Urlaub in Berlin

As the capital city of Germany, Berlin is full of contrasts. The old Eastern part of the city is shedding the remainder of its Communist past and trying to catch up with its Western half. This is where you can see Berlin as it used to be, before the ravages of World War II. Modern West Berlin is worlds apart, rebuilt after almost total destruction in the war. You can enjoy the best of what both sides have to offer, such as the shopping and entertainment at Potsdamer Platz and the Ku'Damm, the legendary nightlife, historic landmarks, diverse restaurants, world-renowned museums, the famous cabarets, and much more. Whether you're a culture buff or a club hopper, you'll find plenty to do in Berlin.

Top-Sehenswürdigkeiten in Berlin

1.	A Touch of Islam Near Tempelhof If you want to step outside of Germany for awhile, visit the new Sehitlik Mosque, one of only a few traditional mosques in Berlin, and the largest in Germany. East Berliners protested the construction of this mosque, but the land on which it was built has been official Turkish territory for 140 years, when the Ottoman Empire was close friends with Prussia. Beside the mosque is an Islamic cemetery, founded in 1866, where Ottoman ambassadors and World War I Turkish soldiers are interred. « ausblenden
2.	East of Eden If you're a bibliophile who loves spending time amid piles of books, head to the bohemian bookstore East of Eden, which sells secondhand titles in English, French, and German. Readings are organized by the bookshop owners, and are held at the Gaslight Poetry Café around the corner. There is also live music on occasion. East of Eden is a popular hangout for an eclectic mix of locals, but tourists are slowly starting to discover this store too. « ausblenden
3.	The Graves of Famous Germans in the Mitte Established in 1762, the Dorotheenstädtischer cemetery in the center of town is the final resting place of many famous Berliners, among them playwright Bertolt Brecht, author Heinrich Mann, and architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The monuments that most visitors come to see are Schinkel's, Gottfried Schadow's, and Friedrich Stüler's, whose gravestone was destroyed in World War II and rebuilt in postmodern style. Within this cemetery sits a French cemetery, founded in 1780, where some notable Huguenots are buried who found refuge in Berlin after fleeing religious persecution in France. « ausblenden
4.	Museum Island An island on the Spree River, and also a UNESCO World Heritage Sight, Museum Island is one of the world's most renowned museum complexes. Current redevelopment through 2010 has resulted in the closing of the New Museum, but you can still visit the Old Museum with its collection of Prussian antiques, the Bode Museum's sculpture collections and Byzantine Art, the Pergamon Museum, and the Old National Gallery's display of 19th century paintings. The Pergamon Museum is the most popular and considered the best of the museums, with its massive collection of Greek, Roman, and Islamic antiquities. « ausblenden
5.	Charlottenburg Palace Built as a summer palace for Electoress Sophie Charlotte (who later became queen), Charlottenburg Palace was home to several Prussian kings. Over the years, this 17th century estate has gradually expanded. No longer a residence, the palace currently serves as a museum housing a collection of art that includes paintings and Asian ceramics. The courtyards and Baroque garden are considered to be the most enjoyable parts to explore. Classical concerts are occasionally held on the grounds. If you choose a self-guided tour, you are allowed limited access inside. Guided tours are available in German. « ausblenden
6.	The Reichstag Originally the House of Parliament, the Reichstag has seen many changes since its dedication in 1894. It's an important historical site for Berlin and all of Germany. The Republic of Germany was officially announced here in 1918, and Hitler came into power here in 1933. After the capital of West Germany was moved to Bonn, the Reichstag sat in ruins. It has since been restored, and became the seat of Parliament once again in 1999. You can visit certain sections, including the glass cupola, where you can see a panoramic view of the city. « ausblenden
7.	The Brandenburg Gate The Brandenburg Gate is Germany's most famous landmark, and arguably the most photographed sight in Berlin. It has set the scene for many major historical events, symbolizing Nazi power during World War II, and then the separation of East and West when the Berlin Wall closed it off from West Berlin. Since 1989, it's been redefined as a symbol of Germany's unity. It is now the setting for most of Berlin's major celebrations, and the surrounding Pariser Platz is usually swarming with tourists and the occasional wedding couple looking for a dramatic photo opportunity. « ausblenden
8.	The Berlin Wall The most famous relic of East Germany, the Berlin Wall, is one of Berlin's top tourist draws. You won't see much of it, as very little of the wall remains intact. A double row of paving stones winds through Berlin, marking the wall's original location. A few parts and watchtowers are still on display around the city. The only part of the wall that has been preserved in its original state is known as the Memorial of German Separation. You can also visit the East Side Gallery, where the wall serves as a canvas for over one hundred international artists.

Insider-Tipps für Berlin

1.	Beware of Bicycle Paths Berlin, as with most of Germany, is a very easy for cyclists to navigate. There is a clear difference between pedestrian and bike paths, but they are often together, so the unsuspecting tourist may choose the wrong path. You must be observant, otherwise you can be seriously injured. Cyclists have the right of way on bike paths, and if you are injured in a collision with a cyclist, you will be to blame. In order to avoid this problem, consider renting a bike yourself. There are various places around town where you can do just that. « ausblenden
2.	Public Transportation When you purchase tickets for public transportation, make sure to validate your ticket at one of the yellow boxes you find at the station. There are undercover employees sitting on the U-Bahn and S-Bahn trains, just waiting to check that everything is valid. If you fail to validate your ticket, you could face a hefty fine that you must pay on the spot, and it's almost impossible to talk your way out of one. Women shouldn't travel alone on public transportation at night. Travel in groups or take a taxi. « ausblenden
3.	Pieces of the Wall If you feel that a piece of the Berlin Wall is a great souvenir to take home, proceed with caution. There is often no way of knowing who is selling an authentic part of the wall. Many souvenir shops and vendors around the city sell these souvenirs, but most are not real. Some tourists try to chip off their own pieces of the wall, but this is illegal. Look for a reputable vendor who can provide proof of authenticity. « ausblenden
