There might be fewer 'must-sees' in the western half of Berlin than further east, but they are winners: a glorious park which began life as a 16th century royal hunting ground and is today the green heart of everyone's Berlin; and a fascinating church, rebuilt after the devastation of World War II, combining the remains with a beautiful new church, forming both a memorial of reconciliation and a modern place of worship. \xa0Oh, and the city's very classiest department store. \xa0We guide you round the area and fill in the history and culture which will enhance your visit.\nUseful links \xa0\nhttps://www.visitberlin.de/en/tiergarten \xa0https://www.berlin.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten/3560160-3558930-siegessaeule.html (Victory Column)https://www.visitberlin.de/en/kaiser-wilhelm-memorial-church\xa0https://www.zoo-berlin.de/en\xa0\nhttps://www.visitberlin.de/en/berlin-tourist-info-centres\xa0https://www.germany.travel/en/home.html\n\xa0\nCity Breaks: all the history and culture you'd research for yourself if you had the time!Check our website to find more episodes from our Berlin series or to browse our back catalogue of other cities which are well worth visiting: https://www.citybreakspodcast.co.uk\nWe love to receive your comments and suggestions!\xa0You can e mail us at citybreaks@citybreakspodcast.co.ukAnd if you like what you hear, please do post comments or a review wherever you downloaded this episode. \xa0That would be very much appreciated!
