In addition to first-class gastronomy and impressive art exhibitions that delight visitors all year round, special highlights await you every month. In March in Berlin, exciting events and a variety of diverse festivals await you, bringing the city to life!
Archives Day
Archives around the world hold photos, letters, records, and other evidence that provide insights into the past and present. However, these treasures are often only accessible to researchers and archivists who are familiar with the diversity of the material. On the occasion of Germany-wide Archives Day, several Berlin archives will open their doors on March 7 and 8, 2026, giving children and adults a glimpse behind the scenes and presenting fascinating insights into the GDR opposition, historical map and poster collections, as well as diaries and letters from the 20th century.
