"The incredible dome of Berlin’s cathedral – ‘The Berliner Dom’, is one of the main landmarks of the Berlin skyline. This beautifully designed church, including Italian High Renaissance and Baroque influences is a must see when visiting.
Unfortunately, the Hohenzollern crypt was not accessible due to restorations when I visited but is said to reopen once the refurbishment is complete so I would recommend checking online as the crypt holds a vast array of ornate and fascinating sarcophagi!
In the main hall, I was still able to see the large gold coated coffins of Frederick I, King of Prussia and his first wife Sophia Charlotte. These lavish death cases of German royalty feature a selection of extraordinary details including a mourning woman, skulls, cherubs, birds and a robed figure similar to the grim reaper.
Also, during my visit, I was lucky enough to experience one of the Church’s outstanding choirs performing, which created a hair-raising atmosphere, whilst admiring the magnificent architecture of the building.

"Breathtakingly gorgeous- both the church and the views. Even on the dreary, foggy day that I visted, the panorama from the dome was incredible.
Located near many of the popular museums, this cathedral is absolutely worth a visit.
Price: 10 EUR for adults, 7.50 EUR reduced (students, severely disabled, pass holders, etc.; a full list is available on the site).
How to get there: The Museumsinsel stop on the U5 is a 5-minute walk from the cathedral. From Alexanderplatz, board the train in the direction of Berlin Hbf."

"One of the most beautiful churches in Berlin with a lavish decorated interior and exterior. If you fancy a nice view around the surrounding city center, then you can climb to the roof of the cathedral."
