This experience is essential to anyone who is serious about exploring the best of Berlin.
Start your day by heading over to the Reichstag, Germany’s parliament building. Stroll through Tiergarten, Berlin’s vast central park, past the memorial to the Sinti and Roma murdered by the Nazis, to arrive at the 18th-century landmark Brandenburg Gate. Get your local host to take a picture of yourself with this symbol of German reunification.
From here, follow the former course of the Berlin Wall, pausing to ponder the unspeakable horrors of WW II by the Holocaust Memorial. From there, let your local host guide you to Potsdamer Platz where you can admire masterpieces of contemporary architecture. Walk past Checkpoint Charlie and discover the free outdoor history exhibit.
At this point, you might want to refuel. Your local host will suggest some good options for lunch around Friedrichstrasse, which are loved by locals. Make sure you also allocate some time to check out some quirky shops, artisan chocolatiers and designer stores in this area.
Breathe in the history while you walk towards the Berlin Cathedral. According to your preferences, your local host will suggest other attractions and activities for the afternoon.
