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 .

Artyom Fedosov

Posh neighborhood , tall buildings, facades made of steel and glass, you know. Don't miss a chance to look on Sony Center from the inside, their umbrella-like tent roof looks so futuristic.

Nischay Mohan

Trendy , 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.

Joanne Moussa

Looks a lot like Manhattan, very different than the rest of historical Berlin. Beautiful architecture with lots of restaurants and iMAX theaters .

Maria Köhler

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.

The Telegraph

Head 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 Center

Astrid C.

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!

SandyInBerlin

Go 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. Video: Read more

They have a few old pieces of the wall here and some bits of knowledge posted on them. It's a great quick read and interesting to see the line along the ground showing where the wall once was.

Impressive and stylish place , with historical note. Here you can find an exposition of Berlin Wall and make a pictures

The Winter World at Potsdamer Platz kicked last Friday. It's open until January 6th so you have plenty of time to visit and try out the largest mobile toboggan run in Europe! Read more

This 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 .

Andrew BC 翁 ÔNG

Sophisticated modern high rise skyscrapers versus small pieces of Berlin Wall

Joe Cooper

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 !

Darleny Lopez

Love it! I came in December and there was a Christmas fair , lovely space and you get to see the modern building of Berlin

I like that square. Huge and central. You can find any kind of activities as a tourist .

Perhaps 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.

Phat Buoy

The centre of new Berlin - so much history to read about in this area. Lots of high end hotels and US chain shops around here

Josh Labove

More 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.

Lisa Christine

Interesting 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).

Sarah Kerton

Beautiful architecture , huge S bahn station and a great view down to the Reichstag

Rusty Shackleford

Beautiful buildings at sunset . Very modern and lots of restaurants around

Phat Buoy

Worth 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.

Vueling

Its 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/QPxfkx

Josephine

Potsdamer Platz is a city within the city . Great office area but is missing the Berlin atmosphere.

Jake Smith

Brush up on your Berlin Wall history with a very informative group of panels (actually mounted on a part of the wall).

Ben Baron

A great location to people watch . The Christmas market during the winter takes up nearly the entire plaza .

Frederik Verleye

Don't forget this place when you visit Berlin, there's a lot to do in this area

Aolani Smythe

Amazing plaza where the first traffic lights were installed here. Recommendable to visit at, indeed!

Hoda Mahmoud

Nice country side of Berlin. People are very organized . The only disadvantage it was super hot and there were no AC around

Efthimis L 

You can find pretty much everything around this Platz! Also one of the must-visit venues in Berlin, don't miss it! :))

B-Town

Christmas Market with sled run (12 metres high, 70 metres long), curling and ice skating . When: November 27th until December 26th 2017. Opening Hours: 10am until 10pm. Entrance: Free.

Marina Matijaca

Get on the top floor of Starbucks, enjoy the view and your Vanilla Latte . Damn it's mesmerizing!

Lukas

Nice architecture , famous shops and a place to be.

Marianna Sokratous

You should visit the Dali museum . It is very nice and cheap , 12 euro per person.

Emma Wijninga

Large, modern and lacking green stuff, but hey: look around, see the architecture . Isn't this place cool and photogenic?

HerrLatte

Take a minute to stand still and enjoy the panorama of the Potsdamer Platz.

Francisco Cano

Definitely an architectural highlight in Berlin. Great spot to take some pictures.

Nelly Kaufmann

If you are looking for good food and no tourist rip-off, try the Coa (right next to the Mariott Hotel and the Vapiano)

Aleš Nešetřil

Modern buildings and skyscrapers . I recommend visiting at night, lights looks awesome.

Drew Christien

A bit touristy but the architecture is can't miss. Wonderful for a stroll.

Vasilis

really nice place combining shopping, movies , coffee , diner and drink!

Hector

Downtown city feel to this neighborhood , large mall near by too.

Lili Miss

Beautiful #place where you can see pieces of #berlinwall

Moritz Bleiblieb

Look up! Have your smartphone ready (photo shot & edited with iPhone5 )

LukaSH

Skyscrapers , woohoo! And the first traffic light of Berlin! ;)

Cornelia Kausch

Unbelievable what this turned out after over 20 years of the fall of the wall. No mans land turned into an exciting landmark in the heart of the city

Michael Holdsworth

Nice square with interesting modern architecture .

William Studart

Very modern platz with some remnants of the Berlin Wall .

HashtagNYU

Super historical place, but you can't really tell with how modernized it looks now. Read more
