Culture and history in Berlin: Museum Island and Gendarmenmarkt

One of the most popular sights in Berlin Mitte is the Museum Island with its numerous interesting museums, the picturesque Lustgarten and the imposing Berlin Cathedral. Of course, you can also get a good overview of the city on the very popular Spree tours. If you are travelling in Berlin with children, you should plan a stop at the Berlin Zoo – the oldest zoo in Germany with an impressive variety of animals. For older children, a visit to the Computer Games Museum with its many interactive offers is a good idea. The 60-year history of computer games is impressively presented here. And while you are here, a portion of German history is a must. At the Gendarmenmarkt with the Schauspielhaus, the German and French Cathedrals, you can feel the capital’s turbulent history just as much as at Checkpoint Charlie. Here you can impressively relive the turbulent times of the divided city in a small museum. The Eastside Gallery is also a popular photo subject. On the site you will find the longest surviving section of the Berlin Wall at 1.3 km with around 100 impressive paintings on the subject of reunification. A museum of a different kind is the DDR Museum. Here you can immerse yourself in the everyday life of the socialist state in fully furnished apartments – this is how German history comes to life!
