About
Greiti faktai: Walkers notice a constant hum of traffic, cinema trailers and tram clatter under a skyline of glass and steel that mirrors neon and weather like a living film. Step out at dusk and the plaza becomes a festival of light and sound, with open-air screenings, pop-up exhibitions, and a stream of office workers and night owls keeping the energy electric.
Svarbiausi dalykai: A spectacular glass-and-steel canopy by Helmut Jahn crowns the complex and at night the canopy pulses with colored lights, while a glass elevator rockets visitors to the 24th-floor Panoramapunkt in about 20 seconds for dizzying views. Beneath your feet a jagged brass line and darker cobbles trace the exact course of the old border, a tactile, almost theatrical reminder that the bright, cinema-lined square grew out of the scarred no-man's-land left after 1989.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the square connects to pedestrian routes and nearby museums so expect walking.
- Head to Panoramapunkt just before sunset on weekdays to avoid long queues and get the best light for photos.
- Photograph the Sony Center from the ground-level concourse at night and capture reflections from across the plaza.
- Skip the busiest lunch hour near the mall cafés, try mornings or late afternoon for quieter seating and faster service.
