Berlin Architecture Guide via Sightseeing Bus

Berlin is an architectural patch quilt. The bus ride is a timeline.

1. Neoclassical & Baroque

• Charlottenburg Palace: The grandest palace in Berlin.
• Berlin Cathedral: High Renaissance / Baroque revival.

2. 1920s Modernism & Bauhaus

Keep an eye out for the shell of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and the surrounding 50s/60s buildings.

3. Socialist Classicism & Brutalism

Driving through East Berlin (Karl-Marx-Allee), you see the magnificent "Wedding Cake" style buildings of the Stalin era. Also, the TV Tower – a masterpiece of space-age engineering.

4. Contemporary

Potsdamer Platz is a showcase of Renzo Piano and Helmut Jahn. Glass, steel, and defying gravity.
