In Berlin, you can visit important buildings from Germany's turbulent history in museums and at original sites. The German capital was the center of many historical events, such as the division of the country and the construction of the Berlin Wall. You can find out about these events at the East Side Gallery. Here you can see the world-famous remains of the Wall, which were painted by artists. You can also experience the history of the city while sightseeing at Checkpoint Charlie or at the Berlin Wall Memorial. If you are interested in the founding of the city, it is worth taking a trip to the Nikolai Quarter near Berlin's Alexanderplatz. The Nikolai Church, the oldest surviving building in the city, is located here.
