Waldbühne, Berlin

Built by the Nazis as a venue for political parades and mass demonstrations, the Waldbühne is not without its dark side, but it is still accepted by many as by far and away the best and most atmospheric open-air venue in the city. Located on the edge of a forest, the 20,000-seat amphitheatre is as pretty as it is impressive. The Waldbühne hosts a whole range of shows during the summer season including cinema classics like The Blues Brothers and Pulp Fiction and rock and pop concerts by the likes of Prince and U2. One of the highlights is the annual concert by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, where classical music enthusiasts can enjoy a champagne picnic with Mozart or Beethoven.
