Square Berlin, Berlin, Germany

What to expect

The Gendarmenmarkt is a beautiful square in the heart of Berlin, featuring an impressive architectural ensemble with the Berlin concert hall, the French and German Churches, and a monumental statue of poet Friedrich Schiller.

Visitors can enjoy the square's historic paving, listen to concerts at the Konzerthaus, learn about German democracy at the German Cathedral, or take in the 360° panorama from the viewing platform of the French Cathedral. The square also hosts a popular Christmas market and is a great place to visit with family and friends
