Berlin Wall memorial is a truly magnificent monument, definitely something worth visiting. Not too far from the monument, there is the museum island - even if you don't have much time to go to the museums, this is a lovely place for an hour stroll. Heading towards Potsdamer Platz, we passed by Checkpoint Charlie, a checkpoint with lots of history, so worth a quick visit. From the beautiful Potsdamer Platz, just a few minutes away, you can visit the impressive Brandenburg Gate.
