Birkenwerder Travel Guide

There are many debates about where the real centre of Berlin is, but Alexanderplatz, with its teetering tower and retail therapy, is certainly a contender.

Visit some of the world’s most exotic animals without leaving the city. Berlin houses one of the biggest and most elegant zoos in Europe.

Often described as “Berlin’s Champs-Élysées,” this elegant promenade is the city’s premier shopping strip and is punctuated with a moving war memorial.

This public square once lay divided between East and West Germany, now it brings people together in a celebration of their city.

One of Europe’s most powerful landmarks, this German symbol dates back to 1791 and has played a huge role in the country’s political culture ever since.

You can learn about the history of Berlin with a visit to Checkpoint Charlie. Discover the fascinating museums and notable monuments in this vibrant area.
