Traveler reviews
Carl Jacob Schüßler
★★★★★5 months agoThe Soviet War Memorial in Treptower Park is one of the most impressive places you can visit in Berlin. 🕊️ I went there with friends in the summer at around 4 a.m., and we watched the sunrise together. 🌅 The atmosphere was incredible. The park was quiet, the light slowly filled the huge memorial complex, and the whole place felt powerful and peaceful at the same time. A small tip: bring some snacks and something to drink 🥪🥤, sit down somewhere in the park, and just take in the surroundings. Especially at sunrise or sunset 🌇 the place becomes even more special. It is one of those moments where Berlin shows a completely different side. ✨

★★★★★3 months agoAbsolutely must see for all those with interest in WW2. The memorial is very spread out, but not over the top- its actually muted & rather classic. Lots of sculpture and bass reliefs to see. Must visit if you can. Major major combat ops ended with this Memorial. Very Well done
