One-day sightseeing in Berlin

This is a time to describe my recent trip to one of European capitals.
As You can guess, the opportuniyu hunters do not sleep so we decided to visit Berlin to sightseeing the main attractions in about 9 hours, spending the least amount of money we can.

Of course we chose to travel by the red bus with the busline You probably know quite well.
The return ticket for one person costs 40 PLN. The journey from Poznan to Berlin would take 4 hours but we arrived after 3 hours and a quarter.

Berlin is one of the biggest capital of Europe but having a city map, we could plan our trip carefully. The bus station is situated on the suburbs but the underground and public transport in general can take you to the extremely remote places. One-day ticket for all means of transport costs 6,70 Euro which turns out to be expensive, underlining the fact there are reductions only for children below 14 year-old. Students can receive a reduction if they have an EURO26 Card.

We started our trip from sightseeing the Olympiastadio that was built to host athletes during the Olympic Games in 1916 which finally did not take place. Berlin organised the Olympiad in 1936. Now on the Olympiastadio plays one of the football team from Bundesliga, Hertha Berlin.
The stadium made a great impression on us because of its size.

Despite of not having slept so much time the previous night, we decided to visit as many places as we could. Taking the underground, we reached the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche. The church is situated near the district Charlottenburg and it is considered to be very characteristic point of Berlin due to its Neoromanesque architecture.  

In the same quarter we could admire the building of Bahnhof Zoo. In the past the regional Railway Station was the main communication point of the East Berlin and in the same time the place always occupated by young drug addicts. One of them Christiane F. described a story of her live spent on the Bahnhof Zoo published in a book called <<Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo>> which turned out to be a great success.

There is one place which cannot be missed during sightseeing the city of Berlin. It is obviously Brandenburger Tor which is a timeless symbol of the capital. In which consists the importance of the Brandenburg Gate? This monument was built to commemorate the person of Frederick the Great and also the power of Kingdom of Prussia. After the demolition of the Berlin Wall, the Brandenburger Tor symbolises the unity of German people.

  

There are many more monuments which represents the real power and history of Berlin for example Reichstag or Bundestag, Berliner Dum or the Berliner Fernsehturm. However, it was not my intention to present them all. I was about to encourage You to visit this great city inhabited by the diversified society, really polite and multilingual people.

The last photo presents the piece of the Berlin Wall but not a part very colorful and admired by many tourists.
