Would you like to find out more about the highlights of Charlottenburg? Then you should definitely read on!

Radio tower

While the television tower in the city of Berlin captivates visitors, the almost 150-metre-high radio tower in the Charlottenburg district attracts visitors. The 600-ton steel lattice structure, which is now a listed building, was erected back in 1926. Today, the pioneer of German radio history welcomes you with a fantastic viewing platform at a lofty height of 125 meters and a fabulous restaurant 55 meters above the ground. Don't miss the chance to get a bird's eye view of the exhibition grounds directly below the radio tower or the western part of the city. Or enjoy the unique illuminations of the tower during the Festival of Lights! You can find out more about the tower on the RBB website.

Olympic Stadium

As early as 1909, Otto March had a 2,400-metre-long racecourse built near Grunewald in the Charlottenburg Wilmersdorf district. Just in time for the 1936 Olympic Games, the German March family of architects then built a huge earth stadium with space for around 100,000 spectators in the middle of this Wilmersdorf facility. This made the Olympic Stadium the largest and most modern stadium in the world at the time. At the same time, the impressive facility was expanded to include the Maifeld, the Olympic Tower, the Waldbühne and a field hockey, equestrian and swimming stadium. The Olympic Stadium was then modernized between 2000 and 2004 according to the plans of the Hamburg architectural firm GMP. Today, the stadium is the home ground of Hertha BSC and can be visited during various exciting guided tours.

Brücke Museum

The unique Brücke Museum awaits visitors not far from Grunewald. Lots of color, expressions and plenty of art make a trip to the low-rise building a very special experience. Thanks to its accessibility, a visit is also possible for every visitor to Berlin. Marvel at the 400 or so paintings, colorful sculptures, drawings, prints and watercolors by the Brücke group of artists. As there is no larger coherent collection of expressionist artists in this form anywhere else, you should plan enough time to visit the museum and enjoy your stay to the full.

Charlottenburg Palace

The beautiful Charlottenburg Palace is one of the undisputed highlights of Charlottenburg. No wonder, as the former summer palace is the largest palace complex in the city and not only impresses with its unique architecture, but also with the Orangery and its beautiful garden, which borders directly on the palace. The palace was built between 1695 and 1699 by Arnold Nering on behalf of Elector Frederick III. The elector had planned the palace for his wife Sophie Charlotte and had it extended shortly after his coronation in 1701. Today, the rooms of the palace house an interesting museum that introduces visitors to the history and treasures of the Hohenzollerns. So if you want to experience the splendor and glory of times long past, you should visit both the palace and the palace garden.

Stüler Building

The two Stüler buildings are located opposite Charlottenburg Palace. Each Stüler Building was originally intended as an officers' barracks for the Royal Guard under King Frederick William IV. Later, the Stüler Building was used as a training center for the security police during the Nazi dictatorship. Today, the two well-known monuments are used by the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, which ran the Egyptian Museum and the Museum of Antiquities here until German reunification. The two buildings currently house various art collections, including prints and sculptures from the classical modern period.

Samovar

If your stomach is rumbling after so many impressions, you can make yourself comfortable in the Samowar. This excellent Russian restaurant has been around since 1979 and impresses every day with classic delicacies that have been passed down from generation to generation. So let the seljodka pod shuboi, pelmeni, vareniki or the high-calorie Napoleon cake melt in your mouth. Enjoy culinary delicacies and fortify yourself for the next highlights of Charlottenburg.

Halensee

Halensee is the smallest district of Charlottenburg and yet worth every trip. Whether by car or by train, don't miss this charming part of Berlin not far from Kurfürstendamm. Anything but old or uninteresting, the picturesque estate of villas and apartment buildings still delights visitors today with its numerous impressive buildings. These include the Hochmeisterkirche on the square of the same name, St. Albertus Magnus Church, the French Huguenot Church and the beautiful Henriettenplatz.
