01 Checkpoint Charlie Museum

Checkpoint Charlie, the most well-known of the border crossings between East and West, is now one of Berlin’s most popular tourist attractions. At the Checkpoint Charlie Museum unique artefacts including many of the contraptions used by those who tried to cross illegally, and works inspired by the division, will vividly bring the past to life for your students.

02 East Side Gallery

East Berliners breached the Wall on 9 November 1989, and between February and June of 1990, 118 artists created unique works of art on its longest-remaining section. This open-air gallery serves as a memorial for freedom. One of the best-known works, by Russian artist Dmitri Vrubel, depicts Brezhnev and Honnecker (the former East German leader) kissing.

03 Museum of Musical Instruments

A visit to this museum at the Kulturforum presents a perfect chance for students interested in music to explore some of the 2200 instruments on display, some of which date back to the 16th century. Objects including a portable harpsichord once owned by Prussia’s Queen Sophie Charlotte, flutes from the collection of Frederick the Great and Benjamin Franklin’s glass harmonica.

04 Blue Man Group

At the modern BLUEMAX theatre in Potsdamer Platz the Blue Man Group is a unique experience and a great evening entertainment for groups. Berlin is the only place in Europe where the show can be seen.  The show is an upbeat and exciting mix of live music, comedy and visual effects and non-verbal which makes it an ideal choice for international groups.

05 Berlin Television Tower (Fernsehturm)

This 368-metre tower dominates the city skyline and is the tallest building in Germany. The Tower was built in the 1960s by the East German Government not least to demonstrate the strength and efficiency of the socialist party system. The observation deck at 203 metres includes Berlin’s highest bar and there is a revolving restaurant at a height of 207 metres. Combine your visit with Berlin Odyssey, a virtual reality time travel experience through 9 centuries of Berlin history, available at 203 metres.

2 hours See on map
06 Topography of Terror museum

This outdoor museum and information centre is on the site of the former headquarters of the Gestapo and the SS. By finding out about the destructive effects of Nazi state terror, students gain a humanising insight into the history of totalitarianism in Germany, and its implications for the world today. They learn important lessons not only for exams, but also for their broader development.

Performance venues

Berlin Cathedral In addition to the organ recitals on the large Sauer organ and the performances of the two Cathedral choirs and the Cathedral Brass Band, visiting groups are also invited to sing at Mass or give concerts here.
Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church The original church was badly bombed in 1943; only the damaged spire remains and is nowadays a Memorial Hall. Performances are used to help finance the maintenance of the organ which has 5,000 pipes.
Marienkirche, AlexanderPlatz This medieval church on Alexanderplatz is well known for its fresco depicting the Dance of Death which dates from 1485. Choral performances and organ recitals are regularly arranged.
Teehaus, Tiergarten For groups wishing to perform outside, we recommend this popular summer concert series in the Tiergarten Park. A popular, light repertoire is preferred for this venue and groups need to pass an audition before they are accepted to perform here. We strongly recommend you apply early
