10Best's Berlin Attractions & Activities

For a city so modern and fast-paced, Berlin certainly indulges its past. Indeed, the ultra-sleek phalanx of glass, steel and concrete does little to hide the city’s true treasures. Mitte, the central district, boasts prominent sights like Alexanderplatz and its signature television tower, 13th-century Nikolaikirche and golden-domed Neue Synagogue. West is the Tiergarten section, home to the city’s largest greenspace and the historic Reichstag, which received a modern glass dome in 1999. Southwest of Tiergarten is Charlottenburg, an area so esteemed in the 17th century that it became Queen Sophie-Charlotte’s summertime retreat. Today, its privileged status rests on the laurels of excellent shopping and dining. To the south is Kreuzberg, traditionally the city’s Turkish district and home today to Europe’s liveliest bohemian population. Outside Berlin proper, charming Potsdam and its Schloss Sanssouci are must-visits, as is Spandauer Zitadelle, a fortress that dates from the 13th century.
