The Berlin Cathedral is located in the northern side of Spree Island. Situated on Museum Island in the heart of the city, the cathedral is a magnificent example of Neo-Renaissance and Baroque Revival architecture. Visitors can climb around 280 steps to the dome's observation platform for a stunning 360-degree view of Berlin. Lockers for bags and coats are available for €1 or €2.
The Hohenzollern royal family, living in the adjacent Berlin Castle, so felt that the modest domed cathedral that existed back then, was not on a parity with their stature. King Frederick William IV thus decided to build this magnificent cathedral. The green dome is ofcourse the most alluring feature of the cathedral. Although it suffered severe damage during the world war, a lot of it has been restored by the GDR. There are some over 100 coffins in the Crypt of the Hohenzollern royals, amidst the matrimonial chapels and the Cathedral Museum. The top pf the dome is accessible and affords a bird's eye view of the city.
