Impressive churches in Berlin

Where to start your tour

Visiting the old churches of a city is a great way to learn something about the history, the culture and the religious life of a place. Berlin is no exception. You can see some very interesting churches with a remarkable history and architecture. The biggest and the most impressive of them all is the Berliner Dom built at the end of the 19th century. You can find it near the museum island and for 5€ you can climb on top of the dome. Nikolaikirche is very interesting as it is the oldest church in Berlin, built in the 13th century. You can visit it for free. Friedrichswedersche Kirche, built in 1830, is also located near the museum island and is an excellent place to admire the English Neogothic style. In Bebelplatz, you will find the Domed Church St. Hedwigs Kathedrale, which is the oldest and biggest Catholic Church in Berlin.

Finding Berlin accommodation near the churches

If your are mainly focused on visiting the famous churches of Berlin you will want to find an apartment in Berlin which is close to the area where these can be found. A good advice is to look for Berlin accommodation near the Museum Island or Alexanderplatz. That way you will be in walking distance from the major churches in Berlin. Don`t worry too much about the location of your apartment in Berlin. Anywhere will be fine as you can easily get where you want by S-bahn or U-bahn, but remember that most old churches in the historical center were destroyed in the war, although there still are some nice ones to see there.

Other impressive churches

In Central Berlin in Gendarmenmarkt, you will find the Twintowers of the German and the French Cathedral, which are worth a short visit. A symbolic and very interesting church with a hexagonal bell tower is Kaiser Wilhelm Gedachtniskirche that was built in 1891-1895. If you find yourself in Alexanderplatz visit Marienkirche which has the highest church tower in Berlin, 90 meters high, and is the oldest one in the historical center.
