Sightseeing in Berlin on European Vacations

A great place to get your European vacations going is Berlin. Perhaps the most popular landmark in the city is the Berlin Wall, a partition that used to separate East Germany from West Germany which was torn down in 1989, signifying a new era for the nation. You can celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall by walking on whats left of it on Weddings southern border. At the Gedenksttte Berliner Mauer site there is a restored segment that's located next to a documentation center where stories of people who have attempted to cross the wall are detailed. Many visitors go to the former border crossing of the Sandkrugbrcke and lay flowers on a stone that commemorates the first person to be shot dead while fleeing the East. For a more comprehensive history of the Wall, head over to the Haus am Checkpoint Charlie, where there is a museum you can visit. The best place for afternoon kaffee und kuchen, a popular Berlin tradition for coffee and cake, is the picturesque Prenzlauer Berg district of Mitte.
