Friedrichstadt-Palast

The "old" (ie the former) Friedrichstadtpalast was built in 1865. The "new" (ie the current) Friedrichstadtpalast was built in 1984. This is a revue theatre in the eastern part of the city with really good shows. It is one of the leading revue theatres in Europe. We were really fascinated by the performances and we can say: definitely worth a try!
