The TV tower in Berlin is the highest in the city and can barely go unnoticed. Who wouldn’t enjoy watching the view of the sun setting as if it were parallelly beside you?

The Holocaust Memorial is but a stone’s throw away from the hiding place which is a regular parking area now. Amongst the many places to visit in Berlin, this one tops my list. I also suggest that you get in touch with your history teacher and make a call to her/him when you’re there. It’ll make yours and their day!

Starting from visiting the ever famous Museum Island (which by the way, should top your list of things to do in Berlin), to seeing the sculptures in Pergamon Museum, the Egyptian Art in Neues Museum and Altes Museum, the detailed artwork carries a great significance which will leave you in awe.
