From Ku'damm: Haute Couture and Currywurst tour.
5
Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church
You'll visit the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtiskirche or Kaiser Wilhelm Chuch. It was destroyed by Allied bombs in 1943 and rebuilt in the early 1960s. Its stained glass was designed by the French artist Gabriel Loire and it's among the most beautiful -- and soothing -- in the world.

Altes Museum
The Altes Museum – which was opened in 1830 – was one of the first purpose-built museums in Europe. It was created to house the royal collection of sculptures, paintings and antiques and was conceived to be pedagogic, exhibiting art both to educate and to aggrandise the nation.

11
Neues Museum
Its history of the museum is fascinating. Friedrich August Stüler’s neoclassical building was erected in 1847. During the Second World War, it was badly damaged. After the reunification, the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation – along with other government bodies – chose not to simply restore the museum to its pre-war state. Instead, they decided to preserve its strange chronology – to quote Chipperfield – by linking together original material, war-and weather-damaged sections as well as modern elements. The result is a museum that can be read like a history book. The fabric of the building tells the story of Berlin.

12
Bode-Museum
You pass by the museum and at the end of A Walk through Time on Museum Island tour you have the opportunity to visit the museum.

Pergamon Museum
You'll pass by and have the opportunity to visit the museum at the end of the A Walk through Time on Museum Island tour.
14
Reichstag Building
The Into the Heart of Berlin tour starts with a great view of the Reichstag from here. It's far from the oldest building in Berlin but it is one of the two or three structures that best evoke the city's torturous, and sometimes euphoric, history.
15
Brandenburg Gate
You'll pass by the Brandenburg Gate and hear what it was like when Communist East Germany finally collapsed in 1989.
From Into the Heart of Berlin tour.
16
The Holocaust Memorial - Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
Pass through the Jewish memorial and allow yourself to take in the 2,711 concrete stelae. Try to reflect on how architect Peter Eisenman positioned the outer slabs. They're low against the ground so that they seem to fan out into the whole city.
