About Berlin

Berlin er Tysklands kreative, åbensindede hovedstad, hvor vartegn fra en turbulent historie står blandt kunst, grønne parker og legendarisk natteliv.

Brandenburger Tor er byens symbol, tæt på Rigsdagsbygningen med sin glaskuppel og Mindesmærket for Europas myrdede jøder. Fragmenter af Berlinmuren er bevaret, mest slående ved East Side Gallery, en lang strækning dækket af vægmalerier, og ved mindestedet på Bernauer Strasse, mens Checkpoint Charlie markerer den mest berømte tidligere grænseovergang.

Top-ranked sights in Berlin: Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor), Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (Holocaust Memorial), Checkpoint Charlie.
