The neoclassical city gate, built in the 18th century, became a symbol of Germany's division during the Cold War and has stood since the fall of the Wall in 1989 as the country's most important national symbol of unity and freedom.

Architect Norman Foster's glass dome crowns the historic parliament building and, with free advance registration, gives visitors a spectacular view over central Berlin as well as a direct look into the Bundestag's plenary chamber.

The East Side Gallery preserves over a kilometer of surviving Wall segments covered in colorful street art by international artists, while the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Strasse vividly conveys the division's history with original sections and a documentation center.

The UNESCO-protected Museum Island in the middle of the Spree unites five world-class museums, including the Pergamon Museum with its monumental ancient structures, forming one of the densest clusters of culture in the world.
