Deepen your understanding of the past and present at the Reichstag Building

The Reichstag Building houses the German Parliament, and is one of the city's most significant historical landmarks. It has been modernised with a glass dome and surrounding roof terrace, offering spectacular views across the city. Take an audio-guided tour of the dome and learn facts about the building and its surroundings, or find out how the country is run in the modern day with a tour of the Bundestag.The parliamentary history exhibition “From the Reichstag to the Bundestag” tells the story of the building from its origins to the present day. For a deeper understanding of the past and the present, join the daily lectures in the visitor's gallery of the plenary chamber.
Discover the artefacts and masterpieces of Museum Island

Nestled in the heart of the capital, Museum Island consists of a complex of five museums. One ticket will grant you access to all five museums, where you can discover works from Berlin itself, as well as from further afield. Most notably, the bust of the Egyptian queen Nefertiti is located inside The Neues Museum. Lose yourself in time in The Alte Nationalgalerie, which showcases architecture inspired by the Acropolis in Athens, and exhibits everything from neoclassical works of art to early modernist masterpieces from renowned artists including Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir.
Re-live Berlin's history at Brandenburg Gate

Stand by Brandenburg Gate, one of Berlin's most iconic landmarks, and imagine the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, when locals from East and West gathered at the gate for its official opening, leading it to become a symbol of reunified Germany. The gate is adorned with a statue known as the “Quadriga,”, which depicts the goddess of victory driving a chariot pulled by four horses. Apart from its significant history, Brandenburg Gate is also an example of neoclassic architecture, and is well-located, facing Pariser Platz, one of the city's most picturesque squares.
Enjoy art outdoors at the East Side Gallery

Located at the former site of the Berlin Wall, the East Side Gallery is the world's longest open-air gallery. Stretching for 1.3km, it showcases contributions from 118 artists from 21 different countries. Here you can contemplate notable works including Thierry Noir's vibrant murals and Birgit Kinders's Trabant, which depicts a car breaking through the wall. Begin your trip at Warschauer Straße station and take a leisurely stroll along the gallery with its picturesque setting beside the banks of the river Spree. With the Mercedes Benz Arena nearby, the route makes an enjoyable precursor for those watching a concert or sporting event during the evening.
