Welcome to Berlin

Main attractions:

Alexanderplatz

Alexanderplatz is Berlin's most famous square. Originally, this square lay just beyond the gates to the city. The square is also home to the World Time Clock, and the Fountain of International Friendship, both of which were erected in 1969.

Brandenburg Gate

Brandenburg Gate, Berlin's only remaining city gate, is the true symbol of the city. Because it was situated in the no man's land just behind the wall, it also became symbolic of the division of the city. After the Fall of the Wall, the Gate was reopened on December 22, 1989.

Berliner Dom - www.berlinerdom.de

Berlin Cathedral is the former court cathedral of Prussia's royal family, the Hohenzollern and was conceived as a protestant answer to St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

The consort of museums found on the Museum Island is a unique cultural inheritance, which unites five important museum buildings into a heterogeneous but harmonic ensemble on the River Spree.

Charlottenburg Castle – www.spsg.de

This beautifully restored palace was originally commissioned over 300 years ago by the future Queen Sophie Charlotte. Inside the palace there is a small collection of romantic paintings. Outside, the Schloss Charlottenburg is surrounded by stunning gardens, which are well worth a visit, opening from dawn until dusk.

Postdamer Platz – www.panoramapunkt.de
