About Berlin
Berlin is Europe's largest city by area and one of its most culturally layered — the division of the city into East and West Berlin from 1961 to 1989 left a physical and psychological imprint that still defines the city's geography, architecture, and identity. The East Side Gallery, a 1.3 km stretch of surviving Wall painted by artists from around the world, is the most vivid reminder; Checkpoint Charlie, the Stasi Museum in the former Ministry for State Security headquarters, and the DDR Museum provide further depth. Berlin's Museum Island in the Spree River is a UNESCO World Heritage Site housing five major museums including the Pergamon Museum (currently partially closed for renovation) and the Neues Museum. The club scene — particularly Berghain and the venues of the former East — has shaped electronic music globally since the 1990s. Neighbourhoods like Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg, and Neukölln have dense concentrations of independent cafes, galleries, and restaurants that make extended exploration rewarding. Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) replaced Tegel in 2020 and is the single hub for all Berlin traffic; Ryanair, easyJet, and Wizz Air all have significant operations here, making BER one of the most price-competitive major European airports for short-haul. Mid-week departures in March, October, and November reliably produce the lowest inbound fares; July-August adds a significant premium driven by festival season demand. Potsdam's Sanssouci palaces are 30 minutes by S-Bahn and an easy half-day addition.
Where to stay in Berlin
How the main neighbourhoods compare, based on trip type.
- MitteBest for first visit
The city centre district has the Museum Island (five world-class museums on a river island in the Spree), the Brandenburg Gate, the Holocaust Memorial, and Checkpoint Charlie all within a 30-minute walk of each other. The Reichstag building offers free visits with pre-registration - worth booking before travel. Mitte is the most logical base for a first visit because the distances between major sights are genuinely walkable. The Hackescher Markt area on the eastern edge has good restaurants and bars for evenings.
Metro: U2, U5, U8 (Alexanderplatz), S1, S2 (Brandenburger Tor) · Airport: Around 40-50 min by train from BER airport to Hauptbahnhof · Monumental, tourist-heavy, very central
- Prenzlauer BergBest for a weekend
The neighbourhood north of Mitte was among the most sought-after residential areas in Berlin after reunification and retains the character of that period - wide tree-lined streets, large renovated Art Nouveau apartment buildings, and a very high density of brunch spots and independent cafes. The Mauerpark flea market on Sunday mornings is one of the best in Berlin. The Kulturbrauerei, a former brewery turned cultural centre, hosts regular markets and events. Comfortable and lively for a 2-3 night stay.
Metro: Line U2 (Eberswalder Strasse), M1, M10 trams · 20 min to Alexanderplatz · Brunch culture, Sunday market, Art Nouveau streets
- KreuzbergBest for nightlife
