That depends on what your interests are. You will get more insightful responses if you are a bit more specific.
For me they were the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate, the Gemaldegalerie (old masters), the Pergamon Museum and the Altes Museum (bust of Nefertiti).

I'll have 3 days in Berlin in mid-Oct. It will be my first visit. Architecture, history, landscape and culinary are my interests.
Where is the city centre to be centrally located with access to most of everything?

History.. probably more than you can handle.. but Berlin is in fact a pretty "young city".. not much going on there before 1800 or so... Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Jewish Museum, Allied Forces Museum in Dahlem, Potsdam (Sanssouci palace, no worries, a small palace, more like a manor plus the park)
Architecture.. the old/imperial one: Unter den Linden avenue is a prime example, Bauhaus museum, the fascist period (Tempelhof airport, for example), the socialist/stalinist period (Karl-Marx-Allee from Alexanderplatz to Strausberger Platz)
Landscape.. that's a tough one. Berlin is flat as a pancake. If you need a break from the city, go to Potsdam, visit the park and Sanssouci palace, or take a cruise on the Spree river.
Culinary.. i'm really not good at this one..
