City: Wannsee
Top Things to do in Wannsee
The 10 Best Things to do in Wannsee, Germany
Berlin is an edgy city, from its fashion to its architecture to its charged political history. The Berlin Wall is a sobering reminder of the hyper-charged postwar atmosphere, and yet the graffiti art that now covers its remnants has become symbolic of social progress. Check out the Weltzeituhr (world time) Clock, topped by a model of the solar system, then turn back time by dining at the historic Zur Letzten Instanz, a 16th century restaurant that was frequented by Napoleon and Beethoven.

If you looking for a place away from the busy city, then peacock island is perfect. You can find a small castle with peacocks roaming around. (castle will be renovated until 2024 and is closed until then.)

The site where Nazi meetings took place is now a haunting memorial to their victims.

My son and I took the train from the city centre to Wannsee and had a very enjoyable journey. The buses and trams were on strike but the walk from the train station to the house is about 30mins and quite enjoyable. The houses and area here are quite attractive and quiet. The conference house is a very lovely house with well tended gardens. The information in the house is extensive and shows the history of antisemitism in Europe from the early ages through the Nazi regime. Most of the history covers the Nazi Regime but there is a lot of good information from the post-WW1 era. The documents from the actual conference are eye-opening and being in the room it all took place is quite thought provoking. It may be a bit away from the city centre but really worth the effort!

If the weather is sunny, and you fancy a few hours outside the city, then a visit to Wannsee and the Liebermann villa is to be highly recommended. Max Liebermann was one of Germany's foremost painters in the early part of the twentieth century. The villa and its garden was built for him, completed 1910. Take the S7 to Wannsee station, and then either 20 minutes walk, or 2 stops on the bus, brings you to the property. 10 euros entrance (September 2020). There are a dozen or so of his paintings on display. There are also displays (in english and german) on the (jewish) family, the house, and the garden. The garden, which has been restored to how it was when the Liebermann family lived there, runs down to the lake. It is a joy. Coffee on the terrace is wonderful. The villa is one of many fine houses on the banks of the Wannsee lake and surrounding waterways. Lakes cruises of 1.5 hours duration are well worth doing. Boats leave from the jetty some 5 minutes walk from the S bahn; on the way to the Liebermann villa.

A wonderful place to see what Berliners do in their free time! The lake is closely tied into the city's fantastic public transport system, including a fantastic ferry service every hour. If you want to exercise, people watch, eat or drink, this is the place to be.
