Things to do in Berlin

Few cities show their history as openly as Berlin. The Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag with its glass dome, surviving stretches of the Wall and former bunkers all sit within a short ride of each other, telling the story of Prussia, two world wars, division and reunification.

Berlin is also green, creative and easy to get around. Climb the TV Tower or rise above the rooftops in a tethered balloon for the big picture, spend an afternoon among dinosaur skeletons at the Natural History Museum, then hop on a sightseeing bus to join the dots between neighbourhoods.
