Rieben 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.

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.

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.

Catch an event at Olympiastadion during your trip to Berlin. Experience the acclaimed art galleries and fascinating museums in this vibrant area.
