Meet in front of the Brandenburg Gate
It was an integral part of the Berlin Wall and now represents the symbol of reunified Germany. Gigantic and remarkable during the day, you will be charmed by its golden lights at night, which reflect its majestic columns and its sculpture of the goddess of Victory.
To join her, feel free to stroll along Unter den Linden, Berlin's famous promenade.
Visit the Reichstag Building
It is the symbol of the German capital and has survived years of history. After being burned and bombed, it rose from its ashes at reunification. You have the opportunity to ascend into the glass dome to contemplate a breathtaking panorama!

3/ Go to Checkpoint Charlie
For history buffs, this place is a must-see! It was one of the posts that allowed people to cross the Berlin Wall during the Cold War. When you visit, you can find some remnants of the wall.
4/ Stroll through Potsdamer Platz
The new Berlin is coming alive on Potsdamer Platz, which embodies German renewal. Built around the demarcation zone that separated East and West for years, it now houses many offices, museums, theaters, etc.
