On our forays through the city, we also pass the sights that many people travel to Berlin for. Often people leave these very places in their hometown unnoticed – not us! We are on the trail of Berlin sights in the city and present them here one by one.
Discover Berlin sights
Viewpoints are simply the highlight of every city discovery for me. So a visit to the Panorama Point at Potsdamer Platz was just the thing for me.
Berlin has many places that inspire me. One of the most beautiful squares in the city is probably the Gendarmenmarkt. The buildings on the square are really impressive and I keep discovering details that I haven't seen before.
For us Spandau residents, it is simply part of the cityscape, the Spandau Citadel. For Berlin visitors, the Renaissance fortress is one of the sights in the district of Spandau that should not be missed.
In the district of Charlottenburg stands one of the most beautiful palaces in Berlin. We took a little walk around the palace and enjoyed the beautiful weather in the palace park.

The Glienicke Bridge is one of the less spectacular bridges that connect Berlin and Potsdam. It stretches across the river Havel and wouldn’t be worth a specific mention if it wasn’t the place of the spy swaps during the Cold War.
The victory column (“Siegessäule”) in Berlin is located on the main square in the district Tiergarten, the “Großer Stern” – the great star square. It was built according to a design by Heinrich Strack and is now under monumental protection.
The Olympic Stadium in Berlin is definitely worth a visit. On non-working days you can explore this historical place either alone or on a guided tour.
