Berlin at a Glance


In the past century alone, Berlin staged a revolution, was bombed to bits, torn in two then ultimately reunited. History aside, Berliners (understandably) love a good time. Ways to entertain yourself here are endless – from bars to techno temples, beer gardens, cocktail caverns, cabaret shows and symphonies! A hotbed of creativity, Berlin’s post-Wall abundance of spaces and its irrepressible, free-wheeling spirit give rise to a culture that thrives on experimentation and new ideas. High-brow, low-brow and everything in between – the full arc of expression is welcomed here.

Berlin in Two Days
Kick off day one at the Reichstag then stroll south to the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin’s most recognisable structure. Further south lies the famous Holocaust Memorial and Potsdamer Platz, the city’s heart. Checkpoint Charlie is a short distance away. You could spend the entire second day at the Museumsinsel taking in world-class repositories of the past such as the Pergamonmuseum, Neues Museum and the Bode-Museum.
Berlin in Four Days
Start day three at the GedenkstĂ€tte Berliner Mauer and the Mauerpark. Take a whirlwind tour of Schloss Charlottenburg before heading to the KurfĂŒrstendamm for a spot of shopping. Day four might begin at the Jewish Museum before heading to the East Side Gallery, the longest piece of the Wall to have survived.
