Start Your Day with a Visit to the Iconic Brandenburg Gate
Brandenburg gate should not be missed whenever one is in Berlin when making a tour of Germany. It appears to be one of the most important sights of the town: a symbol of its historic sinfulness as well as its promising expectations. Take a stunning sight at this neoclassical building and feel these allures of the Place de Paris that it occupies.
Do take a few pictures before leaving to the next place you desire to photograph.
Explore Berlin Wall Memorial – One of the Best Places to Learn about Cold War
After the Brandenburg Gate you will proceed to Berlin Wall Memorial. This is such a sad site as it gives a view of the cut into the past of the city.
This place is dedicated to illustrate the construction of the Wall along Bernauer Strasse, how people tried to cross the border and the autumn of the Wall in 1989. Please, spend some time to think about the importance of this historical event.
Modern Berlin: Introduction to Museum Island
In the second place, visit Museum Island that is in fact the cultural treasure on the river’s bank and is enlisted as the world heritage site with several famous museums. Choose from Pergamonmuseum, Bode-Museum, Neues-Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie, and Altes-Museum.
If time permits, I would suggest spending most of your time in the Pergamon Museum in particular because of the variety of the exhibits on show: everything from the Babylon Drehem Market Building and the computer invented reconstruction of the Altars of Miletus to the bust of the Hellenistic tyrant Naxos.
Before visiting make sure to check when they are open and try to book tickets in advance if you can so you dont miss anything.
Taste German Food at Currywurst Museum or The Barn
History and culture must always be followed by a good food; therefore, we are going to get a shears of free time. Berlin is known for its vibrant food scene, and no visit is complete without trying the beloved street food: currywurst.
Visit Currywurst Museum and know about history of currywurst and its ideological place in German culture and eat in currywurst may be in one of numerous stalls located all over Berlin.
