(Multi)Berlin Rickshaws Christmas Markets &Historical Highlights

Germany's tallest structure, the iconic TV Tower (Fernsehturm), soars 368 meters (1,207 feet) above Alexanderplatz in Berlin. Completed in 1969 by the German Democratic Republic, it was designed to showcase the power of socialism and has since become a symbol of the city.

Its cylindrical design features a glass observation deck and a rotating restaurant sphere, offering diners panoramic views of Berlin, with visibility extending over 40 kilometres. Visitors flock to Alexandria Square, which has transformed from a historic marketplace into a vibrant hub filled with shops and cultural attractions, buzzing with life and entertainment.

Beyond tourism, the Fernsehturm serves a vital purpose as a telecommunications hub, broadcasting TV and radio signals. Visitors are reminded of Berlin's complex history and dynamic present near this towering structure. The TV Tower is not just a landmark; it embodies the city's resilience and innovation, captivating everyone who visits.

The City hall Berlin

One of the most important museum complexes in the world. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Museum Island. We see Berlin's beautiful historic boulevard of Unter den Linden. You can capture the Berlin Cathedral, the unfinished reconstruction of the City Palace, the Old Museum, the Old National Gallery, the Pergamon Museum, and the Bode Museum.

The Nazi Book Burning Square is a poignant site of reflection, marking the tragic event of book burnings that took place in 1933. This sombre memorial is dedicated to the thousands of works that were targeted, with approximately 25,000 books destroyed as part of a broader effort to suppress dissenting ideas and promote Nazi ideology. Burning books symbolize the loss of literature, censorship's broader consequences, and intellectual freedom's erosion. Visitors to the square can engage with the stark architecture and the empty shelves, evoking a sense of absence and loss. This memorial is a powerful reminder of the importance of safeguarding freedom of expression and literature's vital role in preserving cultural heritage. It encourages reflection on our responsibilities to prevent history from repeating itself, urging us to champion the diversity of thought and protect the freedom to read and express ideas without fear.

At 'Gendarmenmarkt' you find the former Royal Concert Hall flanked by the German Dôm on its south side and by the French Dôm on its north side. Up to the present day, the square is seen as one of the most beautiful squares in Europe!

The Berlin Cathedral, or Berliner Dom, is an iconic symbol of the city located on Museum Island. Its striking baroque design features a magnificent dome rising 98 meters high, making it one of Berlin's most notable landmarks. Finished in 1905, the cathedral showcases elaborate sculptures and a richly decorated interior, including beautiful mosaics and stunning altars.

Visitors can climb 270 steps to the dome's observation platform for breathtaking panoramic city views. The cathedral houses one of the largest German organs, often used for concerts and religious services. After sustaining damage during World War II, the cathedral underwent extensive restoration and now stands as a testament to resilience.

Beyond its religious significance, the Berliner Dom hosts various cultural events and exhibitions, contributing to a vibrant arts scene. Surrounded by parks and museums, it invites exploration and appreciation, making the Berlin Cathedral an essential stop for anyone visiting it.

While cycling along the former border strip, you will see original parts of the Berlin Wall and the site of the "Topography of Terror", one of the most frequently visited documentation centres on the period of National Socialism, the former site of the Headquarters of the SS and Gestapo.

The square of Potsdamer Place has been Europe's largest construction site ever since. It appears as an ensemble of skyscrapers and futuristic buildings, including the Sony Center.

Following the border strip, we reach the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, also known as the Holocaust Memorial, which opened in 2005, commemorating the murder of more than 6 million Jews during National Socialism.
