To complete your stay in Berlin, savor a refreshing Berliner Weiße, a traditional sour beer that perfectly complements the city's vibrant atmosphere. Now, here's the fun part. You gotta order it "mit Schuss." That's Berlin slang for "with a shot" of syrup. Himbeere (raspberry) is red, Waldmeister (woodruff) is green. Go for the green one it will make your beer look like something very weird. A good place at a sunny day is charming Schleusenkrug, a beloved beer garden by the canal.

Visit the Reichstag and learn about the rich history of German politics and have a view of the heart of the city center from the dome. Register for a guided tour of the German Bundestag with a visit to the dome here. Afterwards: treat yourself to a hearty portion of Königsberger Klopse at Clärchens, a historic ballroom and restaurant in Berlin-Mitte, even though only Mom makes the best Klopse. Afterwards, stroll through Mitte with a Späti drink in hand. Spätis are our iconic and beloved small stores. Enjoy the local vibe!

The Wall Museum, which has been documenting the escape stories of people who risked their lives in an attempt to reach the western part of Germany and thus freedom since 1963. The Arminius Market Hall in Tiergarten/Moabit, which is a typical example of a Berlin market hall at the end of the 19th century. Here you will find delicious food in an appealing, historical ambience. A Berlin pub with a long history: the ‘Klo’. A place to spend a humorous evening surrounded by funny objects.

Berlin's most beautiful palace and park is located in Charlottenburg and can be visited individually or on tours in several languages. Stop at the “DICKE WIRTIN” on Savignyplatz around the corner, the perfect place to enjoy a genuine Berlin meal. Afterwards, you can pick up some souvenirs on Berlin's most famous boulevard, the nearby Ku'damm - including Europe's largest department store, the KaDeWe. Have fun in our city!

If you're looking for a unique way to experience Berlin, I highly recommend taking a bridge tour on the Spree River. This scenic cruise offers a fantastic blend of historical landmarks and modern architecture, all while gliding under some of the city's most famous bridges. Starting from the central location of Jannowitzbrücke in Berlin-Mitte, this approximately 3-hour tour will take you past key sights such as the East Side Gallery, Oberbaum Bridge, the Government Quarter, and the iconic Reichstag building. You'll also get to see the beautiful Museum Island and the bustling Nikolaiviertel. One of the best providers for this experience is Stern und Kreisschiffahrt. Enjoy your trip and don't forget your camera for some amazing photo opportunities!

Berlin beyond the clichés: Climb Teufelsberg for a breathtaking view over the city. Then, dive into tradition with a legendary Currywurst at Konnopke. For a modern twist, treat yourself to a creative döner at “Kebab with Attitude.” A perfect trio of adventure, tradition, and flavor—just right for your Berlin trip!

Start your day at the Feuerle Collection, a unique museum inside a former WWII bunker, where ancient and modern art come together in a peaceful, almost mystical setting. Then, relax in Körnerpark, a beautiful hidden park with fountains, sculptures and a cozy café. End your day at Klunkerkranich, a rooftop bar with great drinks, live music, and one of the best sunset views in Berlin. A perfect mix of art, nature, and Berlin’s creative energy!

The Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in the western center of Berlin is one of Berlin's most famous landmarks. The ruin of the old church has been converted into a war memorial. Not far away is Capt’n Schillow Restaurant boat with Berlin cuisine and fish dishes. Dine here in idyllic seclusion.
Afterwards go for a walk through the popular park Tiergarten and enjoy your coffee in Café am Neuen See located on a lake. For music fans: Hansa Studios are world famous and still a very special music house and creative center today. Countless international and national artists and bands have streamed in and out here – David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Brian Eno, U2, Depeche Mode. The list is really endless.
