The guidebooks we had read said that Potsdamer Platz was a must-see - but when we got there, we couldn't work out what all the fuss was about. Maybe it's better at night - but in the daytime, don't bother. more

Overall Potsdamer Platz is a let-down. It sounds resonant with history but looks, as another reviewer alreday observed, like Canary Wharf (London) and has too much traffic whizzing past to make it an interesting place to spend much time. Nearby though there are some historic sites (and sights!) ... the preserved hotel, the old traffic lights at the junction, and... more

For entertainment value i would probably give potsdamer platz 2 stars but i was so impressed with the sony centre architecture that i must give it another star. it is quite tourist based with cinemas, chain restaurants and the lego centre being the main attractions but the modern architecture makes up for this. the buildings surrounding the sony centre are... more

for modern architecture fans but also all the modern commodities, like shopping malls, 3D cinema, bars, restaurants etc. more

At first when we went to Potsdamer Platz I didn't think there was too much to it, but it was one of those places that we kept going back to as we realised there was more to it than we originally thought and it is nice at night when all the lights can be seen clearly. The Arkaden Shopping Centre... more

I was very impressed by these huge buildings. They are all designes by well known architects like Renzo Piano. Very nice how Berlin has re-invented the Potzdamer Platz! Will defenitely become ithe hart of the city in the near future. more
