LOTS OF ATTRACTIONS IN BERLIN!

Berlin hides so much exciting history, both from World War II and the DDR era, but the city has been the center of trade, politics and culture for many centuries. As Berlin has many must-see attractions, it’s a good idea to read a about the sights from home.

Berlin is also called the cultural capital of Europe. In addition to the must-see sights, the Berlin Wall, the Brandenburger Tor and Check Point Charlie, the city also hides great treasures. The bust of the Egyptian queen Nefertiti can be seen at the Neues Museum and the fascinating T-Rex skeleton at the Museum für Naturkunde.

Apart from that, there are many other attractions in Berlin that you just have to see. Read about it all here!

AMAZIN SIGHTS IN BERLIN

KADEWE

In the old capitalist Western Berlin, KaDeWe was a crown jewel in the world of department stores. Here you will still find all the luxuries you could ever want. Visit the chocolate department and try to count how many different kinds of chocolate you can actually get. In general, the whole area around Kurfürstendamm is an eldorado for big and small shoppers, with lots of high street stores and great deals.

STOLPERSTEINE

Just around the corner, on Genthiner Strasse, are in the sidewalk some of the many small Stolpersteine, which Berlin is full of. The stones are memorials to the Jews, Roma and other ethnic groups who were deported by the Nazis and exterminated in the concentration camps. The stones are engraved the names, date of birth and death of the deportees as well as the name of the death camp. A very dark chapter of Berlin’s history, which is especially important to keep in mind in these times.

THE RITTERSPORT MUSEUM

There are generally many places in Berlin where you are reminded of the horrors of war, and should you need to get your mood back on track, you can create your own RitterSport in the RitterSport Museum. Also enjoy the small exhibition, and maybe book a chocolate class, where you learn how to make chocolate. It’s recommended that the visit should be made at the end of the day, as the museum also has a shop with an extensive selection of extra-large RitterSport chocolates. Since she is very fond of chocolate, it was a heavy burden that she had to lug around for the rest of the day.

CANAL TOUR

Take a canal tour of Berlin and experience parts of the city that you would not otherwise have seen. You can get on in several places in the city, including from Nikolaiviertel next to the Fehrnsehturm. On the trip you will pass the Reichstag, Kohl-losseum, Museum Island, and you will see the Tiergarten from the water side.

TELEVISION TOWER

Fernsehturm, the TV tower on Alexanderplatz, must also just be experienced! It is recommended to book your tickets from home, because the queues can be long. In the tower there is a view over Berlin, and it is strange to imagine that much of Berlin after the bombings during World War II was nothing but rubble. When you book a ticket, also reserve a table in the ever turning restaurant on the top floor.

TRAMS

If you want to go further out into the city, trams run from Alexanderplatz – and many other places in the former eastern part. Trams are an incredibly practical way of transportation. If you have bought a Berlin Welcome Card, you can just board.

BERLIN WALL MEMORIAL

Take the tram to Bernauerstrasse, where you will find a section of the Berlin Wall as well as an open-air museum. Between the original sections of the wall, it becomes very clear how the city was once divided. There are memorial plaques for those who made the attempt to get from east to west but did not survive.

WALL PARK

Right next door, in the Mauerpark, you can find a large flea market every Sunday – but also so much more. Here the Berliners hang out side by side with the tourists. A huge open, green park is filled to the brim with people playing football, dancing, grilling, and sunbathing. For children there is a large playground.
