The German capital is the second largest city in the European Union. Some features of medieval buildings have been preserved in it. Its cathedrals and squares, museums and theaters are popular with tourists, and magnificent parks become an indispensable item on the "Berlin in 3 Days" program, because the main city of Germany is one of the greenest in the Old World.
Symbols and landmarks
The capital of Germany is the historic quarter of Nikolaiviertel and several satellite cities merged into a single agglomeration. As a result, the so-called Greater Berlin was formed, the attractions of which were scattered in various areas.
The main hallmark of their capital, the Germans call the Bradenburg Gate, built at the end of the 18th century. They are called the Gates of Peace, because they once served as the entrance to the city. The architectural monument in the style of classicism was made in the image of the Propylaea of the Acropolis in Athens.
An equally significant symbol and landmark for tourists who find themselves in Berlin for 3 days is the TV tower in the Mitte district. The high-rise structure is present on all postcards with views of the city.
Along the old avenues
For the most active tourists, the project "Berlin in 3 days" will not seem too difficult. With the proper desire, you can have time to visit all the most important memorable places of the city:
- The Cathedral is the largest Protestant church built at the end of the 19th century in the Baroque style. The majestic structure of Silesian marble reaches 114 meters, and the park in front of the temple is a unique example of high-class landscape design.
- Lustgarten Park on the Museum Island, which was part of the City Palace. Its foundation began in the 16th century, then the park underwent many changes and served the townspeople for a variety of purposes.
- Maiden Bridge, famous for its legends and rituals associated with it. It is the oldest and only one in the German capital. It once housed the best sewing workshops and establishments in the city, visited exclusively by men.
- Neue-Wache, where a memorial was opened in honor of all the victims and destruction of recent wars. The building was built at the beginning of the 19th century in the style of German classicism. Despite its rather compact size, the memorial makes an impressive impression and looks monumental and solemn to become an object of visit for a guest of Berlin for 3 days.
- Palace Bridge, the first version of which existed in this place between the banks of the Spree already in the 15th century. It is famous for the fact that it was for him that Napoleon entered the city in 1806.
