Look to your left, and you'll see the impressive Humboldt Forum, where history meets the present. Imagine, there once stood a grand equestrian statue of the Great Elector by Andreas Schlüter here, a symbol of power and transformation. Behind you, explore the oldest streets of Berlin in the Nikolaiviertel. Walking through these alleys feels like stepping back in time.
