Pay a visit to the Brandenburg Gate; this 18th-century iconic landmark is a symbol of German reunification and a must-see attraction while you’re in Berlin. Nearby is the Reichstag building, housing the German parliament, and the expansive Tiergarten: Berlin's answer to Central Park.
Head to Museum Island, a UNESCO-protected site, to see some of the best museums in Germany. The Pergamon Museum is the crown jewel of the Museum Island. It houses a collection of unique museums such as the Middle East Museum, the Folk Museum, the Museum of Islamic Art, and the Antiquity Collection.
Also in Berlin, the Dahlem Museums offer a diverse selection of non-European art and ethnographic artifacts. The Gemäldegalerie is also worth a visit, with its collections of European artworks dating back to the 13th century.
