Don't forget the iconic wrapping action by the artist Christo.

Marvel at the colossal Federal Chancellery, the German Chancellor's principal workplace. Larger than the White House, this ten-story building houses over 500 office rooms for more than 300 employees. Although the Chancellor has an official apartment in the rotunda, she prefers to live across from Museum Island.

Experience the grandeur of Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Europe's largest crossing station. Handling approximately 300,000 passengers daily, this multi-level hub features eight underground and eight above-ground tracks, extensive halls, and numerous shops.

17

New Synagogue

Visit the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, a striking landmark symbolizing Berlin's resilience. The original church was damaged during WWII and only the ruins were preserved.

Explore the church’s interior, known for its mysterious blue light created by thousands of stained glass stones, and enjoy the surprisingly quiet ambiance.

29

Kantstrasse

Appreciate the beautifully restored Art Nouveau buildings in the area. The tour will turn around here to avoid traveling to Charlottenburg Palace, or extend if desired. Kantstrasse itself turns into an interesting Chinese Quarter.

30

Kurfürstendamm (Ku'damm)

Experience the western splendor of Kurfürstendamm, Berlin's version of the Champs-Élysées. Once adorned with villas and entertainment venues, it has transformed into a chic shopping mile featuring high-end boutiques and flagship stores. Enjoy the modern ambiance and luxurious shopping experience.

31

Kantstrasse & Kurfürstendamm

33

Nollendorfplatz

Visit the U-Bahn at Nollendorfplatz, once the most beautiful place in West Berlin. Several U-Bahn lines cross here, and the station is crowned by a truly beautiful building. The formerly independent city of Charlottenburg did not want a stinking train snorting past its beautiful villas.

34

Breitscheidplatz

Visit Breitscheidplatz, centered on the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. The square is dedicated to the memory of Wilhelm I and his Hohenzollern family. Once meant to be cleared completely, resistance led to the preservation of the church ruins and the tower. The new church and hall are built outside, designed by Egon Eiermann.

35

Landwehr Canal

Explore the Landwehr Canal, offering orientation in the city and running along the Ministry of Defense. Built by Peter Joseph Lenné, this waterway served multiple purposes, including cargo shipping and drainage. Consider taking a boat tour to view Berlin's sights from the water.

36

Nollendorfplatz

Observe how the U-Bahn emerges and disappears, depending on the direction. Built in 1902, the U-Bahn runs above-ground due to financial constraints and boggy ground. The area between Bülowbogen and Nollendorfplatz has always been a hub for gay culture, with gay bad boy balls and lesbian hallways.

37

Kulturforum

Visit the Kulturforum, once intended as a counterpart to Museum Island. Explore buildings such as the Philharmonie, New State Library, and New National Gallery. The picture gallery houses old masters, and a new building designed by Herzog & De Meuron will contain 20th-century art, stirring debate over its design.

38

Bendlerblock

Visit the Bendlerblock, once the high command of the army. Here, Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg was shot after his attempt on Hitler failed. Today, it houses a branch of the Ministry of Defense, and the adjacent Shell building is also rented to the BMVe.

39

Neue Nationalgalerie (New National Gallery)

Appreciate the architectural highlight of the Neue Nationalgalerie, a self-supporting metal roof on a glass building designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Originally intended for a villa in Cuba, this building now houses changing exhibitions and displays 20th-century paintings in the basement.

40

Sony Center

Experience the architectural marvel of the Sony Center on Potsdamer Platz, designed by Helmut Jahn. Admire the daring glass and steel construction topped by a sloping roof reminiscent of Fujiyama. The historic wing of the Hotel Esplanade, moved and integrated into the center, adds a touch of history to this modern complex.

41

Site of the Former Wall Near Potsdamer Platz

Visit the small square near Potsdamer Platz to see buildings and structures from four eras of history. Located along the former wall, you'll find buildings from the German Empire, Gropius-Bau, and the Berlin House of Representatives. A remnant of the Wall stands behind the Topography of Terror documentation center.

42

Gropius Bau

Visit the Gropius Bau, built as a handicraft museum by Martin Gropius. Heavily damaged during the war, it was restored and now hosts major exhibitions. Located close to the Wall, the entrance was initially on the other side. The battered sculptures still bear witness to the time of decay.

43

Topography of Terror

Visit the excavation site and information hall of the Topography of Terror, located south of the remains of the Wall. This site reveals remnants of cellars where Nazi security organs interrogated and mistreated victims, planning their crimes against humanity. The open-air museum and information hall document these atrocities.

44

Remnant of the Berlin Wall

View the original remnant of the Berlin Wall in the city center. Heavily perforated by wallpeckers, this section lacks the usual death strip. A spectacular escape attempt was made from the former Luftwaffe building over to the West. Experience the Wall up close and get a glimpse of the Topography of Terror.

45

Checkpoint Charlie

Visit Checkpoint Charlie, the Allied checkpoint that once marked the boundary between East and West Berlin. Replicas of sentry boxes and museums commemorate the Cold War tension and escape attempts. This spot was the site of a tank standoff in 1961, a moment that almost triggered World War III.

46

Alexanderplatz

Explore Alexanderplatz, a central square with a rich history. Originally a trading area outside the city walls, it was transformed in GDR times with modern buildings and ample space for socialist displays. The television tower, still Germany's tallest, stands as a symbol of socialist engineering and architecture.

47

East Side Gallery

Visit the East Side Gallery, the longest surviving piece of the Berlin Wall (1.3 km). The wall is colorfully daubed by artists from all over the world after reunification in 1990. Motifs include the Trabbi driving through the Wall and the Brezhnev-Honecker kiss. The ravages of time are eroding this monster of history.

48

Oberbaum Bridge

Visit the Oberbaum Bridge, a landmark connecting the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg districts. Marked by medieval towers, it once served as the city boundary and customs border. Today, it connects the party mile from Schlesisches Tor to Warschauer Strasse, with subway lines running on the first floor and car traffic above.

49

Kreuzberg

Experience the alternative culture and trendy shops of Kreuzberg. Although gentrified, it boasts high rent increase rates. Road planners once planned to cut through the city here with a motorway. The area is characterized by old buildings and small restaurants.

50

Stalin-Allee (Karl-Marx-Allee)

Experience the Stalin-Allee, the former Stalin-Allee. Renamed after the dictator's death, the workers' palaces were built here, but also controversial.
