Day 7 - Berlin
Home » Germany » Germany - Week Itinerary » Day 7 - BerlinBerlin has certainly been through its share of historical events, and they have left their mark throughout the city. Historian Karl Scheffler said, “Berlin is always in the process of becoming,” and this statement still holds true today.
Throughout Berlin you can find art galleries, flea markets, over 300 clubs and over 7,000 bars and restaurants. Many of these are open 24 hours a day.
The Brandenburg Gate is Berlin's most famous landmark and remains a symbol of division overcome. For many years it stood by iteself next to the Berlin Wall. In December 1989, after the fall of the Wall, it was reopened. The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church on Kurfürstendamm is a memorial to peace and reconciliation and a symbol of Berlin's determination to rebuild during the post-war era.
Hackeshe Höfe is another extremely popular place for tourists. This area, which was painfully restored over time, consists of a web of eight courtyards designed for living and working. Built in the late 18th/early 19th century, the complex contained a mix of offices, workshops, multi-story factories and apartment.
For a meal, try Lorenz Adlon at The Hotel Adlon Kempinski. The first floor restaurant overlooks the Brandenburg Gate and serves “haute cuisine” and fine wines for your enjoyment.
