With an area of almost 500 acres, the Tiergarten is one of the largest inner-city parks in the world - and the district's namesake. The Berlin zoo is also located here.
The striking skyscrapers (r-l) Bahn Tower, Kollhoff Tower and Piano Tower at Potsdamer Platz form the gateway to the city center and are a sought-after photo motif for tourists.
The last remaining watchtower of the Berlin Wall is situated near Potsdamer Platzes. A private initiative is taking care of the preservation of the historic tower.
