“My top pick of things to see and do”
Berlin is packed with scientific inspiration, but here are a few standout experiences I always recommend for Science groups:
German Museum of Technology
The place to discover the history and science behind the appliances and things we use every day
Berlin Life Science Learning Lab
Perform experiments in a laboratory setting
SPECTRUM Berlin Science Centre
Explore science and technology through over 150 interactive exhibits
Berlin Zoo & Aquarium
The Berlin Zoological Garden is the oldest and internationally most well-known zoo in Germany.
Berlin TV Tower
Discover Berlin from 207 metres in the air
Spree River Cruise
A cruise along the River Spree is a great way to see the city from a different angle.
Funkturm
The Funkturm offers a wonderful panorama over Berlin.
German Museum of Technology
The Deutsches Technikmuseum is a museum of science and technology, and is the place to find out about the history and science behind the appliances and things we use every day. The museum presents a broad spectrum of old and new technology including film & media topics; Film Technology, Photo Technology, Writing & Printing.
Berlin Life Science Learning Lab
These 3.5 hour courses allow students to perform experiments in a lab setting, such as extracting the DNA from a tomato.
SPECTRUM Berlin Science Centre
How does a battery work? Why is the sky blue? What is the principle behind a pulley block? These and hundreds of other questions are answered at SPECTRUM, the Berlin Science Center in the restored portal sector of the former freight station building.
The themes covered are; electricity and magnetism, heat and temperature, light and vision, mechanics and motion, microcosmos – macrocosmos, music and sound, seeing and perception.
Berlin Zoo & Aquarium
With the largest number of different species of its kind, Berlin Zoo and Aquarium provides terrariums and aquariums for over 9,000 animals and almost 800 species. Today everyone talks about biodiversity, here at zoo and aquarium you can experience it.
Berlin TV Tower
From 207 metres high you can look out over the entire city with its large number of tourist attractions: you can see the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate and the Main Railway Station from here, as well as the Olympic Stadium, Museum Island and Potsdamer Platz.
Spree River Cruise
A cruise along the River Spree flows through old and new Berlin and is a great way to see the city from a different angle. The Historical Tour is a one hour round trip; highlights include Palace of Republic, Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island and the Reichstag.
Funkturm
The Funkturm, known colloquially as “langer Lulatsch” (“lanky lad”), offers a wonderful panorama over Berlin. The total height of the filigreed construction is 150 m; there is a restaurant at 55 m, and a viewing platform at 126 m. By day, it offers a panoramic view over the city’s houses, the Grunewald forest and the surrounding lakes; by night, visitors can marvel at a city awash in a glittering sea of lights.

“My top tips”
Here’s how to make the most out of your Science trip to Berlin.
Give out small jobs
Little jobs and responsibilities help students feel trusted and involved.
Be present
Capture memories mindfully – photos are great, but so is soaking it all in.
Routine = reassurance
Familiar patterns help students feel secure abroad.
