Attractions in Berlin

Walls, towers and fields of concrete blocks

With all the usual historical trimmings of a major, tourist-conscious European capital, plus an increasing number of new critical memorials that address some of the more shameful aspects of its position at the heart of Germany’s turbulent 20th century, Berlin attractions keep the visitor occupied. There are also parks, canals and lakes to provide some refuge, and any amount of small, idiosyncratic attractions scattered across this sprawling city.
