Berlin Attractions
Berlin
Wall
160 kilometres of mainly fossil remains mark the end of the 28-year division
of East and West. Parts of the wall have been preserved near the Hauptbahnof
and the Reichstag. The East Side Gallery is the largest open-air gallery
in the world where the longest remaining section has been painted in bright,
optimistic colors.
Brandenburg
Gate
Commissioned by Friedrich Wilhelm II to represent peace, the gate was ironically
embedded in the Berlin Wall and firmly locked for the duration of Communist
rule. The gate now symbolises reunification and stands majestically in the
centre of Berlin physically joining the two sides of the city.
Pergamon
Museum
One of the most significant museums of ancient history in the world holding
the acquisitions of nineteenth-century German archaeologists including the
spectacular Pergamon Altar of Zeus (180 BC).
Museum
Island
This is the location of some Berlin's best museums; the Pergamon Museum,
Altes Museum, the Nationalgalerie and the Bodemuseum. The Berliner Dom,
church of the Hohenzollern family and built in1894, stands next to the Altes
Museum and houses the remains of 90 family members in its vault.
New
National Gallery
Cityscapes by Otto Dix and George Grosz highlight this comprehensive collection
of German paintings.
Schloss
Charlottenburg
Sumptuously restored palace commissioned by the future Queen Sophie Charlotte
in 1695 with Karl Friedrich Schinkel providing the final touches in the
early nineteenth century. Beautiful gardens open from dawn to dusk and a
collection of romantic paintings inside provide the perfect combination
for a days relaxation.

Berlin Travel Tips
When to Visit - Arts and Events
Berlin is a vast city renowned for a wild nightlife. There are more bars and cafés here than in any other European city and the tradition of 24-hour entertainment is alive and well. This social whirlwind is not reserved for the young but for the social animal of any age. Beer festivals are held at many locations throughout the year but it is the local shared love of live music that provides Berlin with its reputation as one of the liveliest places on earth.
Berlin Dining
The influx of immigrants has had a tremendous effect upon Berlin cuisine. Turkish falafel stalls run second only to kebab restaurants where truly authentic recipes are a far cry from the slightly dubious western European version that can often, quite literally, leave an unpleasant taste in the mouth. Indian and Mediterranean cooking is also excellent but the wonderfully civilised tradition of Fruhstuck, is the experience not to be missed. Available 24 hours a day in many places, everything associated with Germany features on the buffet style menu: Sausage, buttery eggs, sauerkraut, potato cakes, schnitzel, ham, cheeses, fresh rolls and an extensive list of juices and beers, with the result that the only difficulty is what to choose and what to leave out.
Berlin Tipping Advice
Service charges are generally added to restaurant and hotel bills in Berlin, making tipping unnecessary. Some of the smaller cafes and bars are excluded from this custom and it is standard practice to round up the bill to the nearest Deutschmark. The cost of service should be clearly stated and visible in brochures or on menus.
