Things to Do in Berlin
Weltballon Berlin
The Weltballon near Checkpoint Charlie lifts visitors 150 metres above Berlin in an open gondola for sweeping views over the city centre. The ride of about 15 minutes combines a spectacular panorama with a view over the former Wall strip.
Alexanderplatz
Alexanderplatz is one of Berlin's busiest squares, defined by the television tower, the World Clock and the distinctive postwar East German architecture around it.
AlexBalkon
On the 37th floor of the Park Inn Hotel at Alexanderplatz, the AlexBalkon offers a calmer panoramic view over Berlin than the nearby TV Tower.
Allied Museum Berlin
The AlliiertenMuseum in Dahlem documents the history of the Western Allies in Berlin from 1945 to 1994 with original objects such as the airlift aircraft.
Alte Nationalgalerie Berlin
The Alte Nationalgalerie Berlin displays 19th-century masterpieces from Caspar David Friedrich to the Impressionists in a temple-like building on Museum Island.
