About this pick
Things to do when in Berlin is one of our hand-picked Sightseeing finds for Berlin. Explore city attractions.
Why Berlin? Berlin is raw, green and endlessly reinventing itself — a city of Cold War scars, world-class galleries and legendary nightlife. The city is known for history and the Wall, techno and nightlife, galleries and street art and lakes and parks.
Good to know: May–September for beer gardens and lake swims; the city is atmospheric but cold from November on. The U-Bahn and S-Bahn run everywhere and late; the city is flat and very cyclable.
