Just outside the S-Bahn station Prenzlauer Allee, you’ll find the futuristic Zeiss Planetarium Theatre. If you're looking for impressive photo opportunities in Berlin, the planetarium's 30-meter dome is a perfect choice. It’s especially picturesque in spring when the cherry trees in front of it are in full bloom. But the planetarium is much more than just an impressive sight.
Every day, especially in the evenings, you can enjoy a variety of spectacular shows. Beginners should try the Astronomie Aktuell program, where the captivating voice of the planetarium director guides you through the latest discoveries in the night sky. For something even more extraordinary, the planetarium hosts concerts, movie screenings, and even yoga sessions under the stars. With high-quality projectors and a state-of-the-art sound system designed specifically for this theater, every experience is unforgettable.
If you arrive early, you can have a picnic on the grass in front of the building or wander through the park behind it. On a rainy day, you can head to one of the nearby cafés for coffee and cake before the show.
