The sentence with "besichtigen" means that you went sightseeing in Berlin. "Besuchen" only refers to a visit, e.g. to meet up with a friend.

besichtigen = to 'survey/inspect' something. Has the noun "sicht" in it = "the sight". In the context of tourism, you use it to say that you visit a specific point of interest to take a closer look or a tour e.g.:
– Wir haben den Reichstag besichtigt.
– Wir haben das Naturkundemuseum besichtigt.
This is more specific than just "besuchen" (to visit), although "besuchen" would fit in this context as well.
