  • Review this attraction
  • 1. Tränenpalast

    The Palace of Tears witnessed much heartbreak, when Western visitors parted from family or friends in the East after a visit. Today, the former checkpoint at S-Bahn station Friedrichstraße is a concert hall.

  • 2. Russian Embassy

    This giant building, typical of Stalinist “wedding cake” style, was erected in 1948–53 on the site of the old Tsarist embassy.

  • 3. WMF-Haus

    The former headquarters of the porcelain and cutlery manufacturer WMF has remarkable façades, decorated with beautiful mosaics.

  • 4. Alte Kommandantur

    An impressive classicist building designed by Schinkel and rebuilt in 2004 to house the Berlin offices of Bertelsmann.

  • 5. Maxim-Gorki-Theater

    The renowned theatre was once Berlin’s Singakademie, or singing school. Paganini and Liszt, among others, performed here.

  • 6. S-Bahnhof Friedrichstraße

    Remodelled several times, this has always been one of Berlin’s most famous stations. In 1961–89, it was the principal crossing point between East and West.

  • 7. Admiralspalast

    The old Admirals’ Palace is the only remaining theatre in Berlin’s erstwhile entertainment district. Today it is the home of the Metropoltheater (currently closed).

  • 8. Palais am Festungsgraben

    The Baroque palace of 1753 has maintained its original elegant interior.

  • 9. Komische Oper

    One of Germany’s most magnificent opera houses, dating from 1892, is concealed behind a modern façade. All performances are in German.

  • 10. Mohrenkolonnaden

    The Neo-Classical arcades, designed in 1787 by Carl G. Langhans, originally adorned a bridge across the city moat.
