What to expect
The perfect place to begin your tour, the Brandenburg Gate is the most famous and most recognizable monument in Berlin. It is a splendid 18th c. Neo-Classical monument that has featured prominently in the political history of Prussia, France, the Soviet Union, and both divided and unified Germany.
Pariser Platz
Historically, the grandest square in Berlin and the sight of many important historical events. It's home to the U.S. and French Embassies, and the famous Hotel Adlon.
Hilter had a multi-story underground structure built that served as his final residence, along with many Nazi officials, and as his place of death. It was deliberately destroyed after WWII and now a parking lot occupies the site.
A vast plaza of irregular blocks, set at varying heights, inducing a maze-like sense of disorientation to abstractly convey the horrors of the Holocaust.
Victory Column
A 19th c.Neoclassical column, 67 m (219 ft) in height, that is one of the most recognizable monuments in Berlin. NOTE: We get a nice view of the column from near the Brandenburg Gate but DO NOT walk to the column as it is somewhat far and out of the direction of the itinerary.
Seat of the former legislature of the German Empire, Weimar Republic and later a symbol for the Nazi regime. In ruins for decades, it was reconstructed, combining classical and modern elements, and now is the seat of the federal Parliament.
Spree
Berlin's main river has a beautiful boardwalk passing some of the city's best new architecture. It is an experience no visitor should miss.
Museum Island

Gendarmenmarkt
Impressive square that is known for its architecture ensemble of the Concert Hall (Konzerthaus), which is home to the Berlin orchestra, the French Cathedral (Französischer Dom) and the German Cathedral (Deutscher Dom). The latter are technically not cathedrals but are colloquially called so.
French Cathedral
Iconic 18th c. "cathedral" in Berlin known for its tall slender tower
The best known Berlin wall crossing point from East Berlin to West Berlin. It was located in the American quarter, serving as a face off between the USA and the western world and the USSR and the communist world. It was the site of John F. Kennedy's famous Berlin speech and has been featured in countless movies and novels.
Memorial created in 1998 that preserves a 60 m (200 ft) long section of the "the Wall," the way it was when it fell. There is also a visitor center (closed Mondays) featuring information about the wall, including a short video, remnants of the wall as well as historic photos.
