Viewpoints in Berlin

We love discovering a city from above. High above the houses, a city looks completely different and especially in Berlin it is very exciting to look down into the canyons of houses.

There are very different vantage points in Berlin – you can climb a mountain, take the lift to the observation deck of a skyscraper or climb a tower. Each place offers a new view of a varied and exciting city.

St Matthew's Church in Berlin: Viewpoint on the church tower

Berlin is a green city. This is always noticeable to us when we are looking for a place for a short walk. The Lübars leisure park with the Lübarser Höhe is the ideal place for a short trip.

If you travel on the Berlin S-Bahn ring, you will come to the Messe Nord station. This is a busy place, especially during trade fairs, and from here you can get to the Messezentrum Berlin. But not only that. Here is also the ICC Berlin, the Berlin Radio Tower, the House of Radio and not…
