Tiergarten Park is Berlin's most beautiful park and one of
world's largest urban parks. Tourists to Berlin can enjoy Tiergarten's many lovely walking
paths, forested areas, lakes and meadows.
The Strasse des 17 Juni
boulevard bisects Tiergarten Park. This famous street was renamed
several times in history. During World War II, Hitler called it the East-West
Axis and used it as a triumphal avenue which he lined with Nazi flags. The boulevard's
current name commemorates the uprising that occurred in communist East
Berlin on June 17th, 1953.
