If someday you decide to visit Berlin, you will be amazed by its unforgettable treasures. Everything you see there will make you want to come back one day, because time won’t be enough to get to know all the wonderful places in this beautiful German city.
In the 1920s, Berlin was proclaimed the city of music and theater. Few cities in the world can be proud of having such majestic venues where the most famous operas and impressive concerts are performed.
“The world is one giant theatre, and Berlin is one of its most beautiful stages. Large opera houses and show arenas lie next to small independent theatres, while traditional houses stand beside modern acting workshops. The many events in Berlin are so diverse, and their requirements for a suitable location are so varying, from the vast Arena to the large concert hall, from an open-air-theatre to a small club cellar.”
A simple memory of what one day was a country divided in two, in Berlin there are vestiges of what once was the Berlin Wall. The graffiti on the wall spreads messages of union and peace, although the rubble is still there to show people that we can break the chains of oppression, and live in freedom.
The Brandenburg Gate is a great monument built at the end of the 18th century. You need to visit it both during the day and at night, so you can admire two different, yet equally majestic views. At the top of the monument, there is a copper Chariot representing the Goddess of Victory in a chariot pulled by four horses into the city.
The Holocaust Memorial is another must-see in Berlin. Consisting of 2711 concrete blocks of different sizes, this work honors the millions of Jews who were murdered in Europe. In Alexanderplatz square, the world clock, Weltzeituhr, shows the 24 time zones of the world. Its night lighting must be seen at night. The Kreuzberg district is the Berliner’s favorite. The Island of Museums is where the most important museums of Berlin are located. The Berlin Cathedral is the most beautiful church in the city.
The Bellevue Palace is one of the most popular places in the city of Berlin. On the banks of the river Spree is this building where important historical events happened. The Berlin Television Tower is the highest building in the city, with 368 meters. From the top of the tower, you will get the best view of the city, and you can enjoy a 360-degree view from the migratory restaurant.
There are many places to see in this constantly growing city that still shelters its history. Visit Berlin and see it for yourself!
