Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom)

Nice cathedral with fabulous views over Berlin if you dare the walk to the dome. It's a lot of steps, but well worth the effort. Has a cafe which seemed well stocked and the normal shop selling bits, bobs and CD's. We went summer on a hot day, so had no issues getting in or to the top. Dome walk in included in the €10 entrance fee, which is nice. Recommended 👍

Didn't visit inside, but even outside it is beautiful and monumental. Definitely will go inside next time and go up to the viewing platform. If you have free time, you can enjoy laying on the grass or sitting on the benches across the cathedral, great view.

Beautiful cathedral that is an easy visit. It is beautiful outside and inside and it is not too large so easy and pleasant tour. They also have services if one opts to join. There are about 270 steps to climb up to the top and the view was magnificent. The climbing up was also not too difficult compare to many other cathedrals because the lower stairs are wide and there are sections to take breaths if needed.

Located perfectly in an area with many other sights of Berlin, this cathedral should also be put on your must-see in the city. It is beautiful inside as well as a viewing area after a climb up a staircase (a bit of a climb). The views are not better than the tower bit still are very nice for the area. Stop by the audio kiosks to hear about the history of church and religion - very well done. Thanks.

Our visit to the Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom) was a memorable and enriching experience, deserving of a solid four stars. The cathedral stands majestically on Museum Island, showcasing stunning baroque architecture that captivates from the moment you approach. Its impressive dome, often considered one of the largest in Germany, provides a stunning backdrop to the surrounding landscape, making it a sight to behold. However, I must admit that the €10 entrance fee to the cathedral felt somewhat unwarranted, especially when compared to other iconic religious sites like the Vatican, where entry is free. While I understand that maintenance and preservation of such historic structures require funding, it still feels a bit disheartening to pay for access to a place of worship. Despite my initial reservations about the entry fee, once inside, we were truly enchanted by the cathedral's grandeur. The interior is breathtaking, adorned with intricate mosaics, beautiful stained glass windows, and remarkable sculptures that highlight its historical significance. The chance to explore the crypt, where numerous Prussian kings and notable figures are buried, added a fascinating layer to our visit. We also climbed to the dome’s observation deck, which offers stunning panoramic views of Berlin and is absolutely worth the effort. Standing atop the dome, you can truly appreciate the city's blend of history and modernity. In conclusion, while the entry fee remains a point of contention, our visit to the Berlin Cathedral was still an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. The architectural beauty, rich history, and captivating views make it a must-see when in Berlin. Just be prepared to consult your budget before entering!
