The Museum of European Cultures – National Museums in Berlin – Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation came from the unification of the Europe-Department in the Berlin Museum of Ethnography and the Berlin Museum for Folklore in 1999. The museum focuses on the lived-in world of Europe and European culture contact, predominantly in Germany from the 18th Century until today.

Botanischer Garten und Botanisches Museum Berlin-Dahlem
These beautiful gardens, which include 6,000 square metres of greenhouse space and over 20,000 plants spread over 42 hectares, are part of the Free University of Berlin. The museum is closed till 2027 for a complete redesign and renovation.
Turmrestaurant Steglitz
The Bierpinsel ("beer brush") is a building in Steglitz which resembles an observation tower and is famous for its pop-art appearance. The futuristic building was built from 1972 to 1976 and has since been used as restaurant, night club, bar, radio station and art café. Once threatened with demolition as a white elephant, this unique structure was instead landmarked and is well worth looking at.
Grunewald Hunting Lodge
Built in 1542. An impressive traditional country estate with stately architecture, it is an enclave of untouched regional cultural history and architectonic epochs. The 80-hectare mixed forest also provides a wide network of paths for walking and rambling.
Heritage listed Art Nouveau railway station and charming surrounding city square.
