What travellers are saying
- Max B38 contributionsWould highly recommend. This free attraction in the centre of Berlin is a great opportunity to get a better look at the city skyline whilst exploring the fascinating government building. Would also recommend getting the free audio guide that you can listen to whilst walking the plenary.Very thorough security that didn’t take long.
Tickets can be obtained in the white building just across the road we booked ours the day before but I can imagine you may need to go earlier when in high season.Written 23 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Located in a nice open clean square, no big crowds or people hassling you. Great experience.

- jonNorthwich, United Kingdom393 contributionsA very poignant memorial located close to the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin city.
A place to visit and reflect the atrocities inflicted by the nazis.
Fully open to the public allowing you to walk freely amongst the concrete columns.
Unfortunately some disrespectful youths were running about between the monuments..idiots.Written 15 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A bit of the wall remans with metal pliers added to give a sense of its height and direction. The museum is free and amazing at giving a history of the wall.l there is a tower to climb which gives you a perspective of the area. Worth the visit and the museum is 1-2 hoursWritten 7 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Katie H15 contributionsThis was unexpectedly one of the highlights of our trip to Berlin. We entered the park purely to sit down and have lunch before finding ourselves on an adventure through the neverending park. IT'S HUGE. Lots of statues and pathways to uncover. This was also how we came across the Victory Monument which was very impressive. A great way to explore different things in the City while keeping off the roadsWritten 6 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
