Explore the Historical Landmarks

Here is how your Saturday morning in Berlin should start to know more about the city’s history. Begin the tour with the Brandenburg Gate which is a sign of unity of the Berlin city after the unification. You should just click a few shots and marvel at the beauty of this architectural wonder. Next, move to the Berlin Wall Memorial in order to discover more about division in the German capital and fight for its reunification. Or go to the Reichstag building and have a view of a panoramic roof in the shape of a glass dome.

Experience Cultural Diversity in Museums

Berlin is also well endowed with many fine museums, a good place for a visit if you want to learn more about the city and country. The Museum Island which is a part of world heritage contains five exceptional collections; the Pergamon museum in particular that houses relics of ancient Greeks and Romans. If you are more into paintings, you should definitely visit the Gemäldegalerie which presents European painting as far as the 13 th –18 th centuries. Do not leave without visiting an art gallery located in an unusual location – on the preserved part of the Berlin Wall – East Side Gallery.

Indulge in Culinary Delights

When you stroll through Berlin on a Saturday, do not think twice to taste the colourful stalls of the culinary offers of the city. When it comes to food don’t forget to try German food such as currywurst or schnitzel at the street bar or in a restaurant. To get closer to the proper German cooking, go early to areas that are considered as modern and bohemian like Kreuzberg or Prenzlauer berg where likely you can find even more foreigners’ restaurants and coffee houses. And of course do not forget to order a Berliner Weisse, an authentic Berlin beer type.

Visit the Bustling Markets

Whenever one is in Berlin on a Saturday, one should not slip through an opportunity to visit the many markets pervading this city. No other market is as famous and visited as the Mauerpark Flea Market where rap and indie music and vintage clothes are mixed with interesting merchandise. Another should not miss destination is the Turkish Market in Kreuzberg that sells lots of mouth watering street foods and fruits and vegetables. Get ready for a vision and audio bombardment as you stroll through the stalls of the market and meet people.

Embrace the green spaces

After getting sun and fun in the city, it’s time to find out what wonderful green zones are hidden in Berlin. The first place to visit is Tiergarten, an extensive park in the center of the city; here can be relaxed near the lake or have a meal at the picnic. For something less conventional, try Tempelhofer Feld, a former airport now serving as a popular park, tourists can rollerblade, bicycle or even take a try at kitesurfing. This is especially very important remember to carry along a blanket so that when you go the park and sit down waiting for the clock to tick away the day, you can be asleep in the sun.
