Wuyou Palace
Sanssouci Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built by Frederick the Great as a summer residence modeled after the Palace of Versailles in Paris. Its Rococo-style architecture features the Bibliothek, the Konzertsaal, and the Marble Hall.
The gardens of Sanssouci Palace are truly unique, featuring terraced terraces planted with grapes and dotted with Baroque fountains and sculptures. At the end of the gardens, the New Palace (Neues Palais), also built by Frederick the Great, boasts a magnificent exterior. The Chinese Teahouse (Chinesisches Teehaus) is also worth a visit.
You need to print out the tickets when booking online. You can also buy tickets on site during the off-season, and the visiting time is more flexible than buying tickets online.
Berlin Cathedral
Berlin's largest church, once dedicated to the royal family, boasts Baroque and Renaissance architectural styles, and boasts an ornate interior dominated by white and gold hues, though only a few rooms are open to the public. The church has four floors and can accommodate approximately 500 people. The basement houses the royal mausoleum, where the renowned Iron Chancellor Bismarck is buried.
After the interior tour, be sure to go to the top of the church to have a panoramic view of the whole of Berlin.
Brandenburg Gate
Located in the heart of Berlin, the city boasts a history of over 200 years. Originally a gate in the Berlin Wall, it earned its name from its access to Brandenburg. Its architectural style is modeled after the gates of the Acropolis in Athens, and a bronze statue of the goddess of victory stands atop the gate, symbolizing victory in war.
During the period of the division of Germany, the Berlin Wall was built west of the Brandenburg Gate. Today, the gate and the surrounding Pariser Platz have become a place for people to celebrate National Day (October 3) and watch the New Year's fireworks.

The longest and most famous of the three existing sections of the Berlin Wall, the world's largest open-air graffiti gallery, and a historical testament to Berlin's division and unification.
