Exploring Berlin’s abandoned Tempelhof Airport – a cinematic tour inside...

[jwotravelexpert]

Tempelhof Airport is one of Berlin’s most fascinating landmarks — a vast, abandoned terminal frozen in time. I recently filmed an exclusive tour inside, exploring forgotten corridors, eerily preserved lounges, Cold War remnants, and even empty passport halls.

This is a side of Berlin most travellers never get to see, and I wanted to capture it in a cinematic way for anyone curious about aviation history, urban exploration, or hidden parts of Europe’s cities.

Here’s the video if you’d like to take a look:

Would love to hear what you think — has anyone else toured Tempelhof?

@jwotravelexpert Absolutely brilliant. Really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing it with us. I've already given it a spot on our homepage.

So kind, @Aviador. I really appreciate this. I must admit, as much as I'm passionate about all the films I've made (I would say that!!) this one really was a sheer joy to experience and put together. Thanks for all the support I get from this forum!

Brilliant video, amazingly it still looks cleaner than some airports I've used that are still operational 🙂

Definitely one that I'll pencil in if we ever get round to visiting Berlin.

Thanks for posting 👍

Highly recommend Ray! Ah, agreed - it must be that German efficiency!!

A great video! I must admit it's very fascinating and I only learnt a bit the airport after Formula E started racing there.

I once did a tour of this huge airport, enjoyed it. Had quiet a ghostly feel as if the passengers had only just left. The architecture is quite brutalist as expected of the time.
