Bebelplatz in Berlin left me truly captivated. The historical significance of this square, along with its vibrant atmosphere, makes it a must-visit destination. Standing on the very spot where the infamous book burning took place, I felt a profound connection to the past and the importance of preserving knowledge and freedom of expression. The architecture surrounding Bebelplatz is stunning, offering a glimpse into the city's rich history and diverse culture. The square's open layout invites visitors to stroll, sit, and soak in the surroundings. Whether it's a leisurely walk or a quiet moment on one of the benches, there's a sense of serenity amidst the bustling city. The central location of Bebelplatz makes it convenient to explore nearby attractions, museums, and landmarks. The nearby Humboldt University and State Opera House add to the intellectual and artistic ambiance of the area. While it may not be the largest square in Berlin, Bebelplatz's historical significance, architectural beauty, and serene ambiance make it a meaningful and memorable stop for both locals and visitors.

The Bebel-square is one of those few places, where you breathe history. Quite a mixed one, as you, diving into the stories this square tells, will understand that it is horrible history from the darkest days of Germany as well as wonderful history from the lightest days of German history. The ensemble, seen from the entrance of the Hotel de Rome (marvellous cocktails on the roof terrace!) consists of the law-faculty of the Humboldt-university to your left, the main building of the Humboldt-university in front of you and the State opera house to your right. If you walk a bit it is absolutely astonishing how the different angels to each building change your overall impression of the ensemble as such. You should certainly take a walk there!

Pickpocketer's heaven, Naive tourists! This place somehow attracts lots of Gypsy actions. I noticed there were so many female pairs approaching only the couples with white clip boards I have seen somewhere else in the past days. Now, I have seen them pickpocketing the naive tourists of mostly young ages. They normally approach the couples, distracting the males first then draw the other's attention away. They all have the clipboard to cover their fast hands below the clipboards. I watched one to pull out something from a guy, then, the other took it over from her, and, walked away. After that, I have warned so many naive young tourists, but, they didn't believe me. I videotaped them staying there, then, this fat faced girl brazenly confronted me getting into my camera frame frequently trying to shoo me away. Watch the posted pictures. I spotted Male gypsies in Memorial to Homosexuals Persecuted Under Nazism, Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, working alone. Potsdamer Platz station area, one morning, was crowded next to Berlin Walls, usually playing some street hustling. Do not help to take pictures of them using their smart phones, that will distract you big time. I even pulled one naive American boy out from these gambling team who pretended to be plain crowds while the weary girlfriend was pushed aside by another female gypsy. After showing them the video, only then he believed it. The police is around in Bebelplatz somewhere but they close their eyes on them. very shady.

The Bebelplatz is a public square in the central Mitte district of Berlin, and named after August Bebel, a founder of the Social Democratic Party of Germany. The square is surrounded by some very fine buildings, namely the State Opera building, buildings of Humboldt University including the building across Unter den Linden, and St. Hedwig's Cathedral, the first Catholic church built in Prussia after the Reformation. There's no cafes or restaurants like in many European public squares. Come here for the fine buildings and monuments! But expect to jostle with other tourists doing the same.

I’ll admit, I’ve never been to Bebelplatz before in my months of studying abroad here in Berlin, however during the holiday season it’s 100% worth coming to!!! The Bebelplatz market has lot of wonderful shops that sell ornaments, bags, and other handmade goods. Also I got a hot chocolate and was able to keep the cup which is a really neat souvenir! Since mine is a big cup I think I may use it for ice cream, pens, or smoothies. Anyway if you buy the gluvine (glow wine) you can keep a mug that you can use for coffee and such later. Love this market and definitely think it’s worth going to!!

It is surreal in lights. This square is somewhat at midway between Brandenburger Gate and Berlin TV tower. This entire stretch of 2 to 3 Kms glows in light during Berlin light festival. And, many artist does street performance that adds more vibe and lively atmosphere. Note: Berlin light festival from 6th Oct to 15th Oct 2023. Some of nearby places part of berlin light festival are Berlin Cathedral Berlin Tv tower St Mary's Chruch St Hedwig's Cathedral Brandenburger Gate Victory Column State Opera house Hackescher Market S bahn station
