Friedrichstadt-Palast in Berlin

Berlin’s Hot Spot is Friedrichstadt-Palast. It is Europe’s biggest and most modern show palace with quite an interesting past. It opened in 1867 as Berlin’s first market hall. Then in 1873, it converted into a circus arena. After World War II, the abandoned building reopened, but had to close a few decades late due to the building’s unstable foundations. Finally in 1984, Berlin opened the doors to this spectacular new entertainment venue.
