TIPI AM KANZLERAMT

Located in Berlin's political hub, close to the chancellery, is the semi-permanent TIPI AM KANZLERAMT. Since its inception, this theatre in a tent has established a credible reputation as a top Berlin venue for chanson, cabaret and comedy.

Timeless Berlin

An emotional journey through German and Jewish history and the grim realities of WWII await at Berlin's top attractions, the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie and the Jewish Museum. Ramble through the Tiergarten, one of the world's largest parks, laden with ponds, creeks and shaded paths. Don't forget to take a selfie by the glorious Brandenburg Gate at night when it is spectacularly illuminated. For day trip ideas, consider the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp at Oranienburg, or Wannsea's cool waters. Berlin’s after dark action is best savoured at its industrial-style nightclubs. Or how about an evening that combines live entertainment and dinner? The city boasts plenty of those.

Cabaret in the government district

The TIPI AM KANZLERAMT theatre is where acclaimed German and international performers put together high-quality entertainment each evening. The atmosphere is quite evocative of 30s style cabaret — polished and thoroughly professional in terms of stage design and costumes. Come summer, and TIPI morphs into a consumate roaring 20s style venue. The likes of Gayle Tufts, Ass-Dur, Georgette Dee and Gustav Peter Wöhler arrive each summer. Those opting for the dinner ticket can sample fresh and seasonal specialities such as the asparagus menu. Most shows at Tipi are in German but that does not deter non-German speakers. As they say, it's all in the atmosphere.
