The column with its golden angel endearingly called “Golden Lizzy” originally stood right opposite of the Reichstags building and was relocated in 1939 to its current location at the Großer Stern, the 5 point roundabout, as part of redesign vision of Albert Speer. The column is open daily to visitors 9:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.

Visit the Berlin Dome/Cathedral
(Am Lustgarten)

This spectacular cathedral is a favorite photo opportunity for Berlin visitors from the inside and outside. Visitors are welcome Mon-Sat 9 am – 8 pm, Sun 12-8pm. You may have to check in advance whether there are concerts going on that evening, which might close the dome early for visitors.
