Berlin - the city of striking contrasts
It is no purpose to spend a multi-day museum ticket when the sun invites you to one of the city's many green oases. Visit these top sights and attractions in Berlin on your first day and keep an eye on the weather.
When you travel to the main tourist attractions in Berlin, it is obvious that no city has had such a profound impact on the history of the modern world as the capital of Germany. Events in Berlin have ramifications around the world over the past century and the Berlin Wall has become one of the most iconic symbols of this influence.
Tourists in Berlin must be extremely interested in visiting the Berlin Wall, and the East Side Gallery is one of the best places to see it. This part of the Berlin Wall is very well preserved, covered with several paintings by artists from all over the world-each piece is decorated with art, making it the longest open gallery in the world-the museum is also the existing Berlin Wall The longest part of the Berlin Wall is in the city centre.
The football field-sized Holocaust Memorial, also known as the Monument to the Murdered Jews of Europe, is located between Potsdamer Platz and the Brandenburg Gate, as well as other particularly important historical sites in Berlin, including the Holocaust Memorial and Museum Island. The Jewish Museum in Berlin was opened in 2001 to show the history and culture of the Jewish people of Germany.
It is also home to some of Berlin's top attractions, such as Checkpoint Charlie and the Jewish Museum, Berlin's second most visited destination, and a very historic and stylish city with world-famous museums, monuments, and landmarks. This is one of those cities that are really cool, and they know it.
Start at the Brandenburg Gate, one of Berlin's most popular landmarks and take the time to appreciate its beautiful architecture. At the Brandenburg Gate there are several shops, museums, and galleries that you can explore at your leisure.
The Brandenburg Gate is one of the most famous landmarks in Germany not only in Berlin, but also in the west, because it was always present as a landmark during the destruction of World War II and the Berlin Wall as it stood at the watershed. Berlin's most famous landmark, the Brandenburg Gate, was erected in 1791 as the entrance to the Royal City but spent the Cold War behind the Berlin Wall and thus became a symbol of a divided nation.
In Germany it is second only to the Tempelhofer Park in Berlin and the English Garden in Munich. It is called the Tiergarten because the Berlin Zoo is the zoo with the highest number of species in the world... The Berlin Zoo is now the oldest museum in the city with an internationally renowned animal collection.
To get a feel for the city from the experts, there are many free walking tours focusing on specific neighbourhoods, interesting parts of the city history, or the iconic street arts. Given Berlin's rich history, it should come as no surprise that there are several world-class museums worth visiting. The Museum Island area, north of “Unter den Linden” is home to some of Berlin's finest museums.
Museum Island, located on the Spree River, may have one of the richest collections of landmarks in Berlin. Museum Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is also home to the magnificent and monumental Berlin Cathedral, an important Berlin landmark with a history dating back to the 15th century. The last attraction on Museum Island is the impressive Berlin Cathedral.
The decorative Parisian Place was located at the foot of the gate and is now home to many of the city's important buildings such as the hotel Adlon with its rich history and the “Akademie der Künste”. The Prussian king Friedrich Wilhelm II built it on the site of the ancient city gate and at the end of the large boulevard “Unter den Linden”, was only one of Berlin's many old city gates which were still at the time small.
The palace was severely damaged during the war but was later rebuilt and is now one of the best places to visit in Berlin. Considered one of the best-preserved Renaissance forts in Europe, the Spandau Citadel contains the oldest building of Berlin on the east bank of the Spree River, opposite the Berlin House.
One of the most important things to do in Berlin is visit Potsdamer Platz. What is great about Berlin is that you can see many of the most impressive monuments from the river, including the Parliament, Berlin Cathedral, and the Old Town.
