East Side Gallery

Your ultimate guide to navigating the dynamic and multifaceted city of Berlin. This guide is tailored for first-time visitors, providing a curated selection of must-see attractions, cultural experiences, and practical tips to ensure your inaugural trip is nothing short of extraordinary. The guide is designed on a day by day basis. The activities are grouped together based on location and practicality - it will include where to start your day for a coffee, tourist attractions, shops, and where to feast. The days can be done in any order.

Want to experience Berlin before you go? Or can't go and still want to feel like walking through it? No problem! You'll see the Victory Column, Brandenburg Gate, Museum Island, do a summer cruise on the Spree river, see the big city park Tierpark in fall, and much more!

This is a simple, flexible, 3-day itinerary for a budget traveler. It also includes a list of places to stay, both hostels and hotels, that are affordable but high-quality. Make sure to check the detailed descriptions for each place. Also, be sure to read all hostel/hotel descriptions to make sure you book exactly what you're looking for! This guide is organized as having at least one thing from each of the following categories for each day: culture/history/art, outdoors, & food/drink/nightlife. For museums, I try to include about how long to plan. This guide is organized by day, but not necessarily time. The activities included in each day should fill your time but not leave you feeling rushed. Feel free to mix the order of things as it works for you. Please be aware that a few of these places overlap with my paid guide "Art, Culture, History: A Collection of Must-Dos in Berlin". However, some of my favorite spots didn't fit in this itinerary but they are available there. Therefore, if you'd like to buy that guide for some extra ideas, enjoy 15% off with code BERLIN15!
