The kitchen in Berlin is simple and hearty. Throughout history, the dishes have been influenced by Prussian cuisine and by immigrants from Bohemia, Silesia, Pomerania, East Prussia and Mecklenburg. Also influences of the Huguenots from France are to be found in some courts. Typical ingredients are goose and pork, but also fish from local waters, such as eel, pike and carp. Potatoes, cabbage, turnips, cucumbers and pulses are often served as a side dish.

Top 5 travel tips
The foundation stone of St. Hedwig's Cathedral was laid in July 1747, but the building has been rebuilt and extended several times over the last centuries. Today you can admire some interesting art treasures inside the church, such as the three tapestries with biblical motifs. Also absolutely worth seeing are the eight small chapels in the lower church, whose window pictures were created by Karl Clobes.
2. Take a look at the Crown Prince's palaceAt the beginning of the street "Unter den Linden" you will find the Kronprinzenpalais, built in late classicist style. For many years it served the Prussian ruling house as a city domicile. Due to the complete destruction of the building during the Second World War, however, the building is still a very impressive replica in which exhibitions are presented and cultural events held today.
3. Discover the landmark and the history of the cityVisit the Brandenburg Gate on Pariser Platz, which was built in the 18th century on behalf of King Frederick William II. In former times it served as a triumphal gate to the imperial capital, later as a symbol for the division of Berlin and the nation after the Second World War. The gate is 65.5 metres wide and 26 metres high. The architectural style is early classicist. The Quadriga with the goddess of victory Gottfried Schadows is enthroned at the very top.
4. Commemoration of the Berlin WallIn the visitor centre of the Berlin Wall Memorial in the district of Gesundbrunnen, you will learn everything about the former life with the Wall by means of numerous photographs, exhibits and short films. The exhibition area also includes a separate section dealing with the subject of "Border and Ghost Stations in Divided Berlin". An absolute must for those interested in history!
5. Visit numerous art exhibitions on the islandThe Museum Island in Berlin Mitte houses a number of important exhibition buildings, such as the Alte Nationalgalerie and the Bodemuseum. Another highlight is the Pergamon Museum, but you have to plan longer waiting times in front of it. Don't forget to visit the Old Museum, the New Museum and the Berlin Cathedral on the island.
