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.
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.
Next to the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Reichstag is not only a landmark of the city, but also one of the most famous buildings in Germany. Every day, thousands of Berlin visitors are drawn there to take a look at the historic building not only from the outside, but also from the inside.
Yes, Berlin also has mountains from which you can enjoy the view over the city. The Drachenberg in Grunewald is a great vantage point over the 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.
