Berlin travel guide

Three days in Germany's most layered city

Plan your first day around Berlin's historic centre, use the second for neighbourhoods and museums, and keep the third flexible for a day trip or a slower morning in a local café.

The places worth making time for

01Brandenburg Gate & Unter den LindenStart early for quiet photos, then walk east towards Museum Island.

02Reichstag DomeReserve ahead for the free glass-dome visit and city views.

03Museum IslandChoose one museum rather than rushing all five in one day.

04East Side GalleryCombine the murals with a walk along the Spree and a Kreuzberg dinner.
