The most interesting sights are:

​

The Brandenburg Gate is an iconic neoclassical monument, completed in 1791. Designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans, it resembles Athens' Acropolis entrance, highlighting its grandeur with twelve Doric columns supporting a transverse beam. Above, the Quadriga, a sculpture of a chariot pulled by four horses driven by Victoria, the goddess of victory, symbolizes peace. Historically, it has witnessed numerous pivotal events, including Napoleon's conquests and the Cold War when it stood beside the Wall, symbolizing division. Today, it represents German unity and freedom, attracting visitors globally as a beacon of historical and cultural significance.

​

Checkpoint Charlie was one of the most famous Cold War border crossings between East and West Berlin, operational from 1961 to 1990. Located at the junction of Friedrichstraße and Zimmerstraße, it served as the main entry point for foreigners and Allied personnel into the east. Named by the Western Allies, "Charlie" comes from the NATO phonetic alphabet. The checkpoint became a symbol of the Cold War, representing the division of East and West Germany and the broader conflict between the Eastern Bloc and Western powers. Today, it is a major tourist attraction featuring a replica of the original guardhouse and numerous exhibits on Cold War history.

​

The Führerbunker was Adolf Hitler's final headquarters during World War II. Constructed in two phases (1936 and 1944), this underground bunker complex was the site of Hitler's last days before he committed suicide on April 30, 1945. Situated near the Reich Chancellery in the government district, it was part of a larger bunker system designed for the Nazi leadership's protection. Post-war, the site remained largely unmarked to discourage neo-Nazi pilgrimages. Today, only a modest information board marks the location, detailing the bunker's history and its significance as the epicenter of Nazi command during the final, tumultuous months of the Third Reich.

​

The Reichstag building, completed in 1894, is a historic edifice initially constructed to house the Imperial Diet of the German Empire. Designed by Paul Wallot, the architecture features a distinctive neo-Renaissance style. After suffering significant damage in a 1933 fire and further destruction during World War II, the Reichstag stood largely unused until German reunification. It underwent extensive renovations led by architect Norman Foster in the 1990s, adding a modern glass dome that provides panoramic views of the city and symbolizes political transparency. Today, it serves as the meeting place of the German Bundestag, the national parliament, and remains a prominent symbol of Germany's democratic evolution and resilience.

​

The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, commonly known as the Gedächtniskirche and located on the Kurfürstendamm in the bustling heart of the city. Originally built in the 1890s, it was heavily damaged during a World War II bombing raid in 1943. The ruined tower, preserved as a partial ruin, stands as a poignant reminder of the destruction of war and has been nicknamed "the hollow tooth." A modern church building, featuring a striking octagonal shape and walls made of stained glass, was constructed alongside the old tower in the early 1960s. Today, the church is a major tourist attraction and an active place of worship, symbolizing peace and reconciliation.
