Around 42,000 visitors come to the arcades every day. Their total catchment area is estimated at around 4.25 million people, and Potsdamer Platz is also a popular place with tourists.

architecture
The Potsdamer Platz Arkaden is part of a 19-part building complex that was created based on the ideas of an international team of architects. The Italian Renzo Piano was in charge, and he helped design the Center Pompidou . With Potsdamer Platz he wanted to create a “European-looking city quarter” and shaped its appearance through terracotta facades, among other things.
Infrastructure
The building is integrated into the Berlin public transport system and can be easily reached with the lines of the Berlin-Brandenburg transport association . A parking garage for 4000 vehicles is also available to visitors to the arcades .
