Picture choosen by: Mr.Tino Sights in Berlin---Part I 1.Alter Jüdischer Friedhof
Address: Hackescher Markt, Mitte - Scheunenviertel
Transport: train Hackescher Markt

What looks like a small park was in fact Berlin's first Jewish cemetery, destroyed by the Nazis in 1943. Some 12,000 people were buried here between 1672 and 1827, including the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn, although his tombstone is just a copy.

2.Bauhaus Archiv/Museum fur Gestaltung
Address: Klingelhöferstrasse 14, Tiergarten
Transport: train Nollendorfplatz bus: 100, 129, 187, 341 Lutzowplatz

The Bauhaus Archive/Museum of Design is devoted to the members of the Bauhaus School, who laid the basis for much of contemporary design and architecture. Founded in Weimar by Berlin architect Walter Gropius, it aimed to unite art with everyday functionality, from doorknobs and radiators to the layout of entire districts and apartment blocks.

3.Berliner Rathaus
Address: Rathausstrasse 15, Alexanderplatz Area
Transport: train Alexanderplatz

The hulking 1860 town hall is where Berlin's governing mayor (currently Klaus Wowereit) and his senators make their offices. It sits smack dab in the city's geographical centre and is nicknamed 'Rotes Rathaus' (Red Town Hall) in reference to the colour of its bricks - not (necessarily) the political leanings of its occupants.

4.Berliner Zoo & Aquarium
Address: Hardenberg Platz 8, Tiergarten
Transport: train: Zoologischer Garten

The Zoologischer Garten is Germany's oldest zoo. It is located in the southwest corner of the Tiergarten, Berlin's green lung, which began life as a hunting ground for the Great Elector, Friedrich Wilhelm (who ruled from 1640-88) and was turned into a park in the 18th century. Around 14,000 animals representing 1500 species roam the grounds.

5.Brandenburg Gate
Address: Pariser Platz, Mitte, 10117
Transport: train: Unter den Linden bus: 100, 200

A symbol of division during the Cold War, this landmark now epitomises German reunification. The 1791 structure by Carl Gotthard Langhans is the only surviving one of 18 city gates and is crowned by the Quadriga sculpture, a horse-drawn chariot piloted by the winged goddess of victory.

6.Contemporary Fine Arts
Transport: underground rail: Weinmeisterstrasse

There's usually an exciting exhibit going on at this progressive gallery which specialises in young artists, both emerging and already established. Its roster of artists includes Cecily Brown and Berlin-based phenoms Jonathan Meese and Daniel Richter.

7.Ddr Museum
Address: Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse 1, Alexanderplatz Area
Transport: bus: 100, 200, TXL

In East Germany, kids were put through collective potty training, engineers earned little more than farmers and everyone, it seems, went on nudist holidays. Such are the fascinating nuggets you'll learn at this small, interactive museum dedicated to teaching the rest of us about daily life across the Iron Curtain. A must for Goodbye, Lenin fans.
