Arrival is possible with four different options.  

1.  By aircraft – Berlin has three airports.  

2.  By train – it is a junction of the German Rail Network.  Example, the station “Bahnhof Zoo” is found inside Belin Mitte ( town East ), thus you have “instantaneous access” to a lot of sights and bars.  

three.  By automobile – All motorways to Berlin lead to the “Berliner Ring”.  From there you can get to the inner town on various access roads.  

four.  By Bus – it’s a well-priced and cosy way to travel to this ( or any other ) city.  The “Zentraler Omnibusbahnhof” ( ZOB – Central Bus Station ) is situated near the Exhibition Centre ( ICC ), in Charlottenburg, town West.  From there, you have connections to over 350 destinations in Germany and Europe!  

Now, shall we get started?  O.K, c’mon, take my hand, let’s go sightseeing!  :- )

Reichstag

The Reichstag was made from 1884-94 by Paul Wallot, is the seat of the German Bundestag or federal government and, with its new transparent dome, one of the largest crowd-draws in Berlin.  Its colourful past reflects the turbulence of German history since the 19th century.  From 1994-99, the Reichstag was reconstructed and extended by the designer Sir Norman Forster.  He made a decision to add an accessible transparent dome, in which you can walk thru and “participate” and view how political decisions get made.  One asserts, “We ( the government ) wish to show that we have zip to hide”.  Near the Reichstag you can take advantage of the many %LINK2%.

Friedrichstrasse

This is the most legendary street in the whole city.  It mixes the architecture of the New Berlin with the tradition of the “Golden Twenties”.  In the Twenties, the 3.5 km long street was the location for pleasure palaces, cafs, theatres and variety theatres like the famous “Wintergarten”.  After the division of the town, the Wall also cut thru this street.  The internationally renowned Checkpoint Charlie was located at the border of the districts of Kreuzberg and Mitte and therefore at the border of east and west Berlin.  Not only visitors but also the employees from the new, stylish offices, agencies and media centers all enjoy the urban spirit and NY flair of the new Friedrichstrasse.  

Checkpoint Charlie

From 1961 to 1990, Checkpoint Charlie was the sole border crossing point for the Allies, foreigners, employees of the Permanent illustration, and officers of the GDR.  Which was the place where Soviet and American tanks stood face to face.  Today, the checkpoint is venerated by a border sign and a soldier’s post.  

Stuck for a second, the second part arrives soon :- ) Then you can go on with your Berlin sightseeing Tour.  In it we will go to places such as the Alexanderplatz, the Brandenburg Gate, and the Museum’s Island.
