Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island. Theatre and opera. Shopping and feasting. From the Adina Checkpoint Charlie, you can conveniently discover Berlin and the capital’s most popular sights.

A journey through time into Berlin’s highly fascinating past only takes a few hours, one day – or even some weeks, depending on how much time you have. If you want to explore the sights and architecture, magnificent museums and one of the most famous historical attractions, the former Checkpoint Charlie border crossing, then you’ve come to exactly the right place at the Adina Apartment Hotel Berlin Checkpoint Charlie. The hotel, located in the Mitte district, is in a perfect location for visitors to the city.

Whether you prefer shopping or visits to the theatre, appreciate a selection of original and even sophisticated restaurants or simply enjoy mingling with nightclubbers, the lively Mitte district has plenty of diversity on offer. Only a few minutes on foot from the hotel, the underground stations Stadtmitte and Spittelmarkt provide quick connections to every corner of the city and to the city’s central station.

Culture collides with politics

From the Adina Checkpoint Charlie, it’s only a few steps to the famous  Gendarmenmarkt square. Flanked by the New Church, the French Cathedral and the Konzerthaus, many locals and visitors consider it to be the capital’s most beautiful square. It takes no time at all to reach the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag (Bundestag) or Potsdamer Platz from the hotel.

Art lovers and the culturally interested will be in paradise at the Berlin State Opera Unter den Linden, at the Jewish Museum and on Museum Island. With its five museums, this area at the River Spree is a UNESCO World Heritage site and said to be one of the most important museum complexes in the world. Anyone interested in a leisurely guide through the famous collections should allow ample time to visit the Altes and Neues Museum, the Pergamon Museum, the Alte Nationalgalerie and the Bode Museum. The Berlin Cathedral, the city’s largest church, can also be viewed on Museum Island.

Shop and feast in style

Within walking distance from the hotel, the Friedrichstraße high street has everything the heart desires for an extensive shopping expedition: exclusive fashion boutiques, brand shops, jewellers, galleries and cafés. With its many restaurants, cafés and bars, the area around Hackescher Markt, on the other side of the River Spree, is one of the absolute hotspots of the Berlin night life. And whoever would like to see the city from above can visit the viewing floor at the top of the Fernsehturm television tower at nearby Alexanderplatz and gaze over the city – perhaps while enjoying a drink in Berlin’s highest bar.
