Like a mini Manhattan in Berlin. The skyscrapers are impressive from ground level, and you can also enjoy top views of the city from the Panoramapunkt café/viewing platform.

Nischay MohanJuly 18, 2015Trendy, vibrant financial district of Berlin with a fascinating history, and colorful residential and office buildings, a refreshing change from regular glass buildings of other financial districts.Upvote29DownvoteUpvoted Feb 12
Joanne MoussaFebruary 21, 2018Looks a lot like Manhattan, very different than the rest of historical Berlin. Beautiful architecture with lots of restaurants and iMAX theaters.
Upvote3Downvote- One of my favorite places in Berlin. Love the modern architecture, especially the Sony Center. The Potsdamer Platz area is also the "film center" of Berlin.Upvote5Downvote
The TelegraphFebruary 12, 2013Head to Potsdamer Platz, one of Europe’s busiest squares in the 1930s and a complete wasteland during the Berlin Wall years. Today’s collection of high-rise offices includes the sparkling Sony CenterUpvote17Downvote
Great location for whatever plans you might have. Walk to the Mall of Berlin, to Sony Center for cinema and coffee, or walk to the Jewish Memorial and Brandenburger Tor in 5 min max!Upvote2Downvote
SandyInBerlinMay 30, 2012Go when it's warm & massive lightening storms are expected. Sit at the front of a restaurant with the sliding walls open. Enjoy the tremendous acoustics of rolling thunderclaps & metallic rain.

It's a great quick read and interesting to see the line along the ground showing where the wall once was.UpvoteDownvote

Louise HApril 14, 2012This is my favorite nighttime-spot in Berlin! I love how Bahnhof Potzdamer Platz looks beside the gigantic DB-building. And there is also a post with the historical context of the train station.Upvote9Downvote
Andrew O BC 翁June 6, 2015Sophisticated modern high rise skyscrapers versus small pieces of Berlin WallUpvote2Downvote
Mostly malls and offices. No real nightlife scene, not worth a visit if you're looking to explore the better areas of the city. Tip: be sure to check out the hidden Keith Haring sculpture!UpvoteDownvote

Freefri A.May 1, 2012Perhaps the most visible symbol of the ‘New Berlin’. The historical Potsdamer Platz was a busy traffic hub that became synonymous with metropolitan life and entertainment in the early 20th century.Upvote2Downvote
Phat BuoyOctober 18, 2014The centre of new Berlin - so much history to read about in this area. Lots of high end hotels and US chain shops around hereUpvote1Downvote
Josh LaboveJanuary 17, 2015More of a shopping and transit hub, Potsdamer Platz is pretty spectacular as the sun goes down and the lights give the architecture a wonderful sparkle.

UpvoteDownvote- Phat BuoyOctober 17, 2014Worth a visit, particularly at night during October when the light festival is on - uplit trees and projections onto buildings give this place a magical feel.Upvote1Downvote
VuelingOctober 29, 2012Its modern architecture marks the new landscape of a unified Berlin. A curious fact is that Potsdamer Platz is where the first traffic lights in Europe were installed. http://bit.ly/QPxfkxUpvoteDownvote
Lisa ChristineJuly 4, 2014Interesting modern spot to visit for a quick stop, but mostly for its history. Now it's mostly only tourists. Of historic interest is an old GDR watchtower on Erna-Berger-Straße (at Leipziger Platz).UpvoteDownvote
JosephineJune 11, 2018Potsdamer Platz is a city within the city. Great office area but is missing the Berlin atmosphere.UpvoteDownvote
Jake SmithJuly 7, 2015Brush up on your Berlin Wall history with a very informative group of panels (actually mounted on a part of the wall).Upvote2Downvote- Aolani SmytheAugust 5, 2013Amazing plaza where the first traffic lights were installed here. Recommendable to visit at, indeed!

Marianna SokratousJanuary 7, 2016You should visit the Dali museum. It is very nice and cheap, 12 euro per person.UpvoteDownvote- Large, modern and lacking green stuff, but hey: look around, see the architecture. Isn't this place cool and photogenic?Upvote1Downvote
