Schwielowsee

Alexanderplatz is a marvellous example of 1960s architecture and a centralised meeting place within Berlin that’s particularly popular with local residents.

Say “Guten Tag” to some of the world’s most exotic creatures in one of the most comprehensive and 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.

Berliners come to celebrate their city in this public square, which was completely destroyed during the Second World War and isolated during the Cold War.

This symbol of German unification ranks alongside Paris' Arc de Triomphe as one of Europe’s most iconic and emotive monuments.

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