In the 1970s, Alexanderplatz became an experiment in socialist urban aesthetics. The square is the home to the World Time Clock, a continually rotating installation that shows the time around the globe and Hermann Henselmann’s Haus des Lehrers.

Nothing special

If it hadn't been for Christmas decorations and additional surrounding, its nothing to be impressed about. The area is nice for shopping and hanging around.

Popular place but why?

It is the heritage of the East Germany, full of glass and concrete and empty on character. Very popular among youngsters, migrants and budget tourists - just because it is full of cheap stores and cheap street food options.

As the others say, if you walk around you will find some down the streets that are quite nice or Visit karl marx Allee and you will find a few (this is where the Berlin beer festival is held).
