Berlin has the strongest public viewing infrastructure of any European city. The Fanmeile at the Brandenburg Gate drew over 200,000 fans during Euro 2024, and the tradition continues for World Cup 2026.
Brandenburg Gate Fan Mile
The iconic Berlin Fanmeile stretches along Strasse des 17. Juni between the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column. Multiple giant screens, food vendors, and beer tents. Free entry with security screening. No glass bottles, backpacks max A4 size.
During Euro 2024, capacity reached 200,000. Expect similar numbers for Germany's World Cup matches.
Platz der Republik
A secondary official fan zone in front of the Reichstag building. Screenings, DJ sets, and cultural programming. Smaller and more intimate than the Fanmeile.
