Today is a mishmash of sights. Starting off with an independent look at the life, and rise to power, of Hitler, in the Berlin Story Bunker.
You can literally spends days down there, there is so much information. Housed inside a 6,500-square-metre WWII bunker, the museum painstakingly recounts some of the most infamous events in German history.
Then we hop over to Potsdamer Platz, to check out the architecture of the Sony Centre, once a bustling shopping complex, but now silent and empty.
The Rotes Rathaus is Berlin’s impressive town hall of located in the Mitte district on Rathausstraße near Alexanderplatz.
Then we need to fuel up with beer and ice cream under the shadow of the TV before heading off for more sightseeing.
We’re off to check out Nikolaiviertel which is an old quarter of of Berlin, founded around 1200. I didn’t see this the first time I visited Berlin, so something new!
The first Berlin houses, the first market and the first church were built here at the end of the 12th century. It still retains an olde worlde air that is distinctly different to the urbanity of the rest of Berlin.
The oldest church building in the city, with its green towers is St. Nicholas Church. Plus pastel coloured merchants houses and quaint little bars and cafes make this a compact and enchanting little place.
