Berlin can look back on a chequered history, even in the recent past. Yet today Germany’s capital city has reinvented itself, and is now a world city with an inimitable feeling for life.

With famous museums and three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a lively international art scene and trendy shopping districts, this is a place to stroll and explore. Berlin’s nightlife is also a living legend: clubs, bars and discos with no official closing time.

TOP 5: Experience

P The bird’s-eye view from the Fernsehturm (TV Tower)

P A concert by the Berlin Philharmonic

Enjoy one of the world’s leading symphony orchestras, with a global reputation forged by conductor Herbert von Karajan and continued today by Kirill Petrenko.

The tour continues down Berlin’s renowned Unter den Linden boulevard 4 with its impressive array of historical buildings and monuments. At Markgrafenstraße, turn left and you’re just a few minutes away from the beautiful Gendarmenmarkt 5. With its elegant ensemble of concert hall and churches – the Konzerthaus and the Deutsche and Französische Dom – the square’s harmonious design is inspirational. This is the perfect view for lunch at one of the many restaurants and cafés lining the square. Refreshed and restored, follow the crowds down Französische Straße and cross the popular Friedrichstraße. Head straight on to the Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas (Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe) 6 with its field of stelae open on all sides.

Your tour of the traces of the Berlin Wall begins at the East Side Gallery 1, the world’s longest open-air gallery. The art works here are painted on a 1.3-km section of the old inner Berlin Wall along the River Spree in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg – the longest section of Wall that has survived. Carrying on down Mühlenstraße, you reach Stralauer Platz 2 and its heritage site with remains of the Wall. Cross the Schillingbrücke bridge and carry on to the former border crossing point at Heinrich-Heine-Straße 3. The route leads on past the Peter Fechter Memorial 4, dedicated to the young man who was one of the Wall’s most tragic victims. Zimmerstraße is also close to Checkpoint Charlie 5, the world famous border crossing point. The Berlin Wall exhibition in the Mauermuseum Haus am Check-point Charlie (Berlin Wall Museum) 6 presents documentary films and eye-witness accounts as well as many exhibits and original artefacts used in escapes from East Germany. Checkpoint Charlie is also close to the BlackBox Cold War 7, with its photos, media stations and text panels offering a fascinating insight into the history of the East-West conflict. Here too you can find the asisi Panorama “The Wall” 8, a breathtaking panoramic picture of a divided Berlin conjuring up life along the Wall on

a fictive autumn day in the 1980s. Further down Zimmerstraße, the Topografie des Terrors (Topography of Terror) 9 shows a permanent exhibition on the Nazi regime at a site which also has around 200 metres of the original Berlin Wall. The course of the Wall here is also clearly marked with a double row of cobblestones. Along Stresemannstraße towards Potsdamer Platz a, the display panel of the Berlin Wall History Mile, information columns and an East German border watchtower all testify to the years of division. At Potsdamer Platz take S-Bahn lines S1, S2 or S25 to Nordbahnhof for the final stop on the tour – the Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer (Berlin Wall Memorial) b in Bernauer Straße. With its monument to the victims of a divided Germany, the Chapel of Reconciliation, Documentation Center, watchtower and historical remains, this site today gives the most vivid impression of the former border complex.
