Things to Do in Berlin
Plan your days in Berlin, your way
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.
