Potsdamer Platz, in-App Audio Tour: Berlin's Modernist Marvels
Overview of the tour in Berlin
Take a walk around Potsdamer Platz and learn about Berlin's modernist architecture.
Start your exploration of art at the Historic Traffic Light that has stood on this square for more than a century. Walk over to Winehaus Huth which seems to be a regular wine store until you learnt that it survived all the bombings of World War II.
On your next step, you will be gazing at the Debi's complex designed by Renzo Piano, which has left its mark on the majority of the buildings, almost painting the neighbourhood ochre. On the most lively street, which is Potsdamer Strasse, there stands the Sony Centre. Sneak under the glass roof to study it closer from below, as this construction is one of the most spectacular in the neighbourhood.
Listen then about the Philharmonie where the Berlin Orchestra resides, and learn about how the architecture interweaves with acoustics. Walk across the street to study the Cultural forum and its modernist features, before finishing your tour considering the truly original design of the glass box that Neue Nationalgalerie appears.
Prepare your curiosity and learn about the wonders strewn all over the surroundings of Potsdamer Platz.
