Central Station

With around 300,000 passengers a day, Europe's largest crossing station is not only an architectural showpiece, but also a shopping center and meeting place at the same time.

Holocaust Memorial

The Holocaust memorial commemorates the murdered Jews of Europe during World War II. It consists of 2711 steles and is located on an area of about 19,000 m² south of the Brandenburg Gate.

Federal Chancellery

The Federal Chancellery, the building is also called the washing machine by Berliners, is the seat of the German Federal Chancellor. It belongs to the so-called "Bund des Bunds" and is located in the government district on the edge of the Spreebogenpark.

The 69 meter high column is one of the most famous landmarks in Berlin and cannot be overlooked in the center of Straße des 17. Juni. Completed in 1873, it was moved to its current location in 1939. It takes 285 steps to see Berlin's largest park, the Tiergarten, from above.

Checkpoint Charlie

The former border crossing Checkpoint Charlie is one of the most important sights in Berlin. Its name derives from the International Spelling Alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie).

Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church

The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church is an exciting ensemble consisting of the ruins of the church destroyed in the war and a modern church building. It stands as a memorial for peace and reconciliation on Breitscheidtplatz.

Berlin Zoo

In the oldest zoo in Germany, over 22,200 animals from around 1,400 species can be seen on an area of 33 hectares. This makes the Berlin Zoo the most species-rich in the world. Right next to the zoo you will also find the Berlin Aquarium.

Reichstag building

The Reichstag is the lynchpin of German politics – this is where parliament sits and deliberates. High up from the glass dome you have a fantastic panoramic view.

Potsdamer Platz

Potsdamer Platz offers a very special district with its own building ensemble consisting of high-rise buildings and futuristic-looking new buildings.

Hackesche Höfe

Red Town Hall

The Red Town Hall is not only the seat of Berlin's mayor, but also one of the city's most famous landmarks.

Bikini Berlin

The Bikini-Haus was opened in 1957 and was a center for Berlin chic. It got its name because of the special architecture and an open colonnade in the middle. After a renovation, it was reopened in 2014 as a concept mall.

Kaufhaus des Westens

The KaDeWe is the most famous department store in Germany. Here you can shop in the upscale segment or let yourself be pampered with culinary delights in the restaurant.

Museum Island

On the Museum Island you will find an incomparable building ensemble consisting of five museums: the Old Museum, the New Museum, the old National Gallery, the Bode Museum and the Pergamon Museum.

Wall Museum

The Wall Museum at Checkpoint Charlie is a private museum with an exhibition about the Berlin Wall.

Lustgarten

If you want to relax a little after a visit to Museum Island, you've come to the right place on the inviting green area.

Gendarmenmarkt

The Gendarmenmarkt enjoys the reputation as the most beautiful square in all of Berlin. Surrounded by the French and German Cathedrals, the Konzerthaus Berlin is located in the middle. The Schiller monument is located directly in front of the concert hall.

Alexanderplatz

World Clock

Oberbaumbrücke

When it comes to Berlin bridges, the Oberbaum Bridge is probably one of the most famous in the city. Since 1896 it has connected the Berlin district of Kreuzberg with Friedrichshain across the Spree.

Schloss Charlottenburg
