Berlin is one of Europe’s most important cities economically and a major destination for travelers. Its key historic sites should be among your first stops, including the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, the Topography of Terror Museum, and the Allied Museum. No trip to Berlin is complete without seeing what’s left of the Berlin Wall either, and the best place to see it is the East Side Gallery, the longest remaining section.
Take some time to explore the Nikolai Quarter, which is the heart of the old city in Berlin, and get some fresh air at the Bathing Lakes, Tempelhofer Feld, or the Tiergarten. If you’re in Berlin on a Sunday, don’t miss Mauerpark, one of the city’s biggest flea markets.
