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.

An island nature preserve on the western outskirts of the city.
If you looking for a place away from the busy city, then peacock island is perfect. You can find a small castle with peacocks roaming around. (castle will be renovated until 2024 and is closed until then.)

The site where Nazi meetings took place is now a haunting memorial to their victims.
My son and I took the train from the city centre to Wannsee and had a very enjoyable journey. The buses and trams were on strike but the walk from the train station to the house is about 30mins and quite enjoyable. The houses and area here are quite attractive and quiet. The conference house is a very lovely house with well tended gardens. The information in the house is extensive and shows the history of antisemitism in Europe from the early ages through the Nazi regime. Most of the history covers the Nazi Regime but there is a lot of good information from the post-WW1 era. The documents from the actual conference are eye-opening and being in the room it all took place is quite thought provoking. It may be a bit away from the city centre but really worth the effort!
