Berlin
Your getaway to Berlin
Berlin gives you the perfect sampler without asking you to choose. Morning at the Brandenburg Gate and a walk through the Tiergarten to a lakeside coffee. The East Side Gallery covers the famous Wall in one easy riverside stroll. Lunch at a Kreuzberg market hall — a little currywurst, a little something you've never tried. An afternoon wandering Prenzlauer Berg's leafy streets, boutiques, and beer gardens at whatever pace feels right. One museum, chosen well: the bust of Nefertiti takes ten minutes and stays with you for years. Ride the U-Bahn two stops too far just to see a neighborhood you hadn't planned on. Sunset from a bridge over the Spree, then dinner where the menu is short and the wine is local. A little history, a little food, a little getting lost. Berlin's whole personality in one gentle trip.
