Top places to visit

1. Alexanderplatz

Alexanderplatz may not be one of the most beautiful areas in the city, yet, despite the surrounding 1960s Communist-era architecture, it remains one of the most popular meeting places for locals.

A tall tower with a spire, a church with a green roof, and modern buildings in the background.

2. Brandenburg Gate

This towering 30-metre-high neoclassical archway in the heart of the city is an iconic feature of Berlin—and it has long played a role in German history. Modelled on the gateway to the Acropolis in Athens, the Brandenburg Gate was built back in 1791 as a symbol of peace standing at the entrance point to the grand boulevard Unter den Linden.

3. Kurfürstendamm

Head to Charlottenburg’s famous boulevard to experience the glamour of old Berlin coupled with the style of contemporary cosmopolitan Europe. The historic Kurfuerstendamm is one of the city’s oldest streets and was built as a route to a prominent hunting lodge now on the outskirts of the city. Today, exclusive boutiques, major department stores and luxury hotels line Kurfuerstendamm, or Kudamm as locals sometimes call the street. At its eastern end find a somber reminder of the bombings of Berlin during World War II.

Street signs for Joachimsthaler Str. and Kurfürstendamm, a modern building with a swissotel sign, and a tall building with a statue.

4. Potsdamer Platz

Potsdamer Platz was once no man’s land. Divided between East and West Berlin, this former busy traffic intersection became a stranded empty space. But after the wall came down, the city wanted a public square which it could be proud of. A design competition was therefore organised. From no man’s land to Europe’s biggest building site, today, Potsdamer Platz (Potsdam Square) is home to modern architecture, business headquarters, retail plazas and wide-open public spaces. It is in this square that the divided city was able to work together once again.

5. Zoo Berlin

Berlin Zoo, or Zoologischer Garten in German, can be found inside the beautiful Tiergarten park. It covers 340,000 square metres and has almost 18,000 animals from 1,500 species. It opened in 1844, and was nearly destroyed in World War II. Now it is considered to be one of Europe’s finest zoological gardens, and has even been the home to some famous celebrities. The polar bear Knut, who was propelled to stardom and idolised through merchandise and TV appearances, lived here until he passed away in 2011.

6. Friedrichstrasse

Lined by some of Germany’s most exclusive department stores and surrounded by major historical attractions, the Friedrichstrasse cultural and shopping precinct in Berlin’s Mitte district has undergone extreme change since the fall of the Berlin Wall. However, at its center find one of the city’s most unusual tourist attractions, throwing you back into the Cold War era. Friedrichstrasse is today one of Berlin’s most visited streets. It is home to Checkpoint Charlie, one of the very few Cold War border crossings between East and West Berlin.
