Is Classic Open Air at Gendarmenmarkt worth it?
Classic Open Air is worth it if you want to hear a full orchestra in front of one of Berlin's finest backdrops. Check the date carefully when you buy, because only two of the five evenings are classical music. The grandstand gives you a clearer view over people's heads, while the stalls put you closer to the stage and are easier to reach.
