There are three large buildings: The German and the French Cathedral and Schinkel's Konzerthaus. If you are into classical music I highly recommend wisiting this place since its absolute creme de la creme in Europe.

Beautiful part of the city, with two magnificent cathedrals (French and German) stood side by side. Well worth a visit.

Gendarmenmarkt is a lovely place to stop off, marvel at the beautiful architecture, people watch whilst resting your weary feet. It has a relaxed vibe and is good to visit both during the day and evening. There are plenty of decent restaurants and bars around...More

Stumbled on this quake without realising it was the Gendarmenmarkt. It is a lovely place to sit and spend time. We visited the German church which is now a museum and free but unfortunately the exhibits are entirely in German and therefore difficult to get...More

There are two beautiful churches one in front of the other. The area in between hosts a nice market, and I understand that you must visit it during Christmas markets season.

This is the Platz in front of the Koncert hall. The Platz is boring. Beyond boring. Nothing but flat rocks laid flat. You will need to walk on it in order to get to the Koncert hall.

This is a wonderful square to visit. The architecture of the buildings is magnificent and there are lots of bars and restaurants around to just sit and enjoy the ambiance of the place.
