The Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin is a very spacious and quiet library, clearly designed for students, researchers, and professionals, it’s not really suitable for children. The environment is generally respectful, with most people focused on studying or working, though occasionally you may hear some light noise from others. Important tip: On Sundays, access is only allowed with a member card, so be sure to register in advance if you plan to visit.

Beautiful entrance and relaxing back yard.
