No Berlin building project has been so much in the lime light as Potsdamer Platz, And it has really worked, this courageous plan to build a city centre from nothing. Berlin now has a new centre.

Berlin’s famous landmark is more than 200 years old.

United together on the museums island are ‘Altes Museum’ the Old National Gallery, the Pergamon Museum, the Bode Museum and the ‘New Museum’.

Berlin originally grew up around the city’s oldest church. Situated on an island in the river Spree the Nikolai Quarter is rather like an open air museum. It is one of Berlin’s best loved tourist spots with its many lanes, restaurants, pubs and shops.

A place like Berlin…a brittle charm with a yearning for world city proportions, marked by the flow of the past. If you want to experience big city life…. then you should visit Alexander Platz. Three underground train lines cross here, as well as trams and town trains. Half a million people ‘change’ at ‘Alex’ every day.
