Are you planning a trip to Berlin? Well, after living in this vibrant city for a while, I would say that I’m able to recommend you the must-see spots in the city. I would like to start by giving you general information so you can be ready for your trip to Berlin. Let’s start with the language. In Berlin, you don’t need to speak German because most people speak English. However, if you are planning to move or live in this city, learning the language is a must.
Transport
This city is huge and there are a lot of interesting sights. Fortunately, it’s easy to move around in the German capital. Also, many people recommend renting a bike for a day (approx. 12 EUR)
- Buy a 24 hours day pass for 7 Euros (includes Trains, Trams, and buses)
- Take a free walking or biking tour
What to eat
One of the things that I love about Berlin is that you can find any food from all around the world. You can find cheap bites and more fancy stuff. If you are vegetarian, there are also lots of options. If you love Asian food like Thai or Vietnamese, this is your place.
DAY 1
1. Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburg Tor)
2. The Holocaust Memorial
3. Potsdamer Platz and Sony Center
4. Memorial Wall (Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer)
DAY 2
1. Museum Island (Museuminsel)
This is one of my favorite places in Berlin. Here you will find many museums, restaurants, boat tours, street markets and more. Make sure to include Museum Island in your itinerary 🙂
2. Pergamon Museum
3 Berlin Cathedral
4. CheckPoint Charlie
5. Alexander Platz and TV Tower (Fernsehturm)
DAY 3
1. East Side Gallery
2. Visit Cafes or Restaurants in Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg
3. Mauerpark on Sundays (Sonntagskaraoke)

I haven’t been to Berlin yet but I’d love to go there someday. It has so much history and there are so many attractions to see.
You should visit Berlin Sara 🙂 There are so many things to do. Let me know if you have more questions
Nice list! I still can’t believe I haven’t been to some of these!
Thank you! Monica. Really?. I haven’t been to many places myself either. For example, Thai Park and Mustafa’s Kebap in Kreuzberg are on my list 🙂
This is such a comprehensive guide for 3 days in Berlin – we are thinking of a trip at Christmas and this is such a big help! The Sony Centre looks like fun and would be interested to the see memorial and wall. Thanks for sharing!
No problem Katie, thanks! 🙂 I’m glad to hear that the list is helpful. Of course, there are more options but in the list, you will find the must-see places. When I get visitors, I take them to these places
Saving for my trip in August! Can’t wait to try the Asian food as it is not readily available in Italy ??
Awesome Chloe :). The prices are very affordable and you will find many options. I hope you have a great time in Berlin
Best Thai? I go to Berlin in 3 weeks and Thailand in 3 months so it would be nice to eat some Thai food there too.
Cool!, Keeley. Yes, here you will find a lot of options. I guess it depends on where are you staying. In Prenzlauer Berg there are many and you can also go to Thai Park 🙂
