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

It was amazing to see the Berlin Wall up close, covered in murals that are not just beautiful but also carry powerful messages. For me it had historic moments to things that still feel relevant today. The walk isn’t too long, and every few steps there’s another piece of art that makes you stop and think. Definitely worth visiting.

In the heart of Berlin, Museum Island is a UNESCO World Heritage site that houses five of the city’s most important museums. Ancient artifacts at the Pergamon Museum or classical art at the Alte Nationalgalerie, this island offers a cultural treat.

It’s free. You don’t need a tour guide to read to you what’s posted on the walls or make up exaggerated stories that you can google yourself. Unless you are that lazy, then pay someone to hold your hands. There is a long line in front of the US side of check point Charlie. Don’t wait there for a photo. Instead go to the back and you’ll get a better photo of both the US booth and the where the DMZ area and where the East German booth was. Side photos are also amazing. The is one last piece of the Berlin wall on display here next to the museum. You don’t need an entrance fee to the museum to see the wall. Also, there are literally tons of souvenir wall fragments being sold for over $30 each. Probably fake, some concrete and spray paint. I can’t believe how many people were lining up to buy these. They aren’t even works of art. Save your money on good German chocolate instead, made by a chocolate store not sold in a gift shop.

If you do one thing In Berlin, it should definitely be this place! The views are incredible and the architecture of the dome is amazing. I am afraid of heights and I certainly didn’t expect to love it so much, not even a wobble! It strangely feels so safe. Incredible! It’s free to visit but Make sure you book on their website to visit the earlier the better! As we did and you should hear back very quickly. There is security to go through and the lift to the top is not all glass.

I had a wonderful visit to Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin. The palace itself is absolutely stunning—just like stepping into one of those old-time shows you see on TV, but in real life. The interiors are beautifully preserved, and you really get a feel for the grandeur and history of the place. I spent around 2–3 hours exploring, and it was definitely worth the time. A nice bonus is that you get a discount on the ticket if you have a Berlin Card, which makes the experience even better value. Overall, I highly recommend a visit if you want to experience Berlin’s royal history up close.

We went on a very warm and sunny day. You have to leave backpacks in a locker (you need 1 euro coins which you get back when you return). We managed to get the last open locker as it was a busy day. Going into the cathedral you are met with a quiet and serene space with some fantastic murals and carvings on the huge dome. We spent 15-20 minutes just gazing around and admiring the huge organ (they have specific times when it's played but not when we had visited). You can then climb up 267 steps which starts very normal and wide and then later becomes narrow and winding metal stairs. There are places to stop and catch your breath but there are warnings everywhere that you have to commit once you start and it's not a trivial climb. Once up top you have fantastic views across the entire city and can walk around the entire dome admiring the 360 views. There was enough space to stop, admire the views and take plenty of pictures. As it was a very warm day, the side away from the sun was cooler and hence more busy. Once you have taken in the views you walk back down a different set of stairs (another 250+ steps) to a cafe area. Don't forget to go around the corner and fetch your bags. Overall a great place to learn the history, spend time in quiet contemplations and then get a workout for both your feet and your eyes. Highly recommend the 10 euro or so entrance fee (we bought online). The local area there is full of museums and other sights not to be missed.

Wow it’s a breathtaking view. You can get a tremendous view of the city and beautiful buildings and colourful streets from the top. If you take a view after sunset it’s added beauty with lights . The restaurants is closed in the evening Bus tram is nearby and well connected routes making it easy to reach others parts of the city It’s advisable to booking your tickets early that helps you avoid long queues and crowd. Enjoy your trip

It's one of my favourite spaces in Berlin. It's modern. It looks into the future. Buildings are astonishing, interesting mix of architectural genres. This place hosts so many events. Berlinale is an annual one where Berlin transforms in a star venue. Very beautiful at night!

Some restaurants really take on the personality of their owners and this is certainly one of those places. I had the pleasure of dining here 3 times. Twice in April 2025 and once in June 2025. All 3 dinners were memorable. The service and hospitality are exceptional. The wine list is a 200 page book that even the most experienced wine connoisseur will find stuff they have never drank. The food is all sourced from the region around Berlin. No lemon, pepper, olive oil, blue fin, Japanese Wagyu etc. eclectic Records play on a turntable at the bar. You can’t take pictures of the food but you can take photos of the records and the wine. I highly recommend coming for the experience. The wine bottles posted are from two separate dinners.

I had such a good time! I got invited there as a thank you - never been to such a high end restaurant. I have some restrictions food wise (can't have Milk protein) and I never felt better taken care of and like the staff is really looking out for me. They even called in advance to talk to me about the options and what is possible. Everyone was super attentive and friendly and the atmosphere is warm and relaxed. I loved the food!! Everything was incredibly tasty and there were combinations that just broadened my food horizon. I have no actual comparison on this level, but my company did and they thought the food was outstanding as well. So all over, if you want to do something special, you won't do wrong here ♡

This hidden gem in the backyard offers a delightful dining experience. The service, atmosphere, and food selection, as well as the quality, are excellent. The welcoming vibe feels like sharing a meal with friends—no unnecessary frills or strict rules. It's truly a memorable event for dinner. Plus, an early-hour booking with a discount adds extra value to the experience.

Truly exceptional experience. The food is gorgeous (which is, at the end of the day, the most important thing). Service is a superb - a mix of quality time with chef/owner Sebastian Frank giving insight into his philosophy and the stories behind the dishes, and an amazingly well informed service brigade (clearly not "just on a script" but with a genuine understanding of how the dishes are prepared). Wine parings are fantastic - and the non-alcoholic pairings look even better (that's what I'm having next time!). Very highly recommended.

Very delicious. The concept is one price for the chef menu with unlimited refill as soon as you can finish your food. For the price paid very well done. Drinks are nice as well. I recommend to come here in group. But for two people it’s also nice.

I've spent a few summers in Berlin largely looking for the best restaurants, especially those that serve pizza--until now I have not been so moved as to write a review. Food: I had their most basic pie, mostly for comparison's sake but their more signature options and the new collaborative monday menu were both so enticing I can see myself trying every one, and their menu is by no means limited to pizza, in fact it feels misrepresentative to call it a pizza spot. Nonetheless, their sourdough crust is superb, (coming from New York this is especially important to me), their toppings were more flavorful and fresh than the half a dozen other pizzas I had here this month (most of which were about 5 euro more expensive), and the dessert was the best sweet treat I have had in at least a year. Straciatella, topped over with warm chocolate mousse with a sprinkling of roasted hazelnuts (assembled before my eyes)--it tastes even better than it sounds. The wine selection was expansive, the cocktails blanced well between reliable and inventive, and the schnapps were also very well-rounded. Service: At this point it is a bit of a trope for Americans to complain about European restaurant service. Believe me, I am no stranger to the modicum of truth behind this phenomenon. Having just recently had some ludicrous wait-time experiences, I was so impressed by my server and the rest of the staff this evening. I was very promptly accomodated, despite the fact that I had not made a reservation. The only available seating was outside, which is normally a hot commodity in July in Berlin, but it happened to be raining somewhat seriously today so I had little competition (though the awning did its job well)--still they promptly offered me a warm tea, and brought out warm blankets for me in case it got cold. These may seem small, but they are examples/elements of outstanding service that I haven't experienced at any of the more expensive, fine-dining restaurants elsewhere in Berlin that I have patronized, let alone anything at this price-point, which is shockingly low considering the quality. Perhaps my familiarity with NYC prices is part of this, but such outstanding dinner and dessert for under 30 euro is a marvelous discovery. I will be returning here as often as I can manage. I started recommending Estelle to my local friends (and even some back home) halfway through my main course, I expect I will continue to sing its praises even as the memory of dessert fades months from now. Lastly, I do not review many restaurants, and this may seem a sign of inexpertise. I would understand that skepticism, but on the other hand I ate dinner out almost every night for the last month, and (again) nowhere in Berlin sparked such passion, no other dining experience moved me enough to take the time to write a review.

We dined here for the first time based on recommendations from friends and they were not wrong - what a great place. The service is great, the staff is actually very friendly, and professional throughout. We tried bone in NY strip, ribeyes and filets and all were cooked exactly like we asked for. The menu is great, many options, also on the appetizer side. Book well in advance - this place is popular!

We went here as the final dinner of an extended weekend in Berlin and I could not have wished for a better experience. We were imediately greeted by the extremely friendly staff and were seated at our table, there is an incredible atmosphere and the theme of the old apothacary realy sets the mood for the evening. The food was simply amazing, the bbq pork in particular. The House cocktails are also very well made and taste great. 10/10 would recommend and visit again

We showed up without a reservation and were quickly sat at a table upstairs. They were very accommodating with an English menu and the server was bilingual and extremely kind. The food…absolutely perfect. The apple pie was incredible, and made me question every apple pie I’ve ever had before this. If you are in the mood for true German fare, please give this place a chance.

Saw this place on Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" and I must say that it has stood the test of time. Definitely worth a visit, even if it is far from many of the main attractions. The wait is worth it! Nice staff as well. Try the currywurst paired with pommes frites and a beer!

Had a decent experience at BER Airport. It’s modern, clean, and pretty easy to navigate once you’re inside. Trains to and from the city are super convenient, which made getting there a breeze. That said, the security lines were longer than expected, and things felt a bit understaffed during my visit. If you’re in a rush, it can be a bit frustrating. But overall, it’s a solid airport with good facilities — just plan a little extra time for check-in and security.
