Don't forget the Brandenburg Gate, and what's left of the wall. IIRC there's an aircraft museum not far from Berlin too, let me look.

Yes, there's the Luftwaffe museum at Gatow:

http://www.aviationmuseum.eu/World/E...Bundeswehr.htm

Looks like quite a nice collection there of aircraft from both sides of the curtain.

A bit more sinister is the Stasi Museum:

Or The Memorial

The Glienicke Bridge

DDR Museum:

Obviously, I defer to those with more local knowledge as to whether these museums are worth the visit, but certainly there is a lot of history in Berlin itself and the surrounding environs...that which survived it that is.
