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.

St. Nicholas Church has been a landmark in the Berlin city center for over 800 years. The natural-stone basement floors are the oldest rooms in Berlin. The museums permanent exhibition offers bright insights into the history of the church and the surrounding Nikolaiviertel (St. Nicholas' Quarter).
This is the oldest church in Berlin built in the early 13th century. It was originally Roman Catholic then Lutheran from 1539. In 1938 it was deconsecrated shortly before the start of WWII. Having been bombed and damaged during the war it remained in ruins until the 1980. Today the church is largely reconstructed serving as a museum. The museum now houses many artifacts from the church's long history as well as the Nicholas Quarter, the neighborhood where it is located. It is located in Nikolaikirchplatz. Beautiful church, beautiful area!

You are about to visit the first Roman Catholic Church in the old Prussia! Modeled after Rome's Pantheon, in the neoclassical style, the church opened its doors in 1773. During World War II it was severely damaged, being reconstructed and reinaugurated in 1963. The façade keeps the traditional design, but the interior looks quite actual. We attended the 10AM Sunday Mass, which was in German language, as expected. Nice music and a welcoming atmosphere from local parishioners towards foreign visitors. Amazing Roman Catholic Cathedral. Enjoy!

The Berlin Wall memorial at Bernauer St. is one of the top attractions to visit in German capital (please see my detailed review on it). One of its highlights is this Chapel. But, before visiting the Chapel, please visit first the Documentation center diagonal to learn about it. The small Reconciliaton Chapel stands in the middle of the death strip, on the spot where a big Church used to be until the out of mind ex DDR regime blew it up in order to easier control the strip (the Church was obstructing the view). The present Chapel is very simple in design, yet very moving. It reminds me on the similar style Silence Chapel in Helsinki.
