BERLIN MARATHON COURSE

THE INFORMATION BELOW REFERS TO THE PREVIOUS EDITION
BMW BERLIN-MARATHON 2026
The Berlin Marathon takes place in Germany's wonderful capital. Berlin is a city with countless attractions, appealing to young travellers looking for fun as well as to culture lovers in search of an important page of history, with monuments and works of art magnificently preserved and displayed. In Berlin you can get an overview of the main tourist attractions and then explore in detail the squares, museums, churches, parks and everything else this marvellous city has to offer.
The Berlin Marathon winds through the city along its most beautiful and best-known streets, touching the most important monuments. But the symbol of Berlin and of its Marathon is the Brandenburg Gate: aligned on the axis that crosses Berlin from East to West, this monument successively symbolised the power of the Prussian empire, the division of Europe (the Berlin Wall ran at its feet) and reunification.
During the Marathon weekend we also recommend visiting:
- HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL
A few steps from the Brandenburg Gate, right in the city centre, stands the Memorial. A commemorative monument dedicated to the Jews of Europe who were victims of the Holocaust. 2711 rectangular concrete blocks are set on an undulating surface, creating a claustrophobic effect of great intensity and emotional impact. Walking through this immense open-air monument is a truly moving experience. The work of architect Peter Eisenman won the AIA (American Institute of Architects) award. To learn more about the history of that time, don't miss the exhibition at the Information Centre, located beneath the Monument.
- CHECKPOINT CHARLIE
An important symbol of the Cold War. This is where the Allies, diplomats and all those foreigners entitled to cross from one side of Berlin to the other passed through from 1961 to 1990. Today you will find a US Army guardhouse reconstructed in every detail and a sign reading “You are leaving the American sector”. If you approach the guards for a photo with them, be aware that they will ask you for a donation! Today this has also become the film set of major spy movies and thrillers. A few steps away, visit the Wall Museum – Haus am Checkpoint Charlie, open daily from 9 am to 10 pm.
- REICHSTAG
Seat of the German Federal Parliament since 1999, the Reichstag deserves your attention if only for its glass dome, reachable by lift, the work of English architect Lord Norman Foster. If you happen to be here on a beautiful sunny day, you can admire a wonderful 360° panorama over Berlin! A visit early in the morning, or late in the evening, is recommended to avoid the crowds of tourists.
- FERNSEHTURM
Here is another symbol of Berlin: the Television Tower. Standing 368 metres tall, you will notice it as soon as you set foot in the city. If you are lucky, on a beautiful sunny day it will be a pleasure (as long as you don't suffer from vertigo!) to take the lift to the top and admire the breathtaking panorama from above. Have a coffee in the panoramic bar and enjoy the show! Here too, arriving in the early hours of the morning is recommended to avoid the queue.
