Head to Friedrichstadt-Palast, the so-called ‘Berlin Broadway’ in recognition of its capacity, size and state-of-the-art effects. Located at the heart of Berlin’s lively Friedrichstrasse, the theater is popular with Berliners and visitors alike, who go to see dazzling dance performances inside its iconic building. The history of the building is nearly as enticing as the shows that take place within it; having started out as a market hall, Friedrichstadt-Palast was reborn as a theater following a lavish makeover by modernist artist Hans Poelzig.

After entering via a reserved entranceway at the side of the theater, your host will usher you upstairs to the Wall Sky Lounge  a luxurious lounge with its own bar and designer leather armchairs. With seating for just six people, it’s an intimate place that offers bird’s-eye views over the auditorium and stage below. Your attentive waiter will serve your welcome glass of champagne and some snacks, before leaving you to enjoy the performance. Additional drinks are also included and food is available for you to order from the lounge’s private bar at your own expense.

Then, sit back and watch the show, seeing acrobatics, dancing, singing and special effects. The full performance lasts 2.5 hours and includes a 25-minute break. Shows take place according to seasonality:
