Berlin, Germany’s capital, dates to the 13th century. Reminders of the city's turbulent 20th-century history include its Holocaust memorial and the Berlin Wall's graffitied remains. Divided during the Cold War, its 18th-century Brandenburg Gate has become a symbol of reunification. The city's also known for its art scene and modern landmarks like the gold-colored, swoop-roofed Berliner Philharmonie, built in 1963.
Home to Germany’s main Weimar-era film studio, leafy Babelsberg is now known for Filmpark Babelsberg, a movie-themed amusement park with recreations of famed German sets. The sprawling, rugged Babelsberg Park includes a turreted neo-Gothic castle, a mill, and several architectural follies. Residential Weberviertel is a historic district full of quaint, single-story, 18th-century weavers’ homes with painted shutters.
