Berlin: Visit the World of Berlin
Berlin is a city open to people, to music, to the new and the old, to the noise and the quiet, both inside and outside. There is no need to decide on Berlin, Berlin is simply there. And always will be. Something is always happening. Every day of the year there are events, stellar attractions, entertainment, and culture. Berlin is open 365/24: exciting 365 days a year, with a 24-hour schedule.
The museum scene has an impressive variety. Three opera houses satisfy any desire for high culture, while the countless clubs offer a genuine spirit of subculture. At two in the afternoon, the Berghain is still overflowing, and you can have a curry sausage in a snack bar at five in the morning. In this city, you'll find more of the world concentrated per square metre than anywhere else.
To book a trip to Berlin, do you first have to look at the city's calendar of events? No need, there is always something to suit everyone! There is no need to plan your trip to Berlin: the city sets the agenda. In Berlin, the past is as present as the work that creates tomorrow. Artistic weeks, fashion weeks, theatre weeks, musical weeks... the city is full of new ideas, creativity, and inspiration. What does not yet exist today will be a thing of the distant past tomorrow. Berlin has something for everyone.
Visit the best monuments
Little time to explore Berlin but want to make the most of your visit? Here is a selection of the most outstanding monuments.
- The Reichstag (Parliament): visitors can watch the hustle and bustle of the city from the rooftop terrace and the impressive glass dome of the Reichstag.
- Brandenburg Gate: Undoubtedly, the reference point of the city and symbol of reunification: the Brandenburg Gate. Finished in 1791, it was just one of the many gates that surrounded the ancient city of Berlin.
- The Fernsehturm (Television Tower): The Fernsehturm can be seen from afar, and at 368 m high it is the tallest building in Berlin. Built in the 1960s, it offers visitors a unique 360° view of the city. The Fernsehturm is located directly on the Alexanderplatz, the centre of old East Berlin.
- The Gendarmenmarkt: Near the Friedrichstraße, the exclusive shopping street of Berlin-Mitte, is one of the most beautiful squares in Berlin: the Gendarmenmarkt. The Konzerthaus, designed by Schinkel, as well as the German Cathedral and the French Cathedral make for three of the capital's most outstanding architectural landmarks.
- Charlottenburg Palace: The magnificent Charlottenburg Palace is located on the outskirts of the city centre. Built around 1700 by the Prussian head of state Frederick III for his beloved and highly revered wife Sophie-Charlotte, it is situated in the middle of the picturesque castle park directly on the river Spree.
- Museum Island: On the Museum Island of Berlin, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, you will find the most important exhibition places in the city: the Old Museum, the New Museum, the Bode Museum, the Pergamon Museum, and the Old National Gallery. Their collections represent more than 6000 years of history of art and culture.
- The Berlin Wall Memorial and Documentation Centre: The Berlin Wall Memorial is located on the Bernauer Strasse, between the Wedding and Mitte districts. It consists of the memorial to the victims of the division, a documentation centre, and the Chapel of Reconciliation. Visitors can still see the border fortifications today thanks to a preserved section of the wall with a watchtower.
Cycling through Berlin
Experience tourism in a different way and cycle on your sightseeing tour around Berlin. Larger and smaller distances, such as between the Brandenburg Gate and Alexanderplatz, can be easily covered by bicycle. Excursions around the Tiergarten or to one of the many lakes in the city area are worthwhile and fun.
Bicycle Rental Stations
You will find bike rental stations everywhere in Berlin: Most of them are located in Mitte (e.g., at the Friedrichstraße station), Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain or near the Zoologischer Garten station. Rental prices are around twelve euros per day - depending on whether you want a simple three-speed bike or a sports mountain bike for your excursions.
The Wall Cycling Tour in Berlin
The cycle route along the Wall Trail along the old stretch of the Wall is particularly well known. Take the first road, which is mostly paved. In the centre of Berlin, the route of the city wall is partly marked by a cobbled strip, and the traces of the city wall can usually be followed in quiet side streets.
Neighborhoods of Berlin
Reinickendorf? Treptow-Köpenick? Is that still Berlin? Of course! The 12 Berlin districts are the true face of the German capital. Since: Berlin is not the same as Berlin. The great diversity of the districts has grown: Each neighbourhood, called a "Kiez" in Berlin, is marked by its own history – either Charlottenburg in the west by the upper bourgeoisie during the “Gründerzeit” (the time of the founders) or Marzahn in the east by the typically socialist architecture of the GDR. Former industrial complexes that have been transformed into impressive cultural institutions characterise Berlin's districts in the same way as their dreamy villages, comfortable cafés, colourful market squares and covered markets do; not to mention the vast green landscapes, rivers, and recreational lakes.
Berlin Centre
The centre of Berlin is first and foremost one thing: pure culture! Around the new Humboldt Forum you will find many first-class historical sights, but the other districts in the heart of the city will also surprise you: with the culture of life. Visit Mitte, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf.
East Berlin
The eastern districts of Berlin follow one rule: no two are alike! Discover the castle of Frederick the Great's wife in Pankow, experience the concrete-slab tower blocks in Marzahn-Hellersdorf, visit the largest zoo in Europe in Lichtenberg, or sail the water in Treptow-Köpenick.
West Berlin
West Berlin captivates with its clear waters, vast green landscapes, and lively city life. Discover the lakes and cycle paths in Spandau and Steglitz-Zehlendorf, enjoy the shopping culture in Tempelhof-Schöneberg, or the cultural walks in Reinickendorf.
Berlin with children
Berlin has a huge range of things to do for families with children, be they young, school-age, or teenagers. Attractions, theatres, cafés, museums, events, guided tours: Berlin has it all, especially for children.
- Puppet theatre: fun for the little ones at Fliegendes Theatre Berlin, Theatre Mirakulum and the Figurentheater Grashüpfer, among others.
- Berlin Zoo: The oldest zoo in Germany and yet very modern. The Berlin Zoo and the Berlin Aquarium are undoubtedly a great place for families.
- LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre invites you to have an unforgettable experience in its 3,500 m² of exhibition space! Here you'll find creativity and fun in one place - what do you want to build with over two million LEGO® pieces? MINILAND, the medieval Drachenburg Castle, the LEGO® science factory and, of course, Clutch Powers offers you the chance to go to the cinema in 4D!
- Natural History Museum (Museum für Naturkunde): The little ones will be amazed by the prehistoric animals, birds, and the legendary polar bear, 'Knut'. Or taking a look back at the genesis of the universe. One thing not to be missed is the largest dinosaur skeleton found in the world, a colossal Brachiosaurus 13.27 meters high.
- Museum of computer games: 60 years of video games make for many games! In the Computer Games Museum, you can immerse yourself in today's virtual world as well as interactive gaming culture, from the first games to the latest novelties, from classics that still work to the rarest games or 3D simulators.
- ANOHA – The Children's World of the Jewish Museum Berlin: It is about learning to live respectfully with each other, with animals and with nature. It is all about the children, who decide what is done and whose ideas and wishes were integrated into the design of the museum from the beginning.
Weather in Berlin
