Once a year, Berlin’s world famous sights and monuments in the city center become the canvas for spectacular light and video projections during the Festival of Lights.
At the Festival of Lights, many landmarks, historical sites, streets, squares, trendy districts and interesting places from Berlin's recent history are staged with light. The festival will take place for the 23rd time in 2027 and is traditionally held under the patronage of the governing mayor of Berlin.
The light art installations at Bebelplatz are particularly impressive every year. There, visitors can take in the colorful light art projections from three sides. The light shows are accompanied by music. Another hotspot featuring numerous different installations is Potsdamer Platz. This equally impressive hotspot is also one of the must-sees of the Festival of Lights.
