The Admiralspalast is a theatre on Friedrichstraße in the Mitte district of Berlin, Germany. The theatre has 1,756 seats. It opened in 1910, built as part of a large leisure complex on the former site of the 1873 Admiralsgarten bath house. It is one of the city's few preserved pre-World War II era variety venues.

Cabaret and comedy, political satire in German. Their home venue is in the Admiralspalast.
Palace of Tears
Millions of visitors leaving East Berlin by train said tearful goodbyes to their friends and relatives from the East at this former border checkpoint. Hardly a year after the wall came down, the building was turned into a nightclub until it was forced to close in 2006. It re-opened as a museum in September 2011 and now houses a permanent exhibition that brings the absurd normality of everyday life in the divided city back to life.
Theater am Schiffbauer Damm
Contemporary theatre. The theater was founded by Bertolt Brecht after the war in what was then East Berlin.
Four floors of exhibitions with a relatively good variety of genres and artists. A very nice oasis of calm from the busy Friedrichstraße.
Europe's Show Palace
Berlin's biggest show with over 100 artists on the biggest theater stage in the world.
