One of the most famous orchestras in the world, I grew up listening to and appreciating the programs by Karajan, so it was really rewarding to finally come to the venue and attend a concert of my childhood dream. The outside of philharmonic building was not that impressive, but the inside music hall and its acoustics really is top of the world. I will subscribe Digital Concert Hall service to watch and appreciate the programs at Berlin Philharmonic all year long! I came to visit twice the temple of classical music. Cheers!

I went to the free lunch concert on Wednesdays of young future musicians. It was very emocional and impressive. I am planing to go every time I can. It’s unique and hopefully impacts me in an other ways.

I saw that they offered a free lunchtime concert and made sure to add it to my itinerary! I arrived an hour early and there was already a short queue to get in. Once inside, there is free coat check. You can pretty much sit wherever there’s a spot available! As you can see, some folks are just sitting on the stairway. Luckily as I was early, I was able to go lineup and grab a bowl of goulash along with a glass of wine to enjoy the show (~10€). The sound really carries in the venue and it was a wonderful way to spend an hour or so of my day, highly recommended. Absolutely beautiful music and performance!

Comfy seats. Good acoustics. Nice crowd. You can leave your stuff for free. Intermission lines are quite long so hurry up:) Opens 1h before.

Wir waren zur 9. Sinfonie von Beethoven. Das Klangerlebnis war einmalig. Beim 4. Akt hätte ich doch beinahe mitgesungen. 🤭😅 Von der Bausubstanz her könnte es etwas moderner gestaltet werden. Die Treppen und Ränge sind okay. Alles ist sehr gut zu erreichen und man hat von überall her eine gute Sicht. Wir sind begeistert.

Amazing place to book orchestra night! Be sure to dress up, but if you don’t it’s fine like us. We forgot to bring any dress on travel. Enjoy!

Ask for FFP2 mask all time for over 3 hours performance indoor while the gov regulation requires only medical mask. Also they have seats FULLY open so that everyone seats besides each other shoulder by shoulder without keeping audiences 1.5m distance from each other… hard to understand their logic.

Miss being able to attend live concerts! Enjoy concerts, music, art, culture, and so many more at the places. Wonderful acoustic at the venue. Lovely and talented musicians and staffs at the place!

Much more beautiful inside than outside. We attended the piano concert of Chopin by Sachiko Furuhata, an unforgettable evening. She was indeed magical.

Great acoustics. Choose carefully the performing orchestra as it can be a hit or miss. Go for Berlin Philharmoniker if you can. Not the others.

Die Philharmonie ist eine großartige Location mit tollem Ambiente. Es gibt für die Zuschauer mehrere Ebenen bzw. Ränge und Logen, die sich teilweise bis hinter die Bühne erstrecken. Oberhalb der Bühne ist seitlich eine große Orgel. Die Akustik im Saal ist super. Das Foyer ist riesig. Es gibt dort Garderoben sowie Getränke und Snacks. Auch für Rollstuhlfahrer ist gesorgt, es gibt Rampen und Lifts. Die Toiletten sind sehr sauber.

I came for the Wednesday lunchtime concert and it was amazing. The music was so good and it's such a cool thing to offer these free events. The space filled up very quickly, so I didn't have a great spot where I could see the stage, but even in the foyer the sound carries so well and I could still hear the music perfectly. Interesting building as well, I need to come back to see inside some of the stages sometime!

Beautifully acoustically perfect venue with virtually no bad seat possible for listening to a whole raft of music genres. If you are into music and live in Berlin, this is a must visit. Cheaper seats at the top are still fantastic for sound, so you don't need to spend a lot for the front row. There are cloakrooms on more than one level, so don't panic and queue up on the ground floor. There are less queues the higher you go. Book in advance and try late availability as it's hardly ever completely full. One other tip would be to really look at your tickets and take note of where you will be sitting as I have been twice now and on both occasions we saw people being moved as they were sitting in the wrong seat. These were not tourists, but Germans, but even so, for us non Germans please note that in Germany they split auditoriums like this into rechts(right} or links(left) and label seats identically in both. In other words, there are 2 seats with the same seat number on them. There is a map just by main entrance on the left as you go into the building, and this has proven very helpful. Arrive 30 mins before the performance and enjoy.

(Translated by Google) Perfect place. Mozart symphony. You can buy your pretzels before entering. A bar is available, possibility to order toast and drinks for intermission. Architecture of the 60s with pretty suspensions. Access to a garden or to the terrace when the weather is nice, it's very pleasant. Medium comfort seats. We can see almost all the places and the acoustics are good. Possibility to park your bike in front of the Philharmonie! (Original) Perfect place. Mozart symphonie. Il est possible d'acheter ses bretzels avant d'entrer. Un bar est à disposition, possibilité de commander toasts et boissons pour l'entracte. Architecture des années 60 avec de jolies suspensions.

Possibilité de garer son vélo devant la philharmonie !

(Translated by Google) It was my first time in the Philharmonie. Nested seating arrangement. You sit around the stage. Great sound up to the top. Bus stop nearby. A great evening. (Original) Ich war zum ersten Mal in der Philharmonie. Verschachtelte Sitzanordnung. Man sitzt um die Bühne herum. Toller Klang bis oben. Bushaltestelle in der Nähe. Ein runder Abend.

Fantastic experience. We went for The Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 by Tchaikovsky with Lisa batiashvili as 🎻. It was an amazing night, it was to celebrate the new year’s of 2017 and it was mesmerising. The building itself is also very interesting and you can not admire this amazing place, the sheer grandness and acoustics is second to none. Thank you all so much for a wonderful evening to remember.

Beautiful orchestra. Went there for the new years concert, they played Ode to Joy, and it was really mesmerising.

Only one of my favorite places in Berlin... And in the world. Best show I attended there, a concert of Martha Argerich directed by Daniel Barenboim.

Impressive building and saal! What an experience. At least once in your life, you should listen to a classical concert in here.

The place is amazing, acoustics are top, whether you sit in the last row or in front. There is no dress code when you attend a concert, people usually dress from super informal to super formal.

Joined a public tour of the Berlin Philharmonic building. Fantastic! The tour was relaxed and informal. We got lots of really good information and we got to see both halls from the inside: the large concert hall and the smaller one. Fascinating! Interesting aspect that the whole building has a very democratic aspect. From last minute reduced tickets to access for all. At the end of the €10 tour we received free codes for the online digital concert series.

I attended a private event here and found the experience very nice. The space is large and was able to hold many people. The inside of the concert hall is beautiful and designed in a way that allows for all guests to have a good viewing and listening experience no matter their location. I look forward to returning for a public concert.

Nice architecture! A landmark building from the early 60s right at the edge of Tiergarten park. The textured yellow/mustard colored facade cladding makes this building unique in many ways.

Akustisch ein perfekter Ort. Ich hatte schon an unterschiedlichen Plätzen dort Musik erlebt, aber war niemals vom Klang enttäuscht. Das muss man erlebt haben.

Hübscher Saal, beeindruckende Orgel, interessanter Klang im Saal, Es macht dort großen Spaß, eine Vorführung zu erleben. Ich war am 6. Januar mit The Dark Tenor dort und fand es klasse. Gerne wieder. Wirklich eine tolle Akustik.

Lucky to see the Alphaville 40th Anniversary - the Symphonic Tour here in June 2023. It's a incredible building, and the auditorium is no standard shape. The acoustics were phenomenal, and we really enjoyed the evening's entertainment.

We went to the wednesday concert, so so lovely. It was free, but I suggest you arrive early, especially if you want to have a chair!

Amazing concert hall, every seat has a view of some or all of the orchestra. The seats are banked such that it would need to be an exceptionally tall person in front to restrict your view. The design of the roof increases the acoustic balance. Fabulous performances full of energy, emotion and vitality. Visited on 28/9/2023

beautiful venue, great acoustics, music with lots of energy and drive. unfortunately the glamorous cafetierias scattered around the big foyer are not public spaces, and you can access only if you have a concert ticket.

Stunning modern architecture inside as well as outside. It makes impression when you are during the concert and the audience is literally all around the scene!

Beautiful architecture. Amazing classical music FREE concert every Tuesday at 1 PM. It’s called lunch concert since it takes place just as people get their lunch break. Open to everybody, tourists as well.

Do i need to explain? Best hall and best orchestra

Every Tuesday a free concert is held at lunch. I really liked it. There were many people, but there was enough space for everyone. Everything is well organized.

A one of a kind home for the Philharmoniker since 1963; the acoustics are phenomenal; the orchestra is legendary

I visited there to listen free music lunch concert which happens every Tuesday at 1:00pm. One should reach before this time as it get packed with loads of people.

Apart from a fantastic show, the building is beautiful by itself. We arrived there in a rush after work, ended up finding great small dish selections. Taxis were available right outside after the show to get back to the hotel.

Really enjoyed the concert and the hall. Good sightlines from all seats. Good acoustics from ours, which were behind and to the left of the orchestra. Plan ahead, tickets sell out well in advance of concert.

Se ciò non bastasse tutti i giovedì pomeriggio sono programmati concerti gratuiti nella loro hall. Consiglio però di prenotare i biglietti online almeno 3 mesi prima se si vogliono trovare posti disponibili

Wow. The memories of this place are incredible. What a venue and evening. Outstanding music. Stunning building. Super interesting stage and layout. Sound quality was magnificent! We sat right in the middle just a little back to get a great sound experience, but to be honest, the way it was laid out, I think it would have been just as magical sat anywhere! Highly highly recommended. Fantastic evening and the staff were all lovely and courteous.

One of the bestt classic music halls !

Just amazing. One of the worlds best orchestra. Never a disappointment

good,sometimes u can hear the little concert as a free!

Great location, superb Symphony hall, Best symphony orchestra in the world.

Amazing acoustics, friendly staff. Love this hall.

Stunningly beautiful concert hall with exceptional, world class live music performances. Just book a ticket and enjoy. Unforgettable. Unmissable. Unbelievable.

Beautiful concert hall and an amazing orchestra. Definitely worth it visiting even if you are in Berlin just for few days!

Excellent venue for classical music performances. Most seats allow for a balanced sound profile, only very close to the stage one instrument group might become too dominant. Only caveat: Berlin audiences tend to be noisy. Coughing, unpacking of bonbons, talking. Can spoil a concert.

Spectacular concert hall with Premium orchestra. I’m impressed 💕 (pictures from year 2019)

I’m writing this from the performer’s view! Lovely feeling hall on stage, you can ‘connect’ with the audience easily as they’re all around you, acoustically it is a joy, & comfortable on stage! Plenty of backstage space with a good canteen/bar service (friendly staff), & changing rooms lovely & large, but couldn’t find many backstage toilets, but wow the air con must’ve been on economy mode because it was too hot everywhere! Otherwise I feel privileged to have had the the opportunities over the years to play here & look forward to my next visit!

I went for a concert here. The hall is so amazing and I really believe that seats don’t matter. Definitely worth an experience!

Great visit for a concert. Smooth control process for the COVID vaccination, but don't come last minute! Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes ahead.

The structure is as attractive from outside as inside. Inside there are different levels for the sections. The space is huge. The Orchestra is very good as expected. There’s a shop that carries CD and LP. Great to browse the titles even though CD’s are no longer as popular. It’s an experience to visit and attend a performance.

The Berlin Philharmonic (German: Berliner Philharmoniker) is a German orchestra based in Berlin. It is one of the most popular, acclaimed and well-respected orchestras in the world! Unmissable! 👏👏👏👏👏

I saw an excellent concert here - Deutsches Symphonieorchester Berlin, Rundfunkchor Berlin, Siobhan Stagg (soprano), Andis Poga (conductor) and Rheinhold Messner! The first half was a world premiere of a piece written during the pandemic, which I liked very much, and the second half was Strauss's Alpensinfonie with Messner reading excerpts from his adventures. Very moving and spectacular musicianship all around.

outstanding concert hall great acoustics comfortable modern well lit attentive service but has bottlenecks when leaving

Really beautiful concert. There's not long in the interval and some of the bars weren't accepting card payments so we didn't manage to get a drink, so I recommend pre booking for interval drinks. There are English subtitles but they were very high up behind the orchestra so we couldn't see them. This didn't take too much away from the beautiful singing and playing though, it was an amazing experience.

Modern and beautiful concert hall. There are a big choice of different musical concerts here. You can also can come for free on Wednesday at 13 to the lunch concerts. I love them!

Fantastic concert hall Had the most amazing night conducted by the one and only …Daniel Harding One thing … don’t serve your champagne warm please again !

Truly a world class, one of a kind Concert Hall or rather Philharmonic Hall. Impressive architecture, impeccably designed acoustics and well thought of seatings for thousands. Accordingly, the Maestro conductor and members of the Orchestra tend to be world class as well. We saw maestro Daniel Barenboim conducting what may be one of his last concerts, with a colossal orchestra of over 65 amazing musicians!

This is pure joy. Wednesday is a little holiday of music and discovering the new. I love the atmosphere, and being a strange to philharmonic music I feel there very welcome and very nice.

Incredible venue. Sound quality was fantastic. Accessibility seemed good, but of course everyone has different needs, so for those with mobility impairments, I suggest researching ahead of time and possibly contacting the concert hall ahead of time for more info. Very large capacity. Okay selection of drinks, limited food options. Gift shop was cute, some interesting items for sale, many many CDs (mostly classical/orchestral music), and a display case containing some awards.

Taking one star away as the Kammermusiksaal is really not that nice. If you are a frequent classical concert goer like me, you probably choose a concert based on the program but if you are just there for an experience, my advice is look for a concert in the main hall (Großer Saal). The acoustics in the smaller hall (Kammermusiksaal) is not as nice, personally I feel like the echo is too strong and the sound is scattering all over the place, especially obvious when someone is singing.

The performance was really good. I enjoyed the classical music played at the philharmonie. Good selection of cocktails and wine.

Great sound! Excellent acoustics! Every instrument is felt even at the very end of the hall. Incredible atmosphere! I really liked it! I will definitely visit this place again. There are different types of discounts. I would also like to mention the friendliness and politeness of the staff. They are very kind!

There is a free concert on Wednesday at 1 noon, but it usually fills up at 12:30, so entry is not allowed.

The listening experience is great regardless of where you sit. But you might mind sitting at the 'back' of the musicians as the concentric design is unusual.
