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.

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

This building was right outside our hotel in Berlin and super cool.
It houses some shopping, a couple restaurants and bars, and a movie theater. It’s central atrium area is amazing and just a beautiful piece of engineering. It has large open air sections so it’s breezy and cool at night. Probably a bear in the winter but what isn’t! And it fits in with the more modern Potsdamerplatz area. It’s cool and worth strolling by if you have time.

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.

Right by Potsdamer Platz this was an easy shortcut for us to make. The architecture of the Sony Center roof is quite something.
There’s plenty of food and drink options too.

It is a very interesting plaza especially at night when it is illuminated. It is worthwhile visiting.

This is a hall with an impressive roof, entrance to the iMax, a water feature in the middle, and lots of bars and restaurants around the edge to con tourists.
Unless you want to watch a film or grab a very expensive drink then not much else to see.
Here is a photo to save you the time.

In Potsdamer Platz and close to the Mall of Berlin is the Sony Center.
The Sony Center is a 26 floor, glass and steel tower designed by Helmut Jahn. The glass roof looks like bicycle spokes that makes it stand out.
There is a cinema here but the shops in the plaza were underwhelming.

Certainly - catch a movie, visit the huge Sony store or just enjoy one of the numerous restaurants.

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?

Start time normally includes trailers and advertisements but it at all times. Intermission precedes main movie

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.
