What To Do in Berlin

There is no shortage of great things to do in Berlin! In addition to these ideas, there are also a ton of fantastic free things to do in Berlin + a fantastic vegan food tour with locals!

Take a walking tour

There is so much to learn and see in Berlin! A walking tour is a great way to see the sights and learn about various topics — WWII, Cold War, art, food — there is something for everyone. We did a half-day WWII tour, and it was well worth it. You also get the opportunity to talk with someone who lives there and get their feedback on things to do and see. Here are a couple of tour options, including the one that we did:

Visit the Topography of Terror

This exhibition is in the former headquarters of the Secret State Police, the SS, and the Reich Security Main Office. Multiple permanent collections examine through photos and documents the site’s history, the crimes the SS and Third Reich committed, and propaganda used to perpetuate terror. Guided tours are available; if you go on your own, don’t miss the audio guide. It’s essential.

Pay tribute at The Berlin Wall

Located on Bernauer Straße, this memorial is the last piece of the Berlin Wall that once divided the country. Also, consider adding on a half-day tour of East Berlin.

Check out beautiful works of at at The Pergamonmuseum

One of the most popular museums in Berlin — which means buy your tickets in advance! Many are drawn here to see the Pergamon Altar and the Ishtar Gate, but there is a lot of beautiful Middle Eastern art and antiquities to check out.

Wander the Berlin Botanical Garden

A beautiful place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is the second-largest botanical garden in the world and is filled with over 20,000 plant species. Fun fact: the park started as a kitchen garden, growing vegetables and hops, and has since evolved into a vibrant collection of plants, including some that are endangered!

Grab lunch or a snack at Markthalle IX (Market Hall Nine) 

A historic market in the heart of Kreuzberg filled with a variety of gastronomic delights! There is a weekly market Tuesday – Thursday and Saturday that features a wide range of produce, baked goods, and more. Every Thursday evening, there is an international street food market. It’s a great place to grab a snack or have dinner — we did find some tasty vegan tacos and a stuffed tofu dish.

A Few More Things To Do in Berlin

• Shop and people watch at one of the many outdoor markets
• Visit the first and only Ramones Museum in the world.
• Visit the historic Reichstag Building — If you want to head to the top of the Reichstag, it is free, but you must register ahead of time. A warning, it is popular; don’t wait to reserve tickets.
• Take a walk through Tiergarten
• Consider taking the train to Dresden
• Grab a bike and explore Berlin on your own or join a bike tour

How to Get Around Berlin

Getting around Berlin is a breeze! Their public transportation system is efficient and well planned. If you’re coming from the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport you have a few options.

The Airport Express regional trains (RE7, RB14) go between the airport and Berlin Hauptbahnhof twice per hour. It will take about 30 minutes to get to the city center. You can also grab the #9 S-Bahn, which runs more frequently than the express trains. The train station is located directly below Terminal 1. Another option is the Express Bus and X7. Both often travel throughout the day to multiple U-Bahn stations throughout the city. Train and bus tickets cost €3.60. Taxis can also be found outside terminals 1 and 5 and cost about €45 – 50.

While you’re in Berlin, you have a couple of options for transportation.  You can purchase a day pass for travel on all public transport for €8.80 – 10 or buy a 7-day pass for €36 – 58 (prices range depending on the zones you are traveling).

Another option to consider is a Berlin Welcome card; it includes free public transportation and discounts to many attractions. A 3-day pass is €23, and you can go all the way up to 6 days for €50 (if you want to add on travel to the airport and Potsdam, the price is a little more).
