For every taste and everybody's budget, Berlin offers a large number of content, but you must set aside a few days for that. You can start from The Brandenburg Gate, symbol of Berlin, on which is The Goddess of Victory.
Beside the gate is located the German Reichstag-Parliament, and you can climb the elevator to the glass dome, that is free. If you go to Avenue Unter den Linden , where there are many museums and cultural monuments ( German Historical Museum, Babel Platz, Stasi- die Ausstellung), you will arrive to Aleksanderplatz - whilom center of the Democratic Republic of Germany.
When you are at it, climb to the TV tower " Fernsehturm " and you will enjoy in a fantastic view of Berlin. The place where erstwhile was the Berlin Wall, certainly is one of the biggest attraction, also the check-point Charlie - border crossing in the Cold War.
Near is the former Gestapo headquarters, where is the exhibition which testifies to the crimes of the Nazi regime. If you want to go back further in history, visit the Baroque summer palace of Queen Charlotte Sophia- Schloss Charlottenburg, but if you want to see whole palace, you must set aside one day.
Nearby is the Olympic Stadium, built in 1936th for the purposes of this sports event.
