The Gendarmenmarkt was initially the central market square of the city of Friedrichstadt. It is now in the center of Berlin, and is one of the most beautiful squares in the city. The French church, built in the eighteenth century by the French Protestants, is opposite the German church. Both have beautiful domes. In the square there is a slightly bohemian feel, with terraces, accordions and street singers. It is a nice place for lunch.
Alongside Friederistrasse, although I might be wrong, Gendarmenplatz opens, and is one of the most representative places of Berlin. If the title of this part includes the term "markt" it's because of the variety of different markets held here all week. In my case, I went at Christmas, and the square with two imposing churches was literally boiling. The area has trendy shops and designer bars that don't leave you indifferent. In any case, I recommend taking a trip across the square on weekdays, with fewer people, around the market if you want, enter the churches if it's hot and chat with a Berliner
