The pure presentation of German art is complemented by special exhibitions that can be seen in the glass pavilion.

Musictours – Bus TourThe
Musictours tours offer a very special and unforgettable experience.
The place is not only a metropolis for all filmmakers, but also home and home for artists of all trades and especially for musicians, some of them world-famous.
To get to know everything from this musical side, there are various offers, from completely private tours to the famous „Hansa Studio Tour“.
If you want to follow in the footsteps of rock legends such as David Bowie or Iggy Pop, we recommend such a musical city tour.
Both of them, like many other artists, were at the world-famous Hansa Studios.

much humour is there in the scene? This question is answered on the city tours with a certain humorous character.
Artists and entertainers from the stages and variety shows present the sights in a new, funny and sometimes bizarre, typical brash way.

Residents and travellers enjoy outdoor sports in the city’s parks and gardens.
From yoga classes to giant kite flying, sporty participants are in top form! Beach volleyball has become one of the most popular sports in recent years.
Where there used to be wastelands, there are now beach bars with attached beach volleyball courts, and even entire championships are held in the German metropolis for the sport of beach volleyball.
For this purpose, Breitscheidplatz or Schlossplatz will simply be completely rebuilt and transformed into a beach volleyball arena.
There are special places and clubs in almost every district.
Beach MitteA
visit to a beach bar with an adjoining beach volleyball court is something quite normal for many in the summer months and probably one of the most popular leisure sports of all.

Christmas markets
During Advent, many people flock to the Christmas markets.
Especially at home, a Christmas market is something for the eye.
Visitors are offered extravagant handicraft items, special Christmas decorations or delicious food, the Gendarmenmarkt is famous for this.
With enchanting backdrops, small art workshops often offer their unique pieces for display.
For Christmas Eve, many people are always on the lookout for the perfect gift for their loved ones, and with the selection of rarities, everyone will find what they are looking for.

Every year, there are around 2500 different Christmas markets throughout Germany.
Christmas market at the GedächtniskircheThe
smell of gingerbread hangs in the air, the festive lighting shimmers from afar.
This year, already for the 35th time, the Schaustellerverband e.V. invites you to the

Cabaret
Sightseeing during the day and ending the evening with a cultural programme is a real pleasure in the big city.
If the demand exists, eight names of different places and districts fall at a stroke.
Distel and the Porcupines are two of the city’s long-established cabarets.
The tickets are very popular, also as gifts.
A combination of the craft of acting with epic and dramatic parts, music and lyricism bring to light very different forms of cabaret.
The boundaries to comedy and stand-up comedy are very fluid.
Cabaret theatre has a long tradition.
Mehringhof Theatre
The Mehringhof Theatre is located in Kreuzberg and was founded in April 1985.
It offers space for a maximum of 250 visitors.
The professional and committed cabaret always delights its audience with political preferences.
Greats like Horst Evers, Kurt Krömer, Marc-Uwe Kling, Dirk Bach, Ottfried Fischer, or Max Uthoff are well-attended performances.
Five evenings a week, the citizens of Kreuzberg prove that they are not at a loss for words.
Especially popular is the end-of-year programme in December, a nice summary of the year.
The theatre offers free seating, early arrival is an advantage
https://www.mehringhoftheater.de/
WühlmäuseDieter
Hallervorden, Wilfried Herbst and a few others founded the Wühlmäuse cabaret in Westend in 1960.
Over two levels, with 516 seats, the hall trades on a programme with continuous reels and an underlying theme that runs through the whole evening.
Irmgard Knef, Bruno Jonas, Richard Rogler, Nessi Tausendschön and many others have already made their contribution.
Once a year, the „Great Cabaret Festival“ takes place in the Diddi House, as well as the award ceremony of the Cabaret National League.
At regular two-month intervals, well-known personalities appear on stage alongside unknowns, under the motto „Seven at a Glance“.

Fresh harvest: weekly markets
Every neighbourhood has its weekly market.
They are a popular shopping option and on Saturdays the market is bustling with celebrity activity.
Cooking for yourself is fashionable again, healthy eating is in demand.
The motto is fresh and seasonal, regional and international.
Many products are supplied by farmers from the surrounding area and Brandenburg.
But the diverse offer has long since exceeded the conventional weekly market character.
The traders advertise their products with a lot of heart and snark as well as a pinch of humour.
If, in addition to quality and quantity, the location is right, individual weekly markets are at the top of the popularity scale.
This undoubtedly includes two addresses:
Weekly market at WinterfeldplatzSchön-schöner-Schöneberg
: easily accessible, the weekly market books some superlatives as the largest and best-known market.
The square, laid out in 1890, is named after the Prussian military officer Hans Karl von Winterfeldt.
The flair is defined by lime trees typical of Berlin and a market fountain that provides drinking water.
Nestled in a perfect setting of shops, Greek restaurants, Turkish bistros, pubs, antique dealers and playground, the weekly market is a night out destination – stroll, shop, linger.
In addition to high-quality fruit and vegetables, there are beautiful flowers, delicious cheese, useful household items, fancy clothes and homemade items.
Market days are Wednesday 08.00-14.00 and Saturday 08.00-16.00, except public holidays.
https://winterfeldtplatz.winterfeldt-markt.de/
Every Saturday: Weekly market at Kollwitzplatz
The focus is on organic products, healthy and vegan food.
The market in a bourgeois atmosphere naturally offers lots of fruit and vegetables.
Plus everything that makes a delicious weekend meal: bread specialities, cheeses, free-range eggs, spices and herbs, meat and fish, delicatessen, freshly pressed oils and wine.
A welcome alternative to standard supermarket shopping.
For the hunger in between, there is a choice of pizza and pasta, curry or white sausage and fine soups.
Among aromatic delicacies, a few stalls with textiles á la Prenz’lberg, wooden toys and presents mingle.
An eco-market opens on Thursdays and Christmas markets traditionally take place on Advent Sundays.
Cinema

The city is considered the film metropolis of Europe, and not just since yesterday.
Not only has it been the location for numerous international film productions, there is a great variety of cinemas and even the odd film festival.
From short films to the world-famous Berlinale, it is „the place to be“ when it comes to cinema in Germany and Europe.
In every district you will find numerous cinemas ranging from large state-of-the-art film plas to small art-house cinemas, also in different languages.
Every genre is catered for, even small niche films can be seen that you can’t watch anywhere else in Germany.
Astor Film Lounge
Tip: Go to our detailed cinema guide :
The Astor Film Lounge is one of the long-established, almost historic cinemas in the west of the city.
The cinema is located directly on the famous Kurfürstendamm and enchants its visitors above all with its charming interior.
The special thing about this cinema is that you also get to see real film classics here.
The cinema hall is even a listed building.
Of course, film lovers will still find modern digital projection technology here, but if you want to enjoy a film evening in a really cosy ambience with leather armchairs, the Astor Film Lounge is the place to be.
The Astor Film Lounge on Kurfürstendamm also has a bar for refreshments before or after the film.
Cinema Intimates
Another pearl of the local cinema scene is the Kino Intimes.
This is a small but cosy cinema in Friedrichshain, on Boxhagener Straße.
It has a long cinema history, specialising more in new releases, foreign language films and also arthouse productions.
This cinema has been around since 1909 and once again shows how long cinema history goes back.
A real eye-catcher is the cinema’s neon sign: In the shrill and eye-catching neon 70s style, the cinema thus also attracts passers-by additionally to the cinema, who can then also make themselves comfortable on the 83 seats.
Late and night screenings round off the already very well-balanced programme of Kino Intimes. There are also children’s films, which is not really surprising given the wide range of programmes despite the small size of the cinema, at least not for those who know Kino Intimes!
Berlin Wall
The Wall belongs to Berlin like the television tower.
No other international metropolis has such a turbulent history of division.
A wall was built in the middle of the city overnight, sealing off the GDR from the rest of the world, and even today you can see or trace the course of the wall everywhere.
Throughout the city, where the Wall ran, there are markings on the ground so that you can encounter remnants of the Wall even far from famous places like Checkpoint Charlie or the Brandenburg Gate.
The images of the inner-German reunification, when citizens from East and West climbed „The Wall“ or left behind the first barrier to the West at Bornholmer Straße, all this will be remembered and it is one of the reasons why so many people want to see Berlin.
To experience this history of the German-German division at first hand at the site of the events, in memorials or in the middle of the street.
East Side Gallery
The East Side Gallery is located between the two districts of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg.
It is the longest piece of the wall that can still be found in its original state.
Shortly after the fall of communism, they were painted by numerous artists on the eastern side with images of peace doves or Erich Honecker.
Even today, the East Side Gallery is still a memorial to the horrors brought about by the Wall.
Here, by the way, you can still look through the wall to the other side, just like the Wall Woodpeckers did at the time of the fall of communism.
Everything is in bloom around the East Side Gallery; there are no more traces of the death strip or the border here.
It is the sight that should not be missing from any programme when it comes to the Wall.
https://www.eastsidegallery.com/
Wall path
Along the Wall Trail you can explore the course of the border wall on foot or, even better, by bicycle.
It leads around the then encircled western zone of the city.
There are very different sections of the route that you can take, depending on your mood and fitness.
In total, the Wall Trail has an approximate length of around 160 kilometres.
In the past, border controls and soldiers‘ patrols were carried out on the paths; at present, you can still find remnants of the former border hidden everywhere.
There are also markers and memorials along the route to commemorate the many people who lost their lives fleeing the Wall.
Memorial stones, short biographies of the victims or real Wall remains can also be discovered on a tour along the Wall Trail.

Theatre

There are many theatres in the square.
From children’s theatre to cabaret theatre, variety theatre, musical theatre and many others, to classical theatre, there is something for every taste.
It is not for nothing that Berlin is not only the federal capital, but also a cultural centre with its colourful theatre landscape.
The large and small theatres are spread throughout the city and offer a varied programme for young and old with their diverse playbills.
We present two of the most famous and historic houses.
Deutsches TheaterThe
Deutsches Theater, or DT for short, is located in Mitte and can already look back on more than 150 years of very eventful history.
In addition to classical plays, modern productions with a top-class ensemble are also performed at this tradition-steeped venue.
Among other things, „The Weavers“ by Gerhart Hauptmann was premiered there.
Because of its contemporary productions, the Deutsches Theater has now been named Theatre of the Year three times by the magazine „Theater heute“, among many other awards.
The modern plays are particularly in focus during the annual festival „Autorentheatertage“, which is also often dubbed the „summit meeting of contemporary drama“.
https://www.deutschestheater.de/
VolksbühneThe
Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, located like the Deutsches Theater Mitte, was founded in 1914 by the association „Freie Volksbühne“ and financed collectively.
The present building, however, dates from the post-war period, as the theatre was badly damaged in the Second World War.
This stage was intended to test the limits of classical theatre and was designed from the outset to develop new forms.
Accordingly, there are also strong personalities under this umbrella, as director, author and artist, with whose help the realisation of this ambition was possible.
Currently, music, visual arts, digital productions and other performance arts come together there alongside theatre and dance.
Fairs and conferences
The colourful world of trade fairs meets at various locations around the year.
The largest location is the exhibition halls under the radio tower in the Westend.
The site was inaugurated in 1921 with just one hall and has since expanded to a total of 26 exhibition halls with almost 180,000 m² of space.
Since 2011, the site has also borne the name „ExpoCenter City“, as a second location in Selchow „ExpoCenter Airport“ was opened a year later.
In addition, there are smaller fairs in places like the „Kalkscheune“ or „STATION“.
International Green WeekOr
simply called „Green Week“ or „IGW“ for short, is a trade fair for agricultural products from all over the world.
It traditionally takes place every year in January at the „ExpoCenter City“ and had its beginnings as early as the mid-1920s.
Since 2005, an annually changing official partner country of the fair has been chosen.
In addition, there is a wide-ranging supporting programme with special exhibitions on changing themes, as well as seminars and discussions.
In addition to preserving agricultural tradition, the fair is also an opportunity to take a look at the future of agriculture and how we deal with it.
re:publica Internet Conference
The re:publica, from „res publica“ (public cause), is a comparatively new trade fair that was only founded in 2007 and takes place every year in May.
Since 2012, it has been held at STATION in Kreuzberg.
With its annually changing mottoes, the fair focuses on the topics „Internet“ and „Digital Society“, making it the largest of its kind in Europe.
The wide range of lectures and discussions not only deals with media and technical aspects of digitalisation, but also with cultural and political ones.
It’s not for nothing that re:publica has written „the most inspiring festival for the digital society“ on its banner.
Comedy

The metropolis is rightly regarded as an international centre of attraction for people working in the arts and culture and has the reputation of being a European cosmopolitan city.
With an incomparably diverse programme and daily performances and events, artists from a wide range of disciplines shape life in the big city.
In addition to a constantly growing art scene, countless theatre, opera or musical performances, museums and galleries, there are also clubs where comedians perform their programmes.
In the cabarets, variety shows and cabaret stages, visitors are made to laugh and marvel day after day.
The legendary Quatsch Comedy Club
The Quatsch Comedy Club is the first stand-up comedy club in Germany and offers a stage for five different comedians per evening.
For more than 25 years now, well-known comedians have been testing new programmes in Thomas Hermanns‘ Club, while newcomers can present themselves on the stage.
The audience is thus offered a palette of different humour styles night after night.
The Quatsch Comedy Club has become the meeting place for comedians and TV talent scouts, comedy writers, stars and up-and-coming comedians.
The heart of the club is the live show, which features four comedians – from newcomers to superstars, with the line-up changing weekly.
In addition to the live show, there are regular specials, such as the Quatsch Talentschmiede, the talent show for up-and-coming comedians.
Solo guest performances by individual comedians, such as Ingo Appelt, Emmi & Herr Willnowsky or Oliver Polak round off the programme.
https://www.quatsch-comedy-club.de/
Kookaburra, the comedy club
In 2002, Sanjay and Svenja Shihora opened the comedy club Kookaburra in Prenzlauer Berg in a former bank branch, of all places.
Where there are usually tears in your eyes, 100 guests laugh every night at the outstanding shows.
In addition to guest appearances by great artists such as Martina Brandl, Eckart v.Hirschhausen, Ausbilder Schmidt, Vince Ebert, Heinz Gröning, Michael Krebs, Markus Krebs and many more on the weekends, the operators have made the multicultural character part of the programme.
„English Comedy Night“, „Funny Schwiizerländ“, „Immigrantenstadl“ or „Bollywood“ are just a few examples that bring the humour of the whole world to this place.
The Kookaburra (incidentally an Australian bird whose call sounds like laughter) is as diverse as its guests: from stand-up comedy to visual comedy, music comedy, cabaret, readings and young talents and professionals working on their new programmes.
Places of interest

With a population of almost four million, the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany is the largest municipality in the country and was first mentioned in the 13th century.
It was first mentioned in documents in the 16th century.
At present, we are experiencing a world city of culture, but of course also of politics and science.
The city’s universities, countless sporting events, museums and sights are all internationally renowned.
Not only ideal as a tourist magnet in Europe, it also holds the UNESCO title of „City of Design“.
Among other things, the trendy shops, the fesitivals, architecture and the varied history of this city are known worldwide.
Checkpoint Charlie
Checkpoint Charlie is one of the world’s most famous sights.
Although the Wall has long since disappeared, the Cold War is over and the watchtowers had to be rebuilt, these circumstances do not disturb the ever-growing number of visitors in the slightest.
Checkpoint Charlie was the third checkpoint used by the Allies; incidentally, its name is derived from the international alphabet of letters (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie).
At the best-known German-German border crossing on Friedrichstraße, Allied guards registered members of the American, British and French forces before their journeys to East Berlin from September 1961 onwards.
Just one month later, in October 1961, the checkpoint becomes the scene of a tank confrontation between American and Soviet soldiers facing each other with live ammunition.
Checkpoint Charlie, however, is not only a witness to the Cold War, but also the scene of numerous dramatic escape attempts from the East.
An exhibition on the corner of Schützenstraße and Zimmerstraße tells of failed escape attempts and successful experiences.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkpoint_Charlie
The Reichstag
After the foundation of the German Empire, the architect Paul Wallot began building the Reichstag in 1884.
He combined elements of Renaissance, Baroque and Classicism and erected a dome of steel and glass almost 60 metres high, which was considered a masterpiece of the time.
After the severe damage caused by the Reichstag fire of 1933 and the destruction during the Second World War, the building had to be renovated and modernised and was then used for exhibitions.
The conversion work continued until the 1970s.
In October 1990, after the fall of the Wall, the first session of the all-German parliament took place.
From 1995 to 1999, the building was redesigned by Norman Foster and the glass dome with viewing platform designed by him has since become a crowd puller.
In April 1999, the key was symbolically handed over to the President of the Bundestag, Wolfgang Thierse.
Since then, the German Bundestag has been meeting there.
A special action, whose pictures went around the world, took place in 1995.
The Christo couple had received permission to completely cover the Reichstag.
