From the sly Berlin Hotel, you can reach many of Berlin's sights and cultural institutions in a maximum of 30 minutes by public transport. The East Side Gallery, for example, is just a short streetcar ride away: Around 118 artists immortalized themselves on the longest remaining section of the Wall after it came down in 1990. The most famous motif is probably “The Brother's Kiss” by Dmitri Wrubel. In the neighboring district of Kreuzberg is the largest Jewish Museum in Europe, which presents the history and culture of Jews in Germany.
The majority of cultural institutions are located in the Berlin-Mitte district. The Konzerthaus am Gendarmenmarkt is all about classical music; in the Maxim Gorki Theater, which is not far away, you can watch contemporary productions. The Staatsoper Unter den Linden is the oldest opera house in Berlin and transports many classical operas into the modern era.
The program at the Admiralspalast in Friedrichstraße is varied: from pop concerts to comedy and musicals to dance performances, everything here revolves around entertainment. You can admire similarly brilliant shows at the Friedrichstadtpalast revue theater, the largest stage in the capital.
Museum Island is home to some of the largest and most important museums in Berlin, such as the Pergamon Museum, which currently houses the collection of antiquities including the famous Pergamon Altar. In the Alte Nationalgalerie, just one building away, you can admire sculptures and paintings from the 19th century. Not far from the Museum Island, the DDR Museum makes life and everyday life in the GDR tangible. The interactive exhibition is also explicitly aimed at children and families.
At the Chamäleon Theater in Hackesche Höfe, you can witness breathtaking acrobatics and dance performances. And of course, Berlin also has a whole range of charming art house cinemas: Not far from the hotel, for example, the Filmtheater am Friedrichshain or, in the warmer months, the Freiluftkino Friedrichshain!
