  • Morning

    Unter den Linden begins at Pariser Platz in front of Brandenburger Tor . Stroll eastwards along the wide avenue, past Hotel Adlon Berlin. Then turn right into Wilhelmstraße , the former political nerve centre. On the right-hand side you will pass the new building of the British Embassy. In Behrenstraße you can assess progress in the construction of the Holocaust-Denkmal .

    Turn left into Französische Straße, which will take you to Friedrichstraße . Here you can shop at the Galeries Lafayette or in the Department Store 206 . After your shopping expedition, you may wish to recover over a snack lunch in the gourmet food department, which is situated in the basement of Galeries Lafayette.

    Afternoon

    Before you continue your exploration of Friedrichstraße, make a detour to Gendarmenmarkt with its Konzerthaus as well as Deutscher and Französischer Dom. From here return to Friedrichstraße and its modern buildings. Walk down the street to Leipziger Straße. Turn left into Leipziger Straße, and on the left you will see the giant structure of the former Ministry of Aviation. Today the Federal Ministry of Finance is based here. From here you can retrace your steps to Unter den Linden or return to Gendarmenmarkt. An evening meal at the Asian restaurant Langhans is highly recommended.
