Have a look on this!

Berlin is impressive. And there are many possibilities to discover its sights. By foot, by bike, on inline skates, by bus or streetcar. Or by ship across “Kreuzberg”, passing the German “Reichstag”, the Museum Island (“Museums Insel”) and the “Nikolaiviertel”.

The most important hiking ways in the city take you from Brandenburger gate through “Unter den Linden” to the “Alexanderplatz”, or from “Friedrichstraße “ through “Oranienburger Straße” to the “Hackeschen Höfen”.

A small selection:

Potsdamer Platz

Berlin's new center - with art, culture and commerce. A completely new district has come into being from one of the biggest construction sites of the world.
