Besichtigung

Brandenburg Gate

Wahrzeichen

It is the symbol of German reunification. Brandenburg Gate is the first stop for every visitor to Berlin! The city’s iconic landmark offers fascinating insights into the city’s history. Of course, the Brandenburg Gate never closes – so you can visit it any day in the year. The Brandenburg Gate is one of the most iconic sights in today’s vibrant Berlin. More than just Berlin’s only surviving historical city gate, this site came to symbolise Berlin’s Cold War division into East and West – and, since the fall of the Wall, a reunified Germany. Architecturally, the sandstone Brandenburg Gate also represents one of the earliest and most attractive examples of a neo-classical building in Germany.

Berliner Dom

Kirche

Berliner Dom is the Cathedral Church of Berlin and burial place of the Hohenzollern family.This place is located in the museum island area with all its splendor. The monumental Cathedral Church in Berlin is a major attraction – a richly decorated church interior, fascinating history and impressive architecture. It is one of the main landmarks in Berlin’s cityscape – and marks the spot of the impressive basilica housing the city’s most important Protestant church. With its elaborate decorative and ornamental designs, the church interior is especially worth seeing. Yet although the church is known as a cathedral, it actually has the status of a parish church – though not just any parish. This was a representative stage for the Hohenzollern dynasty, the rulers of Prussia and later the German Emperors. Today, as the High Parish and Cathedral Church, the church serves the Protestant community in Berlin and the surrounding areas.

Museum Island

Top Plätze

Museum Island in Berlin is a small island that contains five prominent museums. All of the museums are built between 1824 and 1930 and have been renovated many times since then. The exhibits in these museums include a wide range of art and cultural history spanning over 6,000 years. Just opposite Museum Island, Berlin's magnificent Berlin Cathedral is also located.

Alexanderplatz

Wahrzeichen

Alexanderplatz has always been one of the liveliest places in Berlin, with shops, cinemas, restaurants, and many attractions within walking distance.The square is named after the Russian Alexander and is often referred to simply as Alex. This place is Berlin's top tourist attraction, but also a place visited by many Berliners. For this reason, we recommend that you pay more attention to your belongings here. Still, seeing this place and visiting the shops will be a really fun activity. With more than 360,000 visitors daily, Alexanderplatz is, according to one study, the most visited area of Berlin, beating Friedrichstrasse and City West. It is a popular starting point for tourists, with many attractions including the Television tower, the Nikolai Quarter and the Rotes Rathaus situated nearby.

East Side Gallery

Kunst

Once it was the Berlin Wall. Now it’s the longest open-air gallery in the world. At 1316 metres long, the open-air art gallery on the banks of the Spree in Friedrichshain is the longest continuous section of the Berlin Wall still in existence. Immediately after the wall came down, 118 artists from 21 countries began painting the East Side Gallery, and it officially opened as an open air gallery on 28 September 1990. Just over a year later, it was given protected memorial status. In more than a hundred paintings on what was the east side of the wall, the artists commented on the political changes in 1989/90. Some of the works at the East Side Gallery are particularly popular, such as Dmitri Vrubel’s Fraternal Kiss and Birgit Kinders’s Trabant breaking through the wall.
