Berlin

To visit Berlin is to dive into the heart of a captivating history through its most emblematic monuments. The ideal starting point is the famous Brandenburg Gate, a neoclassical masterpiece once a symbol of division, now an emblem of German unity. Close by, the Reichstag Palace, seat of Parliament, surprises with its modern glass dome that offers a grand panorama of the capital. As you continue your journey, the moving Memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe imposes the recollection with its thousands of grey concrete steles. Finally, it is impossible to miss the remains of the Berlin Wall at the East Side Gallery, transformed into a huge open-air urban art gallery. Finally, the slender silhouette of the Television Tower (Fernsehturm) on Alexanderplatz dominates the city from the top of its 368 meters, recalling the architecture of the Soviet era.
