Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We walked around the building but it looked so uninteresting that we didn't go inside. It looks unfinished with lots of building work outside. It's not the shopping mall we thought it would be. Try the Berlin Mall not far away if you want shops.

This is a very nice center, featuring a cinema, several eateries, numerous shops (including Sony, of course) and a modern architecture.

We went there because of the architecture.
It maybe not a most go but if you are in the area of the Potsdamer Platz you shouldn't give it a miss.
Plenty of shops and food in the centre itself.

Vibrant centre of entertainment, that includes restaurants, shops, a cinema, and is close to events related to the Berlinale film festival. Well worth a visit.

We learned that Potsdamer Platz, which was in ruins after the second world war, became a huge no-man's land between the Western and Soviet sectors with the construction of the Berlin Wall. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Potsdamer Platz became a building area and the architects Hilmer und Sattler won the competition for the development of Potsdamer Platz.
We were amazed by the very modern building blocks soaring into the sky, which are emblematic of the reunification of Berlin. Among these architectural blocks, we enjoyeded:
- the Sony Center is breathtaking! It is magnificent with its huge dome of glass and steel. The dome is lit by lights in the evening that change colors. A marvel of modern architecture!!!
- the Daimler Chrysler, with gardens where we walked
- the Beisheim Center
On Potsdamer Platz, we also saw remains of the Berlin Wall which are kept for remembrance.

Berlin is not short of impressive architecture and this modern structure is certainly one to visit after dark. Unless stopping for food, drink or a film then you probably won’t spend too much time here.

One of Berlin's most prominent squares, the Potsdamer Pl. (pls read more about it in a separate review), is dominated by this ultra modern edifice - the Sony Center.
It's a multi pruprose space - apart from modern offices and living spaces there are many cafes, shops, restaurants, a conference hall and movie theater. For kids there's one of Europe's Legoland parks.
I'd suggest visitng at night when it's all light up and changing colors, looks much more impressive than during the day.

It is a beautiful structure, especially at night. However, there is not more to see, just stores, restaurant and movies.

Are there intermissons? If so, for how long?
And also, is the starting time mentioned the actual start of the movie or of adverts and trailers?

como reservar a visita, qual o kink para isso?

Olá o Sony Center é um complexo com lojas e restaurantes, não tem cobrança de entrada . Os pacotes que tem são dos passeios que vão passar pelo Sony Center. Recomendo pesquisar os entretenimentos que tem lá e ver se algum precisa de ingresso. Como reserva em restaurante, etc. fomos durante o dia e a noite! Vale o passeio.

Boa tarde. Visitarei Berlim em agosto e preciso saber como reservar uma visita a Sony Center - vista panorâmica. Grata

Maria,
Boa noite!
O Sony Center é um complexo de escritórios, lojas, cinemas e restaurantes que fica em Potsdamer Platz, em Berlim Mitte. Vale muito a pena a visita porque o local é lindo e super moderno...atravessando a rua fica o Mall of Berlim, que é o maior shopping da cidade e tem uma praça de alimentação espetacular a preços justos.
Voltando a sua pergunta e pegando carona no comentário do Rafael, os melhores locais pra se ter uma vista panorâmica da cidade em 360° são a cúpula do Bunderstag, que é o prédio do Parlamento Alemão...a visita é gratuita com direito a áudio em vários idiomas e você agenda em um trailer do outro lado da rua, as marcações são feitas por ordem de chegada e de acordo com a disponibilidade.
Outra opção com uma vista ainda melhor é a Berliner Fernsehturm -torre de tv- que fica em Alexander Platz, é a construção mais alta dá cidade com mais de 350 m de altura mas se não me engano a plataforma e a cafeteria ficam a pouco mais de 200 m...nao precisa agendar, basta pegar a fila, que no verão é enorme, não tenho certeza do preço do ingresso mas se prepare pra pagar entre E10 a E20.
Espero ter ajudado, aproveite muito sua viagem.
