The wonders of Berlin

Berlin is a city of infinite variety, with hundreds of impressive landmarks, from the Reichstag to the Berlin Wall. See the city from above by ascending the space-age TV Tower at Alexanderplatz, or take a boat trip down the River Spree or one of Berlin's tranquil canals. Museum Island is home to an array of antiquities, from the preserved Greek temple at the Pergamon Museum to the Egyptian artefacts at the Neues Museum. Families with young children will not be disappointed. Kollwitzplatz in Prenzlauer Berg is home to one of the biggest and best playgrounds in town. The sprawling Tiergarten park is another great outdoor option, while the Zoological Garden adjacent to the park is a long-standing hit with families seeking an exciting and educational day out.
