Potsdamer platz was where “The Wall Live in Berlin” was filmed. Assuming you are not a Pink Floyd or Roger Waters fan, try to imagine that before world war II this square was one of the busiest squares in Berlin, after the war this square was flattened, and then the wall was put up cutting the city in half. Today, there are all modern buildings including the big ones from Sony and Daimler-Benz. This is where I first saw a few pieces of the Berlin Wall; however, you can find those all over town. If you do any city tours, I’m sure you will visit Potsdamer platz, but otherwise I wouldn’t go out of my way to see it if you for some reason only have one day or something. Remember, plan at least 5 days for Berlin.
