    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.

    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/

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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)

    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.

    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!

    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”

    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.

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

    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

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

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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. You can visit the dome and have nice views of Berlin.

    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.

    Amazing views from the top and affordable - huge dome
  • Best Western Central Europe
    It´s worth paying the admission fee of 5 Euros. It includes a guided tour and admission to the cupola! Great views from the top!

    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)

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

    Don't bother with the audio guide.I personally think the audio guide was too long winded , like attending a lecture. It is a long climb to the top.

    Best view in the city! Easily beats out the TV tower and the Panorama Punkt at Potsdammer Platz!
