Itinerary

  1. Berlin's oldest university, a Baroque palace turned cradle of modern learning that has counted Einstein, Hegel and the Brothers Grimm among its minds. Across the boulevard stands Schinkel's Neue Wache, where a single rain-washed sculpture mourns all the victims of war.

    10 min

  2. Berlin's most famous landmark, a serene neoclassical gateway crowned by the winged Quadriga. Once stranded in the no-man's land of the Berlin Wall, it is today the joyful emblem of a reunified city.

    10 min

  4. An elegant Enlightenment square laid out by Frederick the Great, ringed by the State Opera, the curved old Royal Library, and St. Hedwig's Cathedral. A glass plate set into the cobbles reveals empty white shelves below, the haunting memorial to the Nazi book burning of May 1933.

    10 min

  6. Widely called Berlin's most beautiful square, a perfect study in symmetry where Schinkel's grand Konzerthaus is flanked by two near-identical domed towers, the German and French Cathedrals. Their twin silhouettes rising above the open paving make this one of the great architectural set pieces in Europe.

    10 min

  7. A UNESCO World Heritage ensemble of five grand museums set on an island in the Spree, gathered around the green Lustgarten. Built over a century as Prussia's self-styled sanctuary for art and science, it holds treasures from the Pergamon Altar to the bust of Nefertiti.

    10 min

  8. The grand domed Protestant cathedral that rises over the Lustgarten, built in 1905 as a Hohenzollern court church. Beneath its soaring dome lie a royal crypt of nearly a hundred coffins and a viewing gallery looking out across the city's rooftops.

    10 min

  9. A reconstructed Baroque royal palace housing a museum of world cultures, standing where the Hohenzollern residence once ruled and the GDR later raised its Palace of the Republic. No single building tells Berlin's destroy-and-rebuild story more clearly than this one.

    10 min

  10. A maze of cobbled lanes and gabled houses clustered around the twin-spired Nikolaikirche, Berlin's oldest church. This is the medieval cradle from which the whole city grew, flattened in the war and lovingly recreated for Berlin's 750th birthday.

    10 min

  11. A vast, breezy plaza crowned by the soaring Fernsehturm, East Berlin's proud landmark and still the tallest structure in Germany. Around you spread the wide pavements, the spherical fountain and the beloved World Clock, the everyday heart of the modern capital.

About Berlin

Berlin is Germany's creative, open-minded capital, where landmarks of a turbulent history stand among art, green parks and legendary nightlife.

The Brandenburg Gate is the city's symbol, close to the glass-domed Reichstag and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Fragments of the Berlin Wall survive, most strikingly at the East Side Gallery, a long stretch covered in murals, and at the Bernauer Strasse memorial, while Checkpoint Charlie marks the most famous former crossing point.

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