An honest local take on whether Berlin's paid attractions are worth it: Madame Tussauds, the Berlin Dungeon and LEGOLAND Discovery Centre, who each one suits, and the two that closed for good in 2024.

Planning Berlin with parents? Build a calmer historic-centre day around Alexanderplatz, Museum Island and one useful pause instead of a rushed checklist.

An hour south of Berlin, one of the world’s largest free-standing halls holds a 26 degree beach, a real rainforest and a 27 metre slide tower. Here is how the trains work in 2026, what your group actually pays, and when the dome beats the city.
