Potsdamerplatz

The War Memorial, erected by the Soviet Union, is one of three memorials to fallen Russian soldiers in the city.

This 18th-century neoclassical triumphal arch is one of the best-known German landmarks: the grand entrance to the capital of Prussia.

The Holocaust Memorial is a stark, effective reminder of a dark chapter in the history of the world.

The Führerbunker is where Hitler spent his last days, cowering with his highest commanders whilst the Soviet army slowly approached Berlin.

With a plethora of exhibitions, this museum underscores the darker elements of the story of Germany.

A major cultural hub, Friedrichstraße is the perfect street for a leisurely day's shopping.
