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.
In the Berlin district of Mitte, a green area of about 6 hectares was created after the Second World War. It is bordered by Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, Alexanderplatz train station, Rathausstraße and Spandauer Straße.
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…
One of the truly exceptional viewpoints in Berlin is the large HiFlyer a tethered balloon near Checkpoint Charlie.
Viewpoints are simply the highlight of every city discovery for me. So a visit to the Panorama Point at Potsdamer Platz was just the thing for me.
Berlin also has mountains, you might hardly believe it. Besides the most famous mountain, the Teufelsberg, there is the Hahneberg in the district of Spandau.
Abandoned on Teufelsberg in Grunewald, the former US radar and listening station Teufelsberg. Today, only dilapidated buildings remain as reminders of an eventful piece of history in Berlin.
It is Sunday at around lunchtime – time to go for a walk – time to go to the visitor’s deck of Tegel Airport. At Tegel Airport guests can observe aeroplanes for hours from the visitor’s deck.
The victory column (“Siegessäule”) in Berlin is located on the main square in the district Tiergarten, the “Großer Stern” – the great star square. It was built according to a design by Heinrich Strack and is now under monumental protection.
