Museums


In over 150 museums, Berlin houses the knowledge, history and arts of mankind. First and foremost is the World Heritage Site on the Museum Island with the Bode, the Pergamon, the Old and New Museums and the Old National Gallery. But Berlin is not only the city of museums and antique collections, but also a talent factory for modern art production. Here, creative people from all over the world create the works for the art collections of tomorrow. The capital draws from this creative pool and sets new trends in contemporary art with its numerous galleries and international exhibitions.

Literature


In no other German city have poets, writers and novelists left as many literary traces as in Berlin:

From Heinrich Heine to Theodor Fontane, Alfred Döblin, Kurt Tucholsky and Erich Kästner to Bertolt Brecht and Günter Grass. Whether in prose or poetry, they all left their very individual mark on the city, choosing the metropolis as the stage for romantic essays, satirical novellas or as the setting for socially critical novels.

Visitors to Berlin can take part in amusing and diverse literary city tours and walk in the footsteps of famous writers and their protagonists.

Music


Berlin's concert halls do not only fascinate with the uniqueness of the perfection they present, but also with their varied program offerings. The scale ranges from the world-famous Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and the well-known musical stages to the small and original jazz cellars. The capital has a repertoire worth listening to for every musical taste.

Cabaret


Berlin has always been the capital of classic variety shows, frivolous revues and sharp-tongued political cabaret. Up to now, the capital has lost none of this attractiveness. Get your own impression of it and let yourself be taken into the magical world of the variety stages or be carried away with cabaret satire into the real everyday life of German politics.

Movie


Not only since Billy Wilder's cult film "ONE, TWO, THREE" has Berlin been a backdrop for great cinema:

The capital is a Mecca for cineastes and since the fall of the wall - rediscovered - a film location for numerous national and international film productions. It is therefore no coincidence that the international film festival with the BERLINALE presents productions from all over the world here.

Not least with the German cinematheque at Potsdamer Platz and its cinematographic collection on German film, as well as exhibits from the estate of Marlene Dietrich, Berlin has institutionalized film history and made it tangible for cinema fans from all over the world.
