Our multimedia audio guide accompanies you through the history of Berlin and the Französischer Dom with exciting stories, historical images, and anecdotes. After your visit, you can enjoy French-inspired cuisine at the Hugo & Notte restaurant – or treat yourself to a glass of Crémant right on the platform.

But the Französischer Dom is more than just a viewing platform: discover the history of the Huguenots in the museum, experience concerts with exceptional acoustics, or celebrate your events in a historic setting. A place full of history, culture, and unforgettable views in the heart of Berlin.
