1. Brandenburg Gate

The gate which I visited is known locally as Brandenburg Gate, and is one of the most popular places in Berlin. Today this neoclassical monument is an emblematic specimen of unity and amity and has seen some important moments in history. Take a minute or two to pull out some cameras and try to picture some history following this magnificent structure.

2. Reichstag Building

The Reichstag building houses the German parliment and there is a glass dome, where visitors can indeed be amazed with the scenic panoramic view of Berlin. People can find out about the history of the building, the political situation in Germany, and etc., and make photos standing in the windows with the view at Berlin. Please bear in mind that you can only join the show as participants by using your free ticket that you need to book several days before the show.

3. East Side Gallery

The East Side Gallery is an interesting installation of street art placed along one of the last remaining sections of the Wall. The project has more than a hundred of juicy and inspiring paintings painted by artists from different countries. Do not rush through this historical investment to understand and see everything, as there are deep messages conveyed through art.

4. Checkpoint Charlie

Checkpoint Charlie was the most important checkpoint that divided East and West Berlin during world war two. Modern tourists get the opportunity to visit the copy of the contentious guardhouse and study the historical division of the city. Amble through the adjacent museum to achieve the knowledge about the lives and experiences of people associated with the Berlin Wall.

5. Holocaust Memorial of the Jews

Holocaust Memorial is more of a memorial dedicated to the murdered jews of Europe and it is definitely quite symbolic. The global structure includes 2711 concrete parcents of different heights and the confusing labyrinth of a memorial is aimed to make a person think about all the sins of previous years. It’s time for a little tribute and thought on how much the practice of remembrance is essential.

6. Museum Island

Museum Island which is situated on the Spree River is one of UNESCO world heritage site and five famous museums of the world are positioned in this place. Check out the rich stores of art, archaeological artifacts and history at the Neues Museum, home to the famous bust of queen Nefertiti. This goes to show that there is so much to see; therefore, should organize when planning to visit the location in order to get ample time for the cultural preserved.

7. Berlin Cathedral

The other places of interest include: The Berlin Cathedral or Berliner dom which is a impressive baroque church. It is simple in design, but its architectural features, ornate moldings and fine finishes are landmarks of the city. For a bird’s eye view of Berlin one can climb the dome while tourists can enjoy the marvelous tunes of an organ concert here.

8. Tiergarten

Get out of the city crowd and discover the peace of Tiergarten- the largest park in Berlin. It’s suitable for walking trails, picnicking, and scenic lakes. Take a walk around, rent a paddle boat or just lie down and rest and charges your ‘batteries’ in the middle of nature. Do not stick to the park area – its central landmark, the Victory Column, will offer great views of the city.
