different creatures in. Spent the most time at the Atlantic ocean part as this has a tunnel and curved windows so you can out your head right into the tank. We went especially to see that sharks get fed, but I expected more than a bit of food chucked into the other side of the tank to where we were told to stand, so that was a bit disappointing. Gift shop is great and has lots of smaller inexpensive items. You can also get a free slushy for doing a feedback survey which is a great idea and the slushy was nice

Quite small. One could have cool photos there, but the content is not that rich in my opinion. Most fish are small. I believe it is best suited for younger ages.

The exhibition is great and has some interactive “missions” and a treasure hunt as well as a decent amount of information on fish for mostly the young visitors. The elevator ride in the aqua dome is “ok” but not even close to breathtaking (it’s „just“ an extension of the nearby Radison Hotel and a short elevator ride). The real issue with the visit were mainly the other visitors and their children - mostly screaming and hitting against the windows. In case of using the Berlin card avoid online reservation because you won’t be able to get the reduced price. Instead make a slot reservation and pay in place.

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.

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!

Despite many other great attractions in Berlin, Urban Nation was definitely one of the highlights. Amazing atmosphere, impressive artworks and a unique vibe – truly worth a visit!

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

LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Berlin is such a fun place for kids and adults alike! The attractions are creative and hands-on, with plenty of LEGO-building areas, rides, and a 4D cinema that really adds to the experience. The Miniland section is impressive, showing detailed LEGO models of Berlin landmarks. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the place is clean and well-organized. Perfect for a family outing or a rainy day in Berlin!

We loved the centre! Spent over 3.5 hours and it was equally entertaining for kids and adults! Great place to bring kids when in Berlin! All activities are well thought through and timed. Great time for all of us!

We loved it! It's perfect for spending quality time building with your kids. There’s a wide variety of activities and games, plus moving LEGO exhibits like the fall of the Berlin Wall. 100% recommended!

Looks pretty good. My 9 years old daughter liked it. Yes - some entertainments are not for her, she's too old. But the most of them - she was very satisfied.

Only went to the store, it’s quite hard to find. You have to go in to the square with fountains and walk towards the restaurant lindenbrau. Then use the elevator on the left side down to -2. There you will find the entrance you can use without a ticket. Se the picture of the elevator for reference.

A medium sized venue with around 10 activities for kids to take part in. Plenty of interactivity and opportunity to play with LEGO. Might suit kids below 10 more than older ones, but there's still plenty for everyone to do. Perfect way to spend 1-2 hours. Parents can sit in the nearby cafe, or take part in the games with the kids.

Went for adult night--had a great time! Pretty big area for Berlin, and a mint Lego shop. Rides, building sections, food shack. Amazing, truly amazing staff. Everything was bilingual, German and English, which is also really fantastic.

Friederichstadt-Palast is a large modern theatre with a huge stage / performance area that is partially in the round. Consequently, all seats have a good view. We saw the "Falling in Love" spectacular. We sat towards one side but still felt that the view was excellent, and we were in row 4, so we could really see the performers' faces. Some may prefer to be more central & have a bigger budget. While the sets & costumes were really spectacular and enchanting, the quantity of song and dance was 4*. The foyer, bars, and cloakroom were all very efficient. Overall, the who evening was unforgettable.

We attended the performance of Falling in Love in July, and it was outstanding. From ticket sales to admission to finding our seats, the organization and service were excellent. The performance was phenomenal; the play had real depth. The stage, the entire revue theater, is simply brilliant. An experience you simply cannot miss. This was our first visit to the Friedrichstadtpalast, and it definitely won't be our last. Highly recommended!

Absolutely electrifying. Spectacular, and a must see if you go to Berlin. The performers were incredible and it was the best show I had ever seen. Every time amorher act came out you didn't think you could top it but it kept getting better and better!

This is the second show we've been to at the Palast when in Berlin and both have been a blast! The music, songs, costumes, dancers, strongmen, acrobats and sets are truly fantastic! I definitely recommend anyone to book seat and take in such a show.

If you loved Moulin Rouge in Paris, then Friedrichstadt Palast is the place to visit. As a theatre with the biggest stage in Europe in that aspect, I have enjoyed the show. Talented cast and performance was truly delightful. Be mindful however to buy tickets in advance for better prices.

What happens when a Las Vegas show has a baby with a cruise ship show, and the Radio City Rockettes with a little Cirque thrown in? The answer would have to be the production of Falling in Love at the Friedrichstraße-Palast. It’s almost indescribable as an experience but suffice to say that the scale of the production along with the fantastic visuals make for evening that you won’t soon forget. And there was a kick line of beautiful women (and very talented men!) in multiple configurations? Did I mention rain from the stage or the strong man act? Or the amazing costumes and visuals by Jean Paul Gautier? This classic theatre couldn’t have been a better frame for the production. With bespoke bars and grand decor it is a Berlin classic for sure.

we went there to watch Falling in Love with the kids. The choreography is amazing and the music the whole show is breathtaking. I just felt that it may not be recommended for young kids below 9 years old. The scenes of the trampolines and the acrobatic dance were on another level.

The Egyptian Museum in Berlin is a true journey through time. The collection is breathtaking: monumental sarcophagi, ancient frescoes, burial masks of pharaohs, rare papyri, and of course the legendary Bust of Nefertiti, whose beauty is simply mesmerizing. The museum’s atmosphere allows you to feel the spirit of millennia and immerse yourself in the mysteries of Ancient Egypt. A wonderful bonus: admission is free for Ukrainian citizens with valid ID. Don’t miss the chance to experience this fascinating treasure of history!

Visited the Egyptian Museum at the Neues Museum in Berlin and was thoroughly impressed. The collection is mind-blowing: lifelike statues, beautifully preserved coffins, intricate papyri, and the famous bust of Nefertiti — it’s one of the most comprehensive displays of ancient Egyptian culture I’ve seen. Walking through the halls, I felt a real connection to history. The exhibits are very well curated, with detailed captions in multiple languages and good lighting. The way they restored and presented the architecture inside the museum adds to the immersive feel. One highlight was seeing the Berlin Green Head sculpture (a finely carved late-period Egyptian statue) in person — the craftsmanship and expression are striking. Overall, this is absolutely one of the must-visit museums in Berlin — whether you are a history lover or simply curious, it gives you a vivid journey through thousands of years of Egyptian civilization.

Really good museum to visit but best to get online tickets before you go to avoid stress! We turned up at one of the entrances and were shouted at by a member of staff, and told to go right around the other side of the building to buy a ticket and put bags in a locker. We did, only to find that the jobsworth could have let us in at her door! Anyway once inside it was amazing, especially the Egyptian exhibition. Well worth a visit!

The Neues Museum is an incredible place to explore, with a perfect mix of restored historic architecture and modern design. The highlights for me were the Egyptian collection and, of course, the famous bust of Nefertiti — breathtaking to see in person. The exhibits are well-curated and it’s easy to spend a few hours here. Definitely a must-visit on Museum Island!

Visited September 2025. This is a really cool museum. This was my first time seeing old Egyptian artifacts. It cost 14 euros to enter. I was able to use my amex card. You have to store any bags in a locker, and you need a 1-euro coin to use them. There are so many rooms with different artifacts to see. Can definitely spend some time here. Totally worth the price of admission.

You should visit this museum. It’s so impressive! There are so many rooms with sights from different countries. You should dedicate too much time because the museum has 4 floors. The ticket costs 14€ and includes audio tour guide which is very helpful.

Main interest was to see Nefertiti bust, which we did but not allowed to take close up pictures, had to stand back to the designated photo line, so bring a long lens camera if you want a good shot. Went in a weekday, so not crowded at all. Entrance tickets available from the main ticket office, but would recommend buying online to save queuing as they don’t sell tickets at the entrance. There is a cafe on souvenir shop inside the museum.

Great zoo, very large so does take a lot of the day to walk around. Not too many food options were open when I was there so we had to walk back to the front area to eat and the lines were long. Plenty of toilets around the zoo so that was fine. There are a large amount of exhibits and a petting zoo which you can feed sheep. There is a great walk through exhibit which mimics a rain forest, it is very humid and hot in there for the animals so I would maybe avoid walking through if its a really hot day outside

Red pandas are very cute! Unfortunately, the animal feeding time indicated on their map does not seem to be correct. We waited in the red panda area for twenty minutes on time but did not receive the staff. However, this zoo is very beautiful and very large, making it perfect for taking a walk on autumn weekends!

A huge place so lovely big enclosures for most animals. Loads to see and they look well cared for. Clean and tidy! Only negative were that we felt the bird enclosures were quite small.

It's so nice to see animals which have big areas to live in. Most of the animals were very playful. They were running, playing around, eating and very active. Polar bears were playing so lovely in the water. Same Red Pandas or Fingertier. This was such a lovely day full of happy animals. The park in itself is huge so I have to come back again, because one day is not enough.

Nice place for adults and children ! The animals are cute. The zoo is big, we passed a half of day but we didn’t see all the animals. To visit again!

Fantastic place for a day with family. We spent the whole Sunday with children. Its the best Zoo I have been to. It is kept very clean and animals have lots of space for themselves. Snow Leopards were the best

Great place, really huge we spent 4 hours and didn’t get round it all as it was closing time. I suggest using google maps for direction whilst in the park as the map you get makes very little sense. The billboards that state you at here need to have an arrow showing which way you can go.

It's incredible 😊 Lots of fond memories. Very informative and interactive. Lockers for 1€ and a selection of drinks/ice creams for after the exhibit.

A really wonderful experience for every video games enthusiast. There are a lot of old consoles and gaming machines, well displayed and explained, most of them functioning and usable! There are some old play-rooms with old arcade cabinet. O definitely recommend a visit

We had a good time at the museum. My husband is a computer enthusiast, so he explained to me the different type of gaming consoles and the first generation of computer with the display. It is interesting how we have gotten so far and now we have AI. They have so many games to play from the 70s until present, so it’s perfect for the little ones. What we liked more about the museum: •they have time slots to avoid overcrowding •fair price • friendly staff What the museum can additionally add: • a touch-less alcohol or disinfectant spray Before you go • Book your tickets online

Nice collection of gaming history. Many classic systems are on display, with some classic and modern systems available for gaming, along with a selection of playable arcade machines from the ’80s and ’90s (not sure whether there’s a rotation of currently playable systems and games). Pros: - Large selection of classic systems and background info. - Hands-on experience. Cons: - Most controllers are greasy from being touched by many hands. Having some wipes available around the systems would be great. - The ’80s and ’90s consoles are stock units that run at 50 Hz, which results in slower gameplay in many games compared to the intended experience. There are many ways around that today.

We loved it. As a gamer in my mid 40's with two kids it was great fun reliving my childhood and the kids loved all the games I grew up with too. And yes they even had an Amiga CD32. I would have loved to play with it, but sadly it was behind glass. Got to play on NES, Master system and many more. Also got to play Taxi Driver in the arcade. It must be at least 15 years since I played it. Sooo much fun. We arrived early, and had the majority of the museum to ourselves for the first 30 minutes. Which was nice. Highly recommend

I haven’t had this fun in a long time. I’m a child of the 80s and by gosh, this place took me right back to my childhood. It’s a must for all computer game lovers where you get a chance to play games of old as well as learning the history of games from decades ago.

i loved this so so much it was amazing to learn more about how the video game industry came to be and all the technology advancements that took place i had so much fun also nearly cried a little from the excitement and nostalgia

Very busy on the weekends, but you can still always find enough space to feel like you've got your own area at least, be that on your own or in a group (one photo by the lake/pond shows how even at peak time, there wasnt much in front of me). Weekdays are my favourite though, it's basically empty, even on really sunny days. Definitely one of my favourite parks. Very family orientated making for a chilled/safe atmosphere.

I had a wonderful time at Volkspark Friedrichshain. It’s a large, green park with lots of walking paths and open spaces to relax. I especially enjoyed the small lakes, playgrounds, and peaceful corners where you can sit and take in the atmosphere. A perfect spot.

Large park on the border of the Berlin neighbourhoods of Friedrichshain and Prenzlauer Berg - it is the oldest public park in Berlin! Really nice to sit down on the grass during summer with some stunning fountains as seen on the brief video.

Very cute and big park. I like the east entrance and the northwest area most. Apart from that there's more (bbq) fields, trees, some water, and two higher points that give a very small view of the city.

Great central park to where we were staying. A great playground for children of all ages and there's a smaller playpark to the east of the park (when looking at the park map) but this was really small and poor so would stick to the main one. Plenty of walking routes and places to chill and sports courts (basketball, tennis and skate park) The ice cream gelato/coffee kiosk is great and there's a few restaurants in the park too which were busy.

An amazing and spacious park. Lots of people play sports, have barbecues, or just enjoy themselves. The park is very large and always full of visitors.

Amazing garden, vast and clean. Recommend for picknik and hikes

We didn’t plan to come here but it was a recommendation from a friend then we gave it a try. It was interesting exhibition from history of Germany to modern art showcase. And you have to go on the rooftop to see the panoramic view of Berlin and enjoying the coffee or cake at a cafe.

The Humboldt Forum inside the Berlin Schloss turned out to be one of the most fascinating places I’ve visited in Berlin—both for its architecture and its message. Walking up to the restored façade of the palace, you immediately feel the mix of old grandeur and modern transparency; from the outside, it looks like history brought back to life, but once you enter, the mood shifts to something deeply reflective and contemporary.Inside, the design is strikingly minimalist compared to the ornate exterior. Wide open halls, sleek concrete, and clean lighting allow the exhibits to breathe. The museum tries to tackle difficult themes—colonial history, cultural exchange, and how artifacts from around the world ended up in European institutions. Some displays are genuinely thought-provoking, especially in the sections covering non-European cultures. The interactive installations are well-done, though a bit text-heavy at times for casual visitors.I also appreciated the open balconies and terraces overlooking Museum Island—the views of the cathedral and the Spree River are superb. The atmosphere encourages slowing down and thinking, not just looking. While it’s not a traditional “art museum,” it feels like a dialogue between cultures rather than a collection of objects.The café on the ground floor was another highlight. It’s modern, calm, and perfect for a short break after exploring the exhibitions. Staff were friendly and spoke English and German fluently. Entry to the building itself is free, but the special exhibitions require a ticket, which felt fair for the quality and depth they offer.Overall, the Humboldt Forum is a blend of beauty, controversy, and reflection—an essential stop if you want to understand Berlin’s ongoing conversation with its past and future.

The Humboldt Forum is an impressive cultural venue located in the heart of Berlin. Housed in the reconstructed Berlin Palace, it combines modern architecture with historical grandeur. It’s a great place to explore Berlin’s connection to the world and reflect on shared heritage. You can easily spend 3 to 5 hours exploring all the exhibitions in detail. Don’t miss the rooftop terrace, it’s definitely worth a visit! From there, you can enjoy a stunning panoramic view of Berlin

Lovely hidden gem well the rooftop terrace is, nice morning out and having coffee and pastries on rooftop. Museum was interesting and an incredible building

Tuna Kahuna — A Gem That Captures the Spirit of the Islands Tuna Kahuna truly delighted me from the moment I walked in. What began as a simple stop for a glass of wine turned into an unexpectedly lovely experience. Unsure of what to order, the warm and gracious owner offered me a tasting — one sip, and I was instantly enchanted. The poke bowls here are extraordinary — each one a harmony of pristine fish, fresh ingredients, and vibrant island flavors. Every bite feels both nourishing and indulgent, a reminder of how simplicity done well can be pure art. The setting is equally inviting — airy, relaxed, and beautifully balanced between modern charm and coastal ease. Whether you dine indoors or enjoy the fresh air on the patio, there’s an unmistakable sense of aloha in the atmosphere. If you find yourself in Burlingame, don’t just pass by — treat yourself to Tuna Kahuna. It’s a rare little treasure that turns an ordinary meal into a joyful memory.

The 3€ ticket to the 4th floor is worth it. Buy the ticket in the main hall. Around the corner there is a dedicated elevator to the Roof Terrace. You can walk around the perimeter of the building and have a great view of Berlin. The cafe is also quite comfortable.

The museum has tons of quantities of artworks, especially the Asian part that demonstrates specific countries’ historical importance! The entry is for free in most of the exhibitions and these part will take 1 to 2 hours to go over. Recommend visiting here as it also provides the craft that can also be used as a chair in the entrance of exhibitions, letting you rest while enjoying the art!

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.

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love this place! 🥹 It was a one-time visit but so enriching and unforgettable. Walking inside felt like traveling back in time The Ishtar Gate was absolutely breathtaking 💙 and seeing the stone with Hammurabi’s laws ⚖️ gave me chills. And then the Roman Market Gate left me speechless. The size, the details, the feeling of standing in front of such a masterpiece… it was beyond words. Everything is displayed beautifully, it feels like a smooth journey through civilizations. Honestly, it’s not just “old things,” it’s history talking to you ✨ Highly recommend it if you’re in Berlin 🙌

If you haven't seen this museum till now, don't lose the chance to get familiar with the awesome history of great ancient human civilizations, it also can be interesting for kids or teenagers. Apparently it is gradually getting under construction section after another section, unfortunately I missed some important parts due to the reconstruction work, later on I had to check the missing parts on the original video & virtual tour of the museum.

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

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.

A very nice museum. However, since reducing in size, it was very crowded inside. Even though it's necessary to book a time slot, it seems that these slots are still very full, so it was a bit overwhelming with how many people were inside at one time. The islamic culture section was really beautiful, and the main halls too of course. I can recommend it for the price and the culture for sure!

We arrived and waited in line for about 10 minutes and were given a ticket for 4 hours time (which was no surprise to us without booking in advance) The museum was very beautiful and interesting, I got the audio guide and followed through the museum learning about the artifacts and art on display. It was very detailed and easy to follow. It took about 2 hours to go through the museum and I didn't listen to every single audio prompt! The displays inside the museum make you feel like you have traveled back in time and is very emersive. The gift shop had some nice treasures at a reasonable price. Tip: the first Sunday of each month the museum (almong with most others) are free to visit.

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.

I signed up for the guided tour of the stadium. The staff were very welcoming and the guide was talking in both English and German. The tour was a very informative one and the best one I have had for a stadium so far. Not only were we told interesting facts about the stadium, but we were also told about the history behind it. The stadium is far away from the city centre, although a long journey, you can reach without any issues by public trains. Highly recommended!

We had a great visit here, it wasn't crowded at all, so we could take our time exploring. The stadium is massive, clean, and well-kept. We barely saw any staff that day, probably because nothing was happening. The weather was awesome too, with sunshine in the stadium. We're short on time, so we couldn't see everything.

Good place to visit. Not to exciting but impressive. Was quiet. I only walked around the main stadium. $11 Did not join their tour, extra $ Half hour train ride from Central Station, no transfers.

I went with the guided tour. The guide was a very sympathetic British man. He was very good, knew everything about the club and the stadium. The stadium itself is extraordinary, very very big and just amazing. I would recommend every football fan to visit this place!

Fabulous stadium, lovingly modernised. Great grounds and good beer, not great food. Well done to the Berlin ultras for keeping the noise while the the lost. Great visits.

we came to see Bruce Springsteen in Berlin, but the venue was a letdown. his performance was as fantastic as always, but the bad acoustics were really disappointing, and so was the embarrassing organization surrounding the event. knowing you have a big event coming up, you need to make sure attendants can safely access the venue, and that wasn't cared for at all. there were huge crowds outside the stadium, no security, no barriers or any crowd control at all until the actual gates that led the people inside, and that's just plain dangerous. considering Berlin is a city accustomed to large happenings and international audiences, I had expected better.

Absolutely loved the whole experience of the Olympic stadium. So much to see. A very interesting place to visit.

Interesting museum. The transportation sections were quite comprehensive. Great airplane and ship/model selection. Signage to the old museum could be better. But it has a good, if not small display of German vintage cars. And the Cafe was a good place to take a break. A worthwhile museum to visit. Easy to get to by U or S Bahn.

I really enjoyed my visit to the German Museum of Technology in Berlin! It’s a fantastic place if you’re curious about how technology has shaped our world. The exhibitions are super interesting and easy to follow, with lots of cool things to see like vintage trains, airplanes, and even old ships. What I loved most was how interactive some parts were it made learning about complex inventions way more fun. The museum has something for everyone, whether you’re into history, science, or just like seeing unique machines up close. It’s a great spot to spend a few hours, especially if you’re visiting with family or friends. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in Berlin!

Great experience. We went on a guided tour of 1 hour and we wanted more. There was so much to learn! They have tickets at the entrance but it is always better to buy tickets in advance especially for groups. You can choose the day and the time. Our group chose a tour in English and the guide was very kind and the information she gave was accurate and insightful.

A wonderful museum full of fascinating exhibits for all ages! The variety is impressive — from early industrial machines to aircraft, trains, and space technology. My child especially loved the interactive sections and could spend hours exploring. It’s both educational and fun — definitely one of the best family spots in Berlin!

Really nice museum. Some sections do not have english translation but is not the majority. Great to go with family or friends since it is quite interactive. I really liked how everything was labeled with an explanation that was not only scientific but also setted on its context so one could know clearly the human impact that invention had at the time.

Interesting museum, loved the train engine shed, a real Thomas the tank engine vibe for the little ones, plenty to see, and play with. Can be very busy on weekends, but very enjoyable. You get discount if you use their QR code to book online.

Fascinating and enormous, the museum feels like a collection of smaller specialist museums. We greatly enjoyed our time here, we stayed for most of a day and could happily have returned for more. Good coffee and cakes at the cafe too.

Located next to Friedrichstraße Station, this historic site was once a border crossing between East and West Berlin during the division of Germany. Families and loved ones said their tearful goodbyes here, not knowing if they would ever see each other again. Today, it stands as a museum with a free entry, offering a glimpse into the struggles, restrictions, and emotional farewells of that era. Walking through the exhibits, you can see original passports, border control booths, and hear real stories from those who lived through it. It’s a powerful reminder of Berlin’s history and resilience.

I remember coming to East Berlin here in 1980. This great museum gives all the story of this station and the crossing between West and East Berlin. Ii’s free to enter and I highly recommend to visit it. Let’s hope it’s a symbol of unification and freedom to the whole world!

I learned a lot about the Berlin Wall here. This place is definitely worth a visit. 1) It’s free. 2) Provides a very informative audio guide (with your cell phone) to learn about the history of the Berlin Wall. 3) There are hands on displays that made it entertaining. Across the museum are the train tracks that take you throughout Germany. Definitely check that out too.

An excellent free museum dedicated to the story of those separated by the berlin wall in the cold War. A lot of reading (English available too) and photo exhibits. Something more interactive would have been nice. You needed to put bags in the freezer lockers for security. But a brilliant way in the cool air con to learn about Berlins colourful past.

Very good musem, the entrance is free, and so is the audio guide that you can access via the QR code located near the entrance. The exibitions are very well organized and the overall experience is amazing. This is a must visit while in Berlin.

Small but impactful Cold War era museum. Formerly the checkpoint near the train, very interactive and highly visual. In English and British with audio tour and written/hands on information. Kids liked it but very brief stop. Totally free, has lockers for bags.

Worth the trip! You get insight in how people paid visits back then from west to east Berlin. Entrance is free and the building itself with all the glass is gorgeous.

The bunker audio tour was a good tour. It explains very well what happened and tries to explain how it could happen. It's scary to see parallels to today's world. It's forbidden to take pictures inside, which to me is a very weird thing in 2025...

A deep merge, with short and direct information about the history of National Socialism in Germany and all the consequences of it. Supported by photos, videos and some objects all with ambience of being inside a bunker. As a big fan of history I enjoyed the tour accompanied by the audio guide. Unfortunately the original bunker was closed and I couldn’t check it what would surely be a plus.

Just looking at the storyboards outside made me wanted to go in so much! I've to come back another day due to constraints but I'll be back.

I literally love this museum : first you re in a real Second World War bunker, under 4 mt of armoured cement , 2 is really well done and the amount of info, videos, text is huge . You need at least 5hours if you are a history lover as me ( I couldn’t stay more due to my flight)

A simply INCREDIBLE journey! We spent over 2hrs studying every storyboard and then found a sign saying you are now 25% through the Museum!! OMG!!! Got to be the best, informative Museum in Berlin, so much historic detail. NO CAMERAS ALLOWED so no pics shown, but could've taken 100! Totally, absolutely unreal value for money, it's certainly THE No1 must-see Museum in Berlin in our humble opinion. Simply awesome 👍🏼

I didn't plan to go here but was at a cafe across the street so gave it a try. There was no queue. Entry costs €12 and you receive a headset and audio guide. I expected the tour to be small and mostly about life in the bunker during World War II. The museum covers much more history and covers Berlin before, during and after both World Wars. I'm not sure how long it took to walk through the whole museum but it was much longer than I expected.

Really good and interesting. The commentary is great with enough detail but not too much to lose concentration. It's actually a long tour, 2hrs plus! I'd advise eating and going to the bathroom beforehand. I went to the bathroom part way thru and it was very confusing doors to get out and then had to go back thru the start again.

Platform 17 is a deeply moving and important memorial dedicated to the Jewish people. It stands as a chilling and powerful testimony to the horrors that took place here over 80 years ago. Visiting this site is not just recommended — it is essential for anyone who wants to understand and reflect on this dark chapter in history. The experience is emotional, educational, and unforgettable.

You can access the platform by walking past the entrance to the train station, through the leafy spot all the way to the back. You'll pass the monument on your left by Karol Broniatowski which intuitively connects you with the Jews deported from there. The platform itself is quite long but surprisingly narrow, especially once you read the numbers engraved onto the metal slabs, representing amounts of people that were sent to their deaths. It was a very sobering experience, walking down the exact same platform, reading those numbers and destinations, connecting with the terror and fear they must have felt. We'd better learn from the past and never allow such atrocity to happen ever again.

A somber memorial dedicated to the thousands of Jews sent from Berlin to concentration camps across Europe during WWII. Amazing this station sits in a very(very) upper class section of Berlin. Short S-Bahn trip from Berlin Hbf.

If you have been to Berlin many times and looking for new place to see. I highly recommend this place

A very good must short visit.

This is by far one of the top 5 most impactful memorials I have ever been too. This and Topography of Terror need to be seen. I appreciate the local government taking the time to preserve this location and allowing visitors to experience it. Please, if you are planning to tour and see holocaust locations, you need to come here as part of your tour.

I came to visit this historic place, to feel how the people who was deported during ww2 was feeling, horrible sad last moments of their life's in Berlin . Around 50-000 jews were deported from this station.
