Visitors service

Since 1 March 2026, following the completion of the renovation of the Hohenzollern Crypt, you can once again experience and explore Berlin Cathedral in all its splendour. This includes the Imperial Staircase, the Pulpit Church, the Baptismal and Wedding Chapel, the Hohenzollern Crypt, the Cathedral Museum, the Cathedral Shop, the Cathedral Café, and the breathtaking panoramic view of the city of Berlin from a height of 50 metres above the dome of Berlin Cathedral.

Visits are generally possible at the following times:

Monday - Friday: 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Saturday: 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Sunday: 12 - 6 p.m.

Last admission: 5 p.m.

Please note that last admission is 60 minutes before closing time, after which the individual areas of the cathedral will be closed in turn. To explore Berlin Cathedral in detail, including the free audio guide, we recommend allowing approximately 1.5 hours for your visit.

Opening hours may vary in individual cases due to church services and events. Please therefore check our daily updated opening times in the calendar before your visit.

Your admission fee supports Berlin Cathedral!

Unlike other church parishes, the Berlin Cathedral parish must generate 97% of its annual budget itself. Only 3% comes from church taxes and grants from the State of Berlin. We require approximately 17,000 euros per day to cover the upkeep of the listed building, musicians, church services, heating, electricity, security, staff and more.

Discover Berlin Cathedral in a whole new way with our entertaining audio guide system. Your audio guide is included in the admission price and allows you to enjoy an independent and informative tour of Berlin Cathedral. It guides you through the impressive architecture and offers deeper insights into the significance, art history and use of this unique building. This makes your visit not only informative, but also a more immersive and memorable experience.

Once the extensive refurbishment and renovation work has been completed, Berlin Cathedral will be fully accessible from March 2026. This means that people with reduced mobility will now also be able to enjoy a barrier-free tour of the main sanctuary, the baptistery and wedding chapel, the Hohenzollern crypt, the cathedral shop, the cathedral café and the cathedral museum.

To ensure a pleasant and respectful atmosphere during your visit to Berlin Cathedral, we ask all visitors to observe the house rules. These help to preserve the special atmosphere of this place and ensure that everyone can enjoy a safe and dignified visit. Thank you for your consideration and understanding.

Please note that rucksacks, bags and carrier bags larger than A3 size are not permitted inside Berlin Cathedral. This also applies to suitcases and luggage of any kind. This rule applies across the board to tours, concerts and church services alike. It is in place to protect our visitors and the building’s valuable interior.

In the basement, which we ask you to visit before your visit, there are lockers which you are welcome to use for your luggage. However, the number of lockers is limited. We therefore recommend that you leave large bags and luggage at home, particularly for popular events such as our cathedral concerts and major church services.

Thank you in advance for your understanding!
