Berlin is a city that has a great deal to offer. Whether you enjoy museums, parks, ancient buildings, culture, art, shopping, or restaurants, you will find a satisfying diversity of things to see and do. It is essential to plan ahead as the city is packed with so many exciting attractions that you will be spoiled for choice. Here are ten amazing places to visit this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. The Reichstag<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>\n

The Reichstag houses the German parliament, and you must book in advance to pay a visit. It is worth the effort to see this building that survived wars, bombings, the Nazis, and the division of the country. <\/span><\/p>\n

The design by Sir Norman Foster to modernize the building includes an impressive glass dome that effectively combines the old and the new. The dome is open to the public for tours, and you can get a bird\u2019s eye of the hustle and bustle of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you need a PCR test before you travel by air, rapid PCRs are deemed as valid. If you\u2019re one of our followers in Baltimore, for example, and you need a <\/span>PCR Covid test, Baltimore<\/span><\/a> companies Drip Hydration, Rite Aid, and Quest Diagnostics, for example, have certified nurses who will come to your home to administer it. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Museum Island<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>\n

Museum Island<\/span><\/a> is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is home to five important museums where you can see over 6000 years of art and history. In the Altes Museum, you will see mainly Greek and Roman art of antiquity. Pergamum is a collection of ancient architecture. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Neues Museum houses mainly archeological objects. In the Bode Museum, you will see works from the Byzantine Empire to the start of the 19th century. Fully experiencing all these attractions in one day is impossible, so it is best to plan to visit one or two per day. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

3. Humboldt Forum<\/span><\/h2>\n

Opposite Museum Island is the Humboldt Forum, an area of about 30,000 square meters dedicated to art, science, and culture. Under one roof and spread over five floors, you will find state-of-the-art interactive exhibitions. <\/span><\/p>\n

The architecture combines ultra-modern building elements with the reconstructed facades of Berlin\u2019s former Baroque palace. The reconstructed sides shine in bright quince yellow, while the eastern side on the banks of the Spree is smooth and modern with a viewing platform and terrace above the water\u2019s surface on the riverbank. <\/span><\/p>\n

4. Mauerpark<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>\n

At the time Berlin was divided, the site of the current park was the border strip of the Berlin Wall. After reunification, it became a public park. <\/span>Mauerpark<\/span><\/a> was opened five years after the Wall fell. Today it is the site of a large and busy Sunday flea market where you may stumble upon some vintage clothing or a rare record at one of the many stalls. <\/span><\/p>\n

The market is hugely popular and is the venue for weekly Sunday afternoon Bearpit Karaoke. The route of the Berlin Wall runs directly through the park and forms a popular route for joggers and cyclists. <\/span><\/p>\n

5. Kurf\u00fcrstendamm<\/span><\/h2>\n

Kurf\u00fcrstendamm is the most expensive address in Berlin. Some of the most exclusive brands in the world have their home here. No trip to Berlin is complete without a stroll down this popular shopping boulevard to see the latest designer items. <\/span><\/p>\n

The boulevard is 3.5 kilometers long and officially begins at Breitscheidplatz, a major public square. Europe\u2019s biggest department store, KaDeWe, is situated on an extension known to the locals as Tauentzien. Other side streets are also full of designer boutiques, bookshops and caf\u00e9s<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
