The Best Things to Do in Berlin

Things to do in Berlin include visits to many cafes, clubs, bars, museums, art galleries, shops, and historic sites. Reichstag Building and its new glass dome--offering panoramic views of the city--is a perfect example of the fusion of renovation and innovation so typical for today's Berlin. Museums like Topography of Terror and Mauermuseum - Museum Haus am Checkpoint Charlie speak of the city's not so glorious past, while the 18th-century Brandenburg Gate epitomizes European unification and continued peace. Once trapped in the no man's land dividing East and West Germany, Potsdamer Platz now attracts visitors with its ultra-modern architecture and ample shopping opportunities.
