  1. Tiergarten
    Pass by
    Tiergarten is a large city park in central Berlin. Covering an area of over 200 hectares, it is one of the city's most popular green spaces and offers a mix of lush forests, open meadows and scenic paths. Originally designed as a hunting ground for Prussian kings, the park is now a recreational area for locals and tourists.
  2. Pass by
    The government district is located directly on the Spree. Opposite the historic Reichstag building is the modern Federal Chancellery. This is part of the impressive Band des Bund building complex, which is about eight times the size of the White House in Washington.
  3. Berlin Central Station
    Pass by
    Berlin Central Station is the most important railway junction in the city and is located near the Spree River in the heart of Berlin. It was opened in 2006 and is one of the largest and most modern railway stations in Europe. The striking glass and steel design of the station with panoramic views and a huge central hall makes it a remarkable architectural landmark.
  4. Pass by
    The Reichstag is Germany's historic parliament building in Berlin and is known for its striking architecture and political significance. Completed in 1894, the building was the seat of the parliament of the German Reich and later became the scene of decisive moments in German history, including the Reichstag fire in 1933. After extensive reconstructions after World War II, the building was reopened in 1999 as the seat of the Bundestag. The most famous feature is the glass dome designed by architect Norman Foster, which offers panoramic views of the city and symbolizes transparency in government.

    Friedrichstraße is a main street in central Berlin and is known for its vibrant mix of shopping, culture and history. The historically significant street was once divided by the Berlin Wall during the Cold War and is now a busy thoroughfare with luxury boutiques, department stores, theatres and restaurants. Among the main attractions along Friedrichstraße are the Friedrichstadt Palace, a well-known venue for cabaret and performances, and the historic Friedrichstraße railway station, a transport hub.
  6. Berliner Dom
    Pass by
    Berlin Cathedral is a stunning Baroque-style church on Museum Island in the heart of Berlin. Completed in 1905, it is the largest church in the city and a prominent landmark. The cathedral has an impressive dome, ornate interiors and beautiful mosaics, making it an important example of Berlin's architectural heritage. The Hohenzollern family graves are also located here.
