What to do in Berlin
East Side Gallery
(2.7 mi)
Visiting the outdoor East Side Gallery is a rite of passage when visiting Berlin (especially if it’s for the first time). It’s 1316 metres long, and you’ll be able to take in both art and history while strolling along its length.
Tempelhof
(2.3 mi)
The historic Tempelhof airport is now a public park, where Berliners gather to socialise, picnic and play sport. Cycle around the bike trail or watch the sunset from the grassy banks with the locals.
Stadtbad Neukölln
(1 mi)
Architect Reinhold Kiehl designed an ensemble of public baths and public library based on the model of an ancient thermal bath. Visit the Stadtbad Neukölln for a relaxing and aesthetic bathing experience - don't miss the herbal sauna.
Mauerpark
(6.9 mi)
If you're in Berlin for the weekend, the Sunday market at Mauerpark is a must. Browse the eclectic offerings of the flea market, grab a drink from the off licence, and take in a view of the city from the swings. If you're feeling brave you can even join in with the popular outdoor karaoke session!
Jewish Museum
(3.6 mi)
For a challenging but fascinating experience, visit the Jewish Museum. Since 2001, the museum has showcased the vast experiences of the Jewish people, both their past and present, covering everything from the documentation of Jewish German families to Jewish history from the Middle Ages to today.
Markthalle IX
(3 mi)
A trio of locals banded together to save this indoor market in 2009 when threatened with closure, and we're glad they did. Visit Markethalle IX to discover a variety of food stalls, bakeries, and a microbrewery among other things. Check out the popular Street Food Thursday evening, or any special events that may be on!
Reichstag
(5.7 mi)
One of the most recognisable buildings in Berlin, the Reichstag has a long history. Book ahead of time for an opportunity to see the city from the 360-degree glass dome at the top of the building.
