The reconstruction of the city palace is highly controversial in Berlin. I myself am appalled by such retro architecture. The argument that the Palace of the Republic should have been demolished because of asbestos pollution turns out to be highly questionable if at the same time it is possible to obtain the asbestos-contaminated ICC. Why did not Egons Lampenladen make a museum about German history? After all, there was not only an event hall, but also the DDR Volkskammer resided in the building. A place where not only a fake parliament met for years, but also made the historic decision to reunite, and thus symbolized the transition to democracy.
The fact that the cost of the fake castle is now exploding, a building whose actual use is only rudimentary ideas, is added.
In my opinion this is the winning mentality, and I say that as a citizen who grew up in the West.
For me, such, artificial replicas, as they are also found in Frankfurt, or Heidelberg, better fit into Disneyland.

Walking from checkpoint Charlie to the Brandenburg gate, you can pass by where hitlers bunker was, as well as a holocaust memorial. While theres nothing to see of the former bunker, the memorial is a very emotional place.
Its really admirable how theyre handling their history. As you walk through the history, you can still see thousands of bullet holes and damage from shrapnel on the buildings, museums, etc. the Germans are embracing that part of their history, not because they like it, but to honor the fallen, respect those killed, and to make efforts to be sure their country never takes a turn like they did again.
Its a beautiful country and city.

Took your advice and did pretty much what you suggested, and more. What a great city. I love it! I think I enjoyed going to Sansoucci the most. It was awesome to stand in places where the likes of Voltaire and Bach once stood when they were guests of King Frederick. The huge garden is worth seeing as well and free to go in. One place you missed out that I would suggest to your viewers is the Stasi Museum, which is set in the old secret police HQ. It shows the extraordinary lengths the East German dictatorship took to spy on its own people.

I remember your tip about the walk from Alexanderplatz (which is where my hotel was) to the Brandenburg Gate. I DID THE WALK! FANTASTIC! More beautiful than I imagined but as fascinating as you described! Thank you! I lived in West Berlin during the Cold War. I returned for the first time in over thirty years this past April. So good to be back! So good in fact, I'm looking to move there early next year! Thanks for all the tips!

You should do a tour of all the stolen buildings belonging to Jews that the Germans stole for the 3rd time after Reunification in 1992 legally with the help of Sabine Leutheusser Schnarenberger Minister of Justice and Theo Waigel Minister of Finance. ; after all it was the children of the Nazis who wrote the property laws protecting the German Aryans. My mother's building is in Prenzlauer Berg.

Another dramatic American! Yanks need to calm down on the drama! Such assholes! People come see Europe for yourself without listening or following such dramaqueens! They're so excited that they don't tell you the real picture! Europe especially Germany is the greatest place on earth particularly Berlin!

At our last two visits my brother and I visited the AG Tiergarten (court which banned many movies) and the old Metropol (now Goya, building where Lamberto Bava's horror film Demoni was shot.
But we are movie buffs and have been to Berlin a lot of times in the last years.
