From the Brandenburg Gate down the linden avenue, past the stelae, the burned library, and Kollwitz's Pietà.
Checkpoint Charlie: the divided city's scar
The Cold War crossing, the longest stretch of inner-city Wall, and the ground where the Gestapo ran the Reich.
The Regierungsviertel: the river of government
Foster's glass dome, the federal buildings straddling the Spree, and the Brandenburg Gate to close.

Five great museums on a river island, a cathedral, a rebuilt palace, and the tower that ends every Berlin walk.
