Festival of Lights from 04-13 October 2024
Atmospheric, colourful – simply magical: the Festival of Lights. The light displays on the capital’s most famous and popular buildings and squares provide a new, fascinating view of Berlin’s sightseeing highlights. The 20th Festival of Lights will take place from 4-13 October 2024 between 19:00 and 23:00.
Jazz in the Ministerial Gardens on 18 October 2024
A festival like Jazz in den Ministergärten is only possible in the German capital. Seven federal states set up jazz stages in the gardens of their neighbouring state representations. Festival guests can wander through the ministerial gardens and listen to top-class jazz groups and soloists perform on stage. A unique musical experience!
Berlin’s museum landscape is great – even for children!
Three examples of many are the Technology Museum, the Museum of Communication and the Futurium.
There is plenty for the whole family to discover in each of the museums – fun and entertainment are guaranteed. Interactive exhibitions and breathtaking exhibits as well as well-stocked museum shops and original cafés will save any rainy day.
Dream on – Berlin, the 90s
Don’t miss the current exhibition “Dream on – Berlin, the 90s” at “c/o Berlin”, the fascinating exhibition centre for photography, architecture and design. The photographs can be seen until 22 January 2025. The show is a must-see for Berlin fans and impressively conveys the feeling of life here in the city in the years after the fall of the Wall. Photographic art at its best, especially in view of the high-calibre artists.
HELMUT NEWTON FOUNDATION
Just a few minutes’ walk away is another jewel of international photographic art, the Museum of Photography. The HELMUT NEWTON FOUNDATION is currently presenting a group exhibition here that is well worth seeing: “Berlin, Berlin. 20 years of the Helmut Newton Foundation”. On display are works with a Berlin connection by Helmut Newton and other famous photographic artists.
