Berlin is one of those cities that pulls you in with its layered history, wild creativity, and effortless cool. It’s gritty and polished, sobering and playful — all at once. Whether you're into street art, stories from the past, coffee spots, or rooftop views, Berlin has something for everyone.

Planning a short trip? Here’s what to do in Berlin in three unforgettable days.

​

Day 1: History and Iconic Landmarks

Start your day with a walk (or e-scooter ride) through Tiergarten, Berlin’s central park. Glide through leafy paths and make your way to the Siegessäule (Victory Column) — a golden angel watching over the city.

From there, head to the Reichstag building. You can visit the glass dome (book ahead!) for panoramic views over Berlin. A short walk brings you to the Brandenburg Gate, one of Berlin’s most iconic landmarks.

Right next door, take time to walk through the Holocaust Memorial. The concrete blocks create a powerful and emotional experience — still and silent in the middle of a buzzing city.

Day 2: Creative Corners and Café Hopping

Kick off your day in the Mitte district with a visit to the beautiful Berliner Dom. It’s stunning from the outside, but the view from the dome is even more worth the climb.

After that, explore the hidden courtyards of Hackesche Höfe — full of art galleries, indie boutiques, and cozy cafés. Grab a coffee, wander, and take it all in.

If you're into street art, head toward RAW-Gelände in Friedrichshain — an old industrial area turned cultural hub, filled with murals, music, and edge.

End your day with a sunset drink at a rooftop bar like Klunkerkranich, perched above a shopping mall parking garage. It’s Berlin weird — and absolutely worth it.

Day 3: The Berlin Wall and Beyond

No trip to Berlin is complete without seeing the Berlin Wall. Walk along the East Side Gallery, where political murals and colorful art cover what once divided the city.

Nearby, you’ll find the Spree river — the perfect place for a relaxed lunch or afternoon stroll.

Want something more offbeat? Visit the quirky Museum of Things (yes, really) or the peaceful gardens of Tempelhofer Feld, a former airport turned massive public park.

Wrap up your day (and trip) with a spritz in the sun at a local bar, reflecting on how much Berlin has shown you in just three days.

​

Extra Tips:

• Use e-scooters to explore like a local — fast, fun, and super Berlin.

• Always carry a bit of cash, especially in smaller spots.

• Don’t rush. Berlin’s magic is in the contrast — modern vs. historical, bold vs. quiet.
