Itinerary
The symbol of the city since Napoleon's triumphant parade in 1806
Home of the German Parliament since 1894 (with a few long gaps along the way...)
A moving monument to two groups historically labelled as 'gypsies'. At least 500,000 members of these communities were murdered by the Nazi dictatorship
Part of the government quarter built in the 1990s, in preparation for the German parliament moving back from the former West German capital city of Bonn
Berlin's Central Park; the former hunting grounds of the Prussian Aristocracy
A powerful and provocative memorial to Soviet soldiers who died taking Berlin in 1945
Designed by Peter Eisenmann, this memorial continues to inspire a diverse array of reactions an interpretations.
Situated in the Tiergarten Park, this monument is particularly relevant to Berlin, a city that, before the Nazi era, was known to be one of the most accepting of homosexuality.
The former Times Square of Berlin; destroyed in WW2, ripped in half by the Berlin Wall and built anew during reunification
The bunker where the Nazi dicatator ended his own life in 1945, long covered by a nondescript parking lot
Layer upon layer of history upon one corner - the former Air Force Ministry built by the Nazi regime, which in turn became the site of a popular uprising against the post-war Communist dictatorship.
One of the longest remaining pieces of the Berlin Wall, which once ran 155km around the western part of the city

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.
