Jul 29, 2025
Spent a sun-soaked day exploring some of Berlin’s most iconic spots, with killer food and street art vibes all over the city 🌞🧱
Top Spots to Visit in Berlin:
1. Topography of Terror (Niederkirchnerstraße 8, 10963): This outdoor museum on the site of the Nazi SS HQ is deeply moving—and entry is totally FREE. Open 10:00-20:00 most days!
2. Checkpoint Charlie (Friedrichstraße 43-45, 10117): Snap a photo at this legendary former border crossing. Open 24/7, so swing by anytime for Cold War nostalgia.
3. Brandenburg Gate (Pariser Platz, 10117): Berlin’s ultimate landmark! Iconic for those classic Berlin selfies, open all day.
4. Reichstag Building (Platz der Republik 1, 11011): Don’t miss the glass dome for insane city views—open from 8:00-22:00. Advance registration online is recommended for entry!
5. Berlin Underworld (Brunnenstraße 105, 13355): Tour underground WWII bunkers for around €17—super fascinating, but book in advance since tours fill up fast.
6. Alexanderplatz: Head here for shopping, giant TV tower pics, and classic Berlin city hustle.
Street culture tip: The Berlin Wall East Side Gallery is a graffiti paradise. Take your time checking out all the street art pieces—bring your camera!
Food hack: Refuel with Berlin’s legendary kebab or “Donner Kebag”—cheap, filling, and found everywhere! Also, don’t skip a crispy schnitzel for classic German flavor.
Moving around: Grab a Berlin WelcomeCard for unlimited public transport—U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams, all sorted.
Key tips: Germany uses euros—pay cash at street food stands; most places accept cards otherwise. Weather shifts fast, so layer up if you're spending the whole day outdoors.
