This street is the liveliest street in Berlin. Not tired yet? Than you can go out in Berlin's vibrant nightlife.

Day 2: The monuments and history of Berlin.
After a short nights sleep, you can dive into Berlin again. Near the Brandenburg Gate is Reichstag, the German Parliament Building. This is not to be missed!

By bus you can easily reach the center of the former West Berlin.
The bus goes through several interesting sites so you can stop now and then, including at the Tiergarten park. The western part is more a place for shopaholics. Amongst the many shopping malls there are some places more than worthwhile, such as the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedähtniskirche. This place clearly shows the traces of the Second World War. Back in the eastern part, you can visit the Potsdamer Platz and have something to eat and drink in the Friedrichshain district.
