This is a cool place to walk through. The architecture is interesting. There are better places to see pieces of the wall, this really does feel like a shopping center location. Although political activities take place here as well. Many, many moons ago I found myself smack in the middle of a rather large protest on one side and German... More

Potsdamer Platz is a great place to hang out! We arrived from the U-bahn, got a coffee and people watched for a bit. If you are looking for the pieces of the wall and you can't see them, they are probably across the street from you. The wall went through the square and if you pay attention you will see... More

It's modern but the buildings are classics - ideal to see what the Germans have built from the old east DDR drabness. Sony Centre is just one of the modern structures. U-bahn and bus. More

another MUST SEE of Berlin. lots of historical information around, central area. go inside the Sony Centre, up the Panorama Tower (you should do it on the 1st day of your stay to get a good view of where everything is located). See it during the day, and at night to see all the lights More

Wow, this place is pretty surreal. When you are in Berlin, grab the subway or public transit and find your way to the eastern section of Berlin. Go inside and you will be amazed by the colours and sheer size of this 'attraction.' The tent-like dome structure is incredible and there are tons of lights inside. If you are hungry... More

There are so many things to do and see in Berlin - why waste your time at a mall? Do you really need to see another H&M? Yes, the wall once ran through here, but there are other more interesting opportunities to see the wall...the Eastside Gallery and the Mauerpark, for example. More

This place displays the great modern architecture in a new development of Berlin after the walls came down. Part of the Sony center is developed on top of an old building (hotel) they shifted from another place. There is a nice cafe here, called Kasersaal, which serves nice breakfast. Other then that, there are not many good shops here, it... More
