A good place to visit, especially when the open market is on. There are good transport links here and plenty to see, the Sony Center which is not just the shop, there are restaurants and a cinema. It's a pleasant area to wander around with a lot of effort having been put into the modern appearance and the famous roof.

For decades after WWII a piece of barren land, this area is being rebuilt again with 21st century architecture - just for the architecture alone worth a visit. This place houses quite some movie theaters

An extraordinary square which was builded after 90's in an empty place where all buildings destroyed after the 2nd world war (and for this reason they called it no man's land) .Only a part of the famous hotel Esplanade remains near Sony center which is the attraction building of the square with the fantastic covered atrium. One of the loveliest... More

We can call it the centre of Berlin. A place Berlin wall used to pass through and there was 250 meters of no-man's land on the Eastern side. Used to be a barren land till about 15 years ago. Once the Berlin wall was brought down, it was developed in a fantastic shopping and entertainment place. I have always taken... More

There was a small Christmas Market and all the light were on. Legoland is also very close-by, so a must see in winter.

I can't say I was remotely interested in the malls etc round here, but I did like seeing some more remnants of the wall, even if one was particularly disgusting as hundreds of people had stuck their gum on it!

I found the modern architecture of Potsdamer Platz quite interesting. I read some history about the area before the Second World War and the configurations of the modern buildings seem to replicate the pattern of the road junction that existed there many years ago. It was with that sense of history I felt inspired by the modern buildings and the... More

Heard so much about it that when I got there I really did say 'so is this it?' A modern traffic junction that off to one side has cinemas. Not much to see

We spent some time in the shopping mall and found it nicely sign posted. Although there was a significant amount of roadworks which made it quite hard to navigate around the city, it seems like many of the roads lead to Postsdamer Platz.
