Berlin is an edgy city, from its fashion to its architecture to its charged political history. The Berlin Wall is a sobering reminder of the hyper-charged postwar atmosphere, and yet the graffiti art that now covers its remnants has become symbolic of social progress. Check out the Weltzeituhr (world time) Clock, topped by a model of the solar system, then turn back time by dining at the historic Zur Letzten Instanz, a 16th century restaurant that was frequented by Napoleon and Beethoven.

This huge lush park stretches through central Berlin and provides a relaxing contrast to the bustle of the rest of the city.

Zoo Berlin is not only the oldest and most frequently visited zoo in the country, it is also home to the largest variety of species of any zoo in the world – including the only Giant Pandas in Germany. Please check the currently applicable Corona precautions on the Zoo‘s website before your visit.
This zoo is well worth visiting when in Berlin. It is easily accessible by both bus & train. Great to see that the zoo has been preserved in the middle of the city, and hasn't been "relocated " The animal enclosures are well laid out, and provide lots of photo opportunities. Lots of different species & generally close enough to see up close. Plan to spend at least a few hours looking around - there is lots to see. If you are planning on bringing kids, is worth while doing a bit of planning for lunches & snacks, as it's quiet expensive once inside the zoo.

Aquarium Berlin is one of Europe’s best-known aquariums. Behind the building’s historic façade, many mysterious, curious and monstrous creatures are waiting to be discovered – from colourful coral reef inhabitants to impressive sharks, and from gardening ants to fascinating giant snakes! Please check the currently applicable Corona precautions on the Aquarium‘s website before your visit.
I wanted to kill a couple of hours before going to the airport and as it was raining decided to pop in to the aquarium together with everybody else. Big queue on a Sunday with loads of kids which made viewing the exhibits a bit difficult as some families were picnicking in front of the exhibits to keep the kids quiet!! However despite all that I could see this was a place to come again as the variety of aquatic creatures was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my quick canter around and was relieved to get out as very claustrophobic. The adjacent zoo was a breath of fresh air even in the drizzle.

The setting is magnificent. We ate there two nights in a row solely because the atmosphere and surroundings were so delightful. The food was decent. Service was prompt. The beer was satisfying. We enjoyed the fire pits outside and the gluhwein.
