We took bus #200 which also goes through some interesting parts of Berlin. We took it all the way to the last stop and then back to the center.

This Berliner Philharmonie or The Berlin Philharmonic Hall is the fruit of innovation, one of the first concert building designed as four-sides concert hall where the stage is located in the middle and the audience seats surround it.

The building is located on Herbert-von-Karajan-Straße, named for the Philharmonic’s longest-serving principal conductor, in the Kulturforum area of Berlin not far from Potsdamer Platz. The hall is the primary concert venue of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. There is a sister music venue, the Kammermusiksaal, next to the Philharmonie proper. The Philharmonie has 2,440 seats, whilst the Kammermusiksaal has 1,180. The complex hosts about 500 concerts every year.
