Photo by Gilbert Sopakuwa CC BY-NC-ND 2.0Berlin is the capital of Germany. It is probably known in the world and made famous for its walls that for years symbolized an era that ended with its fall, some sections are still standing and a destination for many tourists. Below is the list of the popular places to visit and things to do in Berlin, Germany.
Photo by Bernt Rostad CC BY 2.0A historic building located in the Tiergarten district was built in 1894 in the Neo-Renaissance style, which is currently the headquarters where the German Parliament meets. Surely it is a building that leaves you speechless. It suffered serious damage in 1933, due to arson, and at the end of World War II, being rebuilt in 1960 and acquired its current appearance in 1990 with the addition of the cupola by the British architect Sir Norman Foster. Visiting the Reichstag and climbing the dome is a great experience.
Photo by Kaya CC BY-NC-ND 2.0Unmissable to understand what the Berlin wall means. Before visiting the East Side Gallery, the Memorial of the Wall should be a must. Visiting this place is not for fun, but a historical area to be traveled with deep respect towards those who at the time of their existence experienced the drama of separation from their loved ones. Berlin is not Berlin without going to this site.
Photo by Paul VanDerWerf CC BY 2.0It is a Museum complex, conceived in a very original way since its main attractions are the impressive buildings of the Altar of Zeus in Pergamum, the market gate of Miletus, and a reproduction of the Ishtar Gate in Babylon. An excellent representation of the Greek-Roman city in the days of the visit of the emperor Hadrian. The museum is a 360-degree room where all the phases of the city are projected from public to private events with night and day reproductions, all surrounded by very enveloping music. This representation can be seen from different angles and can also be climbed on multi-story central pitches.
Photo by Hugh Llewelyn CC BY-SA 2.0The island of museums brings together museums of different kinds in one place: art, history, archeology, religion. Dedicating a day to visit the place and with a ticket for the whole group, you can take a tour of a variety of topics for many tastes. If you want to see all of them, one day may not be enough.
Photo by David Merrett CC BY 2.0The Palast is the number 1 theatre in Berlin. It is the first option for people who want to experience something unique while they are staying in the city. It welcomes half a million guests every year and more than one hundred artists. It’s an amazing experience being able to watch a show here.
Photo by Giuseppe Milo CC BY 2.0An old gateway to the city, from the end of the 18th century, this imposing neoclassical building, 26 meters high and more than 60 wide, is located in the center of the city between the Tiergarten and the important avenue Unter den Linden that leads to the island of museums. It has been a crucial point in the history of Germany, from the great imperial events to the propaganda acts of Nazism, representing the division between the two sides of Berlin after the fall of the same, and becoming the nerve center of Berlin after the fall.
Photo by Dennis Jarvis CC BY-SA 2.0Next to a remnant of the Berlin Wall is this kind of interactive museum. It is not suitable for people who are sensitive. The photos, the stories that can be heard, and the videos can be shocking but very real. If you want to be informed of the crimes of the Nazis, and the suffering of the Jewish people, this is the place to go to.
Photo by Joan CC BY-NC 2.0In the vicinity of the Brandenburg Gate is this memorial-museum, which already, on the outside, is out of the ordinary. Inside there are recordings, photos, and a lot of information. One of the places you have to visit to understand the history of the city and the Holocaust. Normally the visit is included in the tours that can be hired, but you can also go on your own and visit it at your own pace.
Photo by Riccardo Cecchi CC BY-SA 2.0It is one of the main attractions of Berlin, as it is the symbol of the Second World War. It is basically an exhibition of murals with paintings made in what remains of the Berlin Wall. Here you can find the famous kiss between the two dictators of the time namely the Russian Brezhnev and the East German Communist Honecker. Very interesting, it is a walk not to be missed, to then reach the magnificent oberbaumbrücke bridge.
Photo by Gilbert Sopakuwa CC BY-NC-ND 2.0Located near the museum island, after being bombed, the cathedral, which was originally from 1465 but rebuilt in the nineteenth century, was almost completely destroyed until 1973. Over the years, many restorations have been carried out, and now both the exterior, which has Victorian elements and the interior you can marvel in its majestic beauty. Berlin is full of beautiful buildings and this is one of them.
