What to see in Berlin
Must-sees
Berlin is best understood through its recent history. The Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag with its glass dome and the Holocaust Memorial are a few minutes apart on foot, as is Checkpoint Charlie. The Wall still stands at the East Side Gallery and the Bernauer Straße memorial.
Museum Island brings together the Pergamon, the Neues Museum with the bust of Nefertiti and the cathedral. Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain and Prenzlauer Berg are the districts for eating, going out and street art.
Free tours and guided visits
Berlin has plenty of free walking tours: the classic city-centre walk, alternative Berlin, the Third Reich and the Cold War. The visit to Sachsenhausen concentration camp also leaves from the city.
How long to spend
Three days cover the centre, the museums and what remains of the Wall. With four or five there is time for Potsdam and the districts.
Where to stay
Mitte is the easiest base for a first visit. Charlottenburg and Prenzlauer Berg are quieter, and Kreuzberg has more nightlife.
