One of the most beautiful squares in Berlin. The main architectural ensemble consists of three buildings: the German and French cathedrals and a concert hall located in the middle. All three buildings are maintained in the tones of a strict classical style. In December, a Christmas tree is installed on the Gendarmenmarkt and the fair starts. Festive lighting is lit on the facades of the cathedrals and the Concert Hall.
Address:
Gendarmenmarkt, Berlin

Perhaps the most beautiful square in Berlin. It is worth visiting. Of course, at this time they are renovating the buildings and the surrounding area, so you don't have a good picture at the moment!

It has a 1 euro entrance fee, but its quite good to be here to taste different wines and local foods. Many stores are widely selling random stuffs like souvenirs and home decorations. A good place to hang out after strolling around the centre.

This is a very nice square with some beautiful, big buildings like the concert hall, churches... It is also a nice place to come and sit on a bench. Or with children because there is a lot of place for them to safely run around.

Beautiful peaceful place at night. Not much to do as an activity but the square is big and safe. It’s very calm. A very nice place for a date or leisurely walk.

Beautiful. A bit dead at night, a little touristy in summer. The Schiller memorial should have been a fountain. If you enjoy classical music as well as modern classic - without the fuzz opera tends to earn - the Konzerthaus is definitely a must.
