Brandenburg Gate & Reichstag
The icon, then book the free Reichstag dome for a spiralling glass walk over the city — reserve ahead.

History at every corner and a nightlife that bends time — raw, green and cheap.
When to go: May–September — long days and lake swims; winters are grey but Christmas markets glow.
Best places to visit
Must-see
East Side Gallery
The longest surviving stretch of the Wall, painted end to end — history you walk along the river.
Museum Island
Five museums on one UNESCO islet; the Pergamon's ancient gates are the must, the Neues a close second.
Tempelhofer Feld
A defunct airport turned vast public park — cycle the runways, picnic where planes once landed.
Prenzlauer Berg
Leafy cobbled streets, Sunday Mauerpark flea market and karaoke, brunch spots on every corner.
Kreuzberg
Turkish markets by the canal by day, legendary clubs and döner by night — Berlin at its most Berlin.
