Most of the “must see” sights are congregated around the central Mitte. The east-west axis of Unter den Linden would be a good place to start your Berlin city break sightseeing. A frequent bus service runs the length of the tree-flanked boulevard, linking it with Bahnhof Zoo in the west. The western end is marked by the iconic Brandenburg Gate, once closed off between East and West Berlin . The revamped Reichstag crowned by Norman Foster’s magnificent glass cupola is definitely worth a visit during your Berlin city break, especially as trips to the top are free and the view of Berlin is outstanding. Head for the swanky Du’damm and you can turn your Berlin city break in to a shopping extravaganza. The KaDeWe department store is a tourist attraction in itself!
