About Berlino

Berlino, capitale creativa e aperta della Germania: luoghi di una storia turbolenta tra arte, parchi verdi e leggendaria vita notturna.

La Porta di Brandeburgo è il simbolo della città, vicino al Reichstag con la cupola di vetro e al Memoriale degli ebrei assassinati d'Europa. Frammenti del Muro di Berlino sopravvivono, in modo più suggestivo alla East Side Gallery, un lungo tratto coperto di murales, e al memoriale di Bernauer Strasse, mentre il Checkpoint Charlie segna il più famoso ex valico di frontiera.

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