Berlin is a city of diversity. There are countless exciting places that insiders and influencers say you have to see! The Festival of Lights team has put together a few special tips for places that are definitely worth a visit and that are especially close to our hearts.
Exhibition EUROPA EXPERIENCE in the European House Berlin
Our very special Festival of Lights recommendation: Only a short walk from the Brandenburger Gate, the multimedia exhibition EUROPA EXPERIENCE offers visitors a virtual trip through Europe and the European Union. Interactive media stations offer a playful way of getting to know what the EU is, how it functions and how its citizens may influence its actions. An inspirational exhibition that you shouldn’t miss.
For the first time, the Olympiastadion Berlin brings the FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS to the western part of the city. Visitors can experience the historic stadium, Olympischer Platz, and the Olympic Rings on the stadium’s east side illuminated in a vibrant light installation. A special highlight features two exclusive light shows with music, custom-designed for the Olympiastadion Berlin by Finnish light artist Mikki Kunttu. The shows run alternately from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM (total duration of both shows approx. 15 minutes). In the East Curve, with views of the Marathon Gate and the cauldron, visitors can sit back and take in the impressive interplay of light and sound.
Hotel de Rome roof terrace – the best view in town
Enjoy a perfectly mixed drink on the glamorous roof terrace and watch the glow of this year’s FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS. High above the city, you can relax here, toast a beautiful evening with friends or let the golden autumn sun warm you during the day.
The dome of the Berlin Cathedral rises in the heart of the city. The monumental building was intended to be nothing less than Kaiser Wilhelm II’s Berlin answer to St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. The church room owes its incomparably magnificent design in the neo-Renaissance and neo-Baroque styles to this claim.
From the dome walkway you can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view over Berlin.
Berliner Dom, Am Lustgarten, 10178 Berlin
