The historical city centre with tourist attractions
Berlin Panorama
Brandenburg Gate
Berlin grew out of the
historical city centre , the
Nikolai quarter and its adjacent town of
Cölln , both situated along the
River Spree . It expanded its territories with areas such as
Dorotheenstadt and
Friedrichstadt . The creation of
Greater Berlin in 1920 incorporated many former independent towns and municipalities such as
Spandau ,
Charlottenburg and
Köpenick .
Today, the urban environment of the metropolis also spreads to parts of
Brandenburg and
Potsdam . The decentralised development has resulted in a plethora of sights in Berlin – not just in the centre of the city, but also in the outlying boroughs. For various reasons among the world's most recognized symbols of Berlin are the
Brandenburg Gate and its tallest landmark, the
Berlin TV tower in
Mitte .
