Hitler had a multi-story underground structure built that served as his final residence, along with many Nazi officials, and as his place of death. It was deliberately destroyed after WWII and now a parking lot occupies the site.
A vast plaza of irregular blocks, set at varying heights, inducing a maze-like sense of disorientation to abstractly convey the horrors of the Holocaust.
A 19th c. Neoclassical column, 67 m (219 ft) in height, that is one of the most recognizable monuments in Berlin. Note: We get a nice view of the column from near the Brandenburg Gate but DO NOT walk to the column as it is somewhat far and out of the direction of the itinerary.
Seat of the former legislature of the German Empire, Weimar Republic and later a symbol for the Nazi regime. In ruins for decades, it was reconstructed, combining classical and modern elements, and now is the seat of the federal Parliament.
Berlin's main river has a beautiful boardwalk passing some of the city's best new architecture. It is an experience no visitor should miss.
Historically, Friedrichstraße was both a symbol and literal dividing and crossing point for East and West Berliners. It was a place of transit, control and sometimes trauma. The Tränenpalast, known as the Palace of Tears, was a departure hall for West Berliners who made trips to visit friends and family in the East. They then had to say goodbye, on the other side, as they returned home.

Built in the 1960s and still the tallest structure in Germany at 368m (1207 ft) and 3rd tallest in the E.U. Note: We get a nice view not far away but do not walk up to the base of the tower as it is out of the way of our itinerary.
Prussian liberal arts University which is now an esteemed public university. Karl Marx, Engels, and Einstein taught here, along with 28 other Nobel Laureates.
The site of a major Nazi book burning in 1933, tens of thousands of works were lost. See the innovative memorial commemorating the loss. "Where they burn books, they will, in the end, burn people." — Heinrich Heine
