The Journey

1

Hackescher Markt to Brandenburg Gate Illuminated Walk

Experience Berlin's heart in a unique way with an illuminated evening walk from the vibrant Hackescher Markt, known for its art nouveau courtyards and eclectic shops, to the iconic Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of German reunification. Along the way, witness the city's most famous landmarks bathed in a magical glow, offering unforgettable photo opportunities and a deeper appreciation of Berlin's rich history and vibrant present.

2

Berliner Dom (Berlin Cathedral)

Behold the Berliner Dom, a magnificent cathedral island rising majestically on Museum Island. Admire its stunning architecture, especially beautiful when illuminated at night, and explore its rich history as the former court church of the Hohenzollern dynasty. Ascend to the dome's viewing platform for panoramic views of Berlin, or descend into the Hohenzollern crypt to see the sarcophagi of Prussian royalty. The illuminated facade is a breathtaking sight.

3

Unter den Linden (Under the Linden Trees)

Stroll down Unter den Linden, Berlin's grand boulevard, lined with embassies, shops, cafes, and historical landmarks. Experience the vibrancy of this famous avenue, especially magical when illuminated in the evening. Marvel at the buildings that line the road including the State Opera, the German Historical Museum, and Neue Wache Memorial. Feel the pulse of Berlin as you walk in the footsteps of history.

4

Bebelplatz

Visit Bebelplatz, a square with a somber history. This was the site of the infamous Nazi book burning in 1933, now commemorated by a haunting underground memorial: empty bookshelves beneath a glass plate set into the cobblestones. Reflect on the importance of freedom of thought and expression in this thought-provoking space. The surrounding buildings, including the State Opera and St. Hedwig's Cathedral, contribute to the square's architectural grandeur.

5

Berlin City Palace (Humboldt Forum)

Explore the reconstructed Berlin City Palace, now home to the Humboldt Forum, a museum of world cultures. Admire the palace's impressive baroque facade, painstakingly rebuilt to reflect its former glory. Step inside to discover exhibitions showcasing art and artifacts from around the globe, reflecting Berlin's commitment to cultural exchange and dialogue. The illuminated palace is a spectacular sight, especially at night, casting a warm glow over the Spree River.

6

Humboldt University of Berlin

Admire the architectural beauty of Humboldt University, one of Germany's oldest and most prestigious universities. Stroll through its historic courtyard and admire the statues of famous alumni, including the brothers Wilhelm and Alexander von Humboldt. Feel the atmosphere of academic excellence and intellectual curiosity that permeates this renowned institution. The university building's classical facade, illuminated at night, creates an impressive and dignified impression.
