Delve into the secrets of "Lost Berlin," where the medieval core was wiped away, redesigned, and reimagined. It's like stepping into a lost city, but fear not – you will uncover the hidden gems and fascinating stories that make this part of Berlin so gripping. Witness the profound impact of politics over the last 150 years as you explore a city that has seen buildings moved, rebuilt, replaced, and reinterpreted.

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.
