Widely called Berlin's most beautiful square, a perfect study in symmetry where Schinkel's grand Konzerthaus is flanked by two near-identical domed towers, the German and French Cathedrals. Their twin silhouettes rising above the open paving make this one of the great architectural set pieces in Europe.

7Museum Island
A UNESCO World Heritage ensemble of five grand museums set on an island in the Spree, gathered around the green Lustgarten. Built over a century as Prussia's self-styled sanctuary for art and science, it holds treasures from the Pergamon Altar to the bust of Nefertiti.

9Humboldt Forum
A reconstructed Baroque royal palace housing a museum of world cultures, standing where the Hohenzollern residence once ruled and the GDR later raised its Palace of the Republic. No single building tells Berlin's destroy-and-rebuild story more clearly than this one.

10Nikolaiviertel
A maze of cobbled lanes and gabled houses clustered around the twin-spired Nikolaikirche, Berlin's oldest church. This is the medieval cradle from which the whole city grew, flattened in the war and lovingly recreated for Berlin's 750th birthday.
