Like the following tourist attractions that are perfect for those of you who want to vacation in Europe on a mediocre budget.
1. Brandenburger Tor
The Brandenburg Gate has been a symbol of Berlin for centuries and even a German landmark. The gate with tall pillars and a horse-drawn carriage statue on it bears witness to German history from time to time. From the days of the Prussian kingdom, World War II, until Berlin and Germany were divided in two. Not just a symbol, but the Brandenburger Tor has a long historical value for German citizens. This gate is free for anyone to visit. So don't miss it when on vacation in Berlin. Not to Berlin, if you haven't visited the Brandenburger Tor.
2. The Holocaust Memorial
This memorial, located in the heart of Berlin, is dedicated to Jews who were victims of the Nazis. This place is worth visiting. The memorials are displayed in the form of stone blocks in the form of blocks, arranged vertically with the height of one stone and the other being different. When viewed from above, the stone arrangement is like a rolling wave. The narrow road between the rocks was deliberately made bumpy. This is intended so that visitors can feel what the victims felt at that time. Times when they feel unfounded, instability, and disoriented.
3. Checkpoint Charlie
Want to experience entering East Germany and West Germany? Come to Checkpoint Charlie. It was the border between the East and the West, complete with checkpoints built by the Americans. Journalists, diplomats and politicians are examined here when they are about to cross into the eastern world. Across from Checkpoint Charlie stands Café Adler, where the usual spy meets his partner.
4. Der Reichstag
Who would have thought that the German government building could become a popular tourist attraction? Der Reichstag was built in 1884 during the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm I. Although the Emperor of Prussia previously disliked the design of the parliamentary building, now thousands of Berlin tourists are reluctant to miss a visit to Der Reichstag in their itinerary. Generally, tourists are interested in visiting the glass dome on the roof of the building. From there, a beautiful view of Berlin is presented. Until now, this historic building is still used as a Parliamentary Building.
5. East Side Gallery
East side Gallery is the largest outdoor art gallery today. Apart from the historical remnants of the Berlin wall, visitors can also enjoy the artworks depicted on the 1.3 km long historical wall. It is estimated that there are 100 mural paintings painted by 118 artists from 21 countries. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, these artists flocked to Berlin to express freedom through painting. Generally, the murals they create convey messages of peace and hope for a better world.
