Silvestermenü im Französischen Dom

What makes the French Cathedral the top address for New Year’s Eve?

The French Cathedral on Gendarmenmarkt is one of Berlin’s most impressive landmarks and offers one of the city’s most beautiful backdrops on New Year’s Eve. With its elegant architecture, central location, and 360° panoramic platform high above Berlin’s rooftops, it is a unique place to celebrate the turn of the year. From here, guests enjoy an incomparable view of Berlin’s New Year’s Eve fireworks, which illuminate the skyline around the TV Tower, Brandenburg Gate, and Potsdamer Platz. Both the Hugo & Notte restaurant on the ground floor and the viewing platform at the top of the tower create the perfect setting for a spectacular end to 2025. The special feature: This year, two New Year’s Eve menus are offered – one in the afternoon for those who wish to continue their celebrations afterward, and one from 20:00 including a slide into the new year.
