If you have more time in Berlin you can visit also:
Il Judisches Museum Berlin (Jewish Museum)
Berlin’s Jewish Museum is unique for its architectural structure, which, over and above being a container for the museum collection, is a symbol for Jewish history itself.
For this reason the museum was inaugurated even before the collections were in place.
Inside the museum, on the top floor, there are collections that bear witness to the history of the Jews in Germany. Access to the exhibition area is along three pathways symbolizing Hope and the Diaspora.
The museum building has no direct link with the outside; to get to it you have to pass through the adjacent building, the old History of Berlin Museum, that currently only acts as an antechamber to the Jewish Museum.

Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche
Very little remains of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche, which translates as the "Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church" (also called the Gedächtniskirche "Memorial Church"). The building was bombed and almost totally destroyed during the Second World War. Rather than flattening the remains, the city preferred to leave the old church and build a new one next to it as testimony to the horrors of the war and the rebirth of the city.
The result is a fascinating mix of styles - the union between old and modern, stone and metal. Inside the old part of the church a kind of museum, called the Gedenkhalle (literally: Memorial), has been set up. There is a collection of documents and witness reports about the church, including photos taken before and after the bombing, and above all important symbolic objects such as the Stalingrad Madonna, a charcoal image by a German soldier drawn during the siege of the city.

Checkpoint Charlie (The Wall)
Checkpoint Charlie (The Wall) was a gateway between East and West Berlin. Here today there is a part of the Wall that for decades divided the city and that was destroyed in November 1989.
Nowadays the small stretch of Wall is a monument to a past that should not be forgotten, a past that was played out around Checkpoint Charlie.
Olympic Stadium
More than just the site of the 2006 World Cup final, the Olympic Stadium is first and foremost one of Berlin’s monuments. Built by Hitler for the 1936 Olympics, the stadium has undergone modernisation and restructuring that have also served to conserve the structure.
The Stadium is at the centre of the Olympic District which is to the west of the Mitte.
It is open to visitors and there is also an organized tour.
