Absolute German historical and architectural wonder. It is a must-climb, just like you don't skip Notre Dame de Paris or Westminster Abbey. The view is absolutely stunning and the bells wonderful.

Emma Wijninga

Entrance is €7, which is a lot, but still worth it. Beautiful place of worship, make sure to walk up to the top of the dome, for a great panoramic view over Berlin.

Phat Buoy

Absolutely stunning Cathedral . Beautiful in sunlight. If you want to climb to the top please note the opening and closing times: http://www.berlinerdom.de/content/view/13/92/lang,en/

Head up on a nice day for great views of the city . Be sure to linger as long as you want at the top, and take a picture from directly above the Lustgarden.

Shaileshwori Sharma

Great to see even from outside. Tip: go in the evening & stay in the park for thousands of birds coming home. It's a natural panorama that is unforgettable.

Nancy Scott

Worth climbing the 270 steps to the outer walkway of the dome. Stunning panoramic views as good if not better than the TV tower.

Make sure you visit the walkway around the dome. Excellent views of the city ! On your way up you have the chance to see the nave and atrium area.

Félix

Could seem a bit expensive but worth a visit as you can explore lots of areas of it, especially the top of the dome (be ready for the steps )

Tony Bib

The tour of the Dome is a must. Fantastic history, architecture and the views from the outside walk way are well worth the 100's of steps to climb .

Joanne Moussa

Breathtaking historical cathedral , also know as Berliner Dom. The interior is as beautiful as the exterior.

Banu Dnzr

The most famous sight in Berlin. Has a great garden where you can relax, rest and take pictures.

Anna Phoenix

One of the most beautiful places you can find on this wonderful city ! It's worth take a time and go there.

Mahmut Enes Kayaalp

Beautiful recreational center in front of it. Acoustics inside is not recommendable. Better skip concerts there. 7 EU! to get into a church like in arrogant Florence. Atypical and improper for Berlin.

Lin irl

Definitely worth it to walk all the way to the very top. Outdoor walkway . If you have fear of heights may not be a good idea though. The view is great!

The biggest church in Berlin , the Berliner Dom is a tourist favorite. You can climb up the dome to get a view of the city . Also check out the famous Wilhelm Sauer pipe organ inside. Entrance is €5.

Did you know? Berlin Cathedral has never actually been a cathedral since it has never been the seat of a bishop. Well we don't care, we still love it anyway!

Lina

Breathtaking architecture and an amazing view from the Panorama platform . There's no lift though, but 267 steps are worth the view !

Mark Lee

Decent cafe in basement that grants access to the adjacent loos that are €0,50 if you have had free prayer entry or paid to visit. But prayer does not permit entry to shop; you get told “verbotten”

TAB

You should take a photo at the dom top... nice view

Julia Lu

Go up to the walkway at the dome to get a really awesome 360 view of the city !

Grys Tin

Not only magnificent view ; this stunning cathedral is real metaphor of German history, they had to start over again..

Thijs Niks

Definitely buy the ticket to enter the church and go up the dome for the great view . You won’t believe this version of the building is only 20 years old.

Murat

Must see attraction , close to many other tourist attractions . Definately go in, and climb up if you can.

Daisy

v beautiful views from the top and a fascinating gallery inside! totally worth every penny :)

Tim Sachse

Services held at Berlin Cathedral are always a musical treat. Their world-famous ‘Sauer’ organ can be heard during every service of worship and Vesper

Camila V

Ir soch a beautifully and in the night you can see the lights on that looks awesome

Guz Forster

What an awesome place to visit. The cathedral is beautiful inside. Lots of history and art .

Kenny Vanelderen

A must see for tourists . Beautiful architecture and you can even go to the top of the church and have a great view of the city

Celtina LLoshi

In the sides of the bridge to Berliner Dom you might find photo moments from different countries including a photo of children witg traditional hats from Kruja; Albania.

Rafael Marin

Beautiful cathedral . Go upstairs to the dome to enjoy amazing views of the city !

Elona Shatri

beautiful in both sides, I like the view from the back, you can see the river , bridge , museum and the cathedral

Dazia Pineda

There are lockers. For the inside tour is 7euro and includes the top view

Jonfen Parker

Make sure to see the crypt and also head up to the roof. The experience is well worth the time it takes to walk up!

DoubleDeuce

It's quite beautiful to admire from outside and you can also go inside and see a good view of Berlin from the top.

Bahman S

Absolutely great and glorious architecture . It has a very nice view from Spree river .

Philip He

Very worth a climb to the top of the dome for fantastic view .

Olena Plaskonis (Spirina)

Amazing view from the dome, really beautiful inside

Barbara Reis

It's a very beautiful and well-conserved building but it is not worth the admission fee. The audioguide is not included in the price and the visit to the top is disappointing (and exausting)

ANK

Beautiful beautiful... worth a visit! But the service is in German ...

thpsycho

Very beautiful building and worth going inside to see

Svein-Magne Tunli

Amazing cathedral . Take a trip to the dome!

Matthias

Just a freaking beautiful sight and walking distance from Alexanderplatz. You do not want to miss out on this! 😉

c0uP

WOW. Hands down the most incredible building I've seen, inside and out. An audible gasp can be heard from everyone that enters.

hannah

worth the admission price for the views at the top

Moe

It has been heavily damaged during the WWII , closed until 1993, its cycles of restoration have continued until 2006.

Emircan Eryılmaz

The Berlin Cathedral has never been a cathedral in the actual sense of that term since it has never been the seat of a bishop.

Hop Hey Lalaley

Surprisingly beautiful building and spectacular view from the dome!

Joe Phoenix
