Discovering the Best of Berlin in 2 Days

by | Oct 22, 2024 | Original Berlin

Day 1: Exploring the Historic Sights

1. Brandenburg Gate

Many people know that when traveling to Berlin they have to visit the Brandenburg Gate. This neoclassical icon was the emblem of Berlin during the Cold War and is currently the emblem of reunification. Admire this historic building and take great pictures to remind yourself of your experience here.

2. Reichstag Building

It does not take a long walk from the Brandenburg Gate; the seat of Germany’s Parliament: the Reichstag Building is situated. Constructed with a glass dome at the top, visitors have the opportunity to watch the city from the aerial view. Just to remind the visitor, please remember to purchase your free entry ticket online to avoid queuing for a long time.

3. Museum Island

It is a set of buildings on the bank of Spree River in Berlin which is enlisted as a world heritage site and houses some of the oldest and richest collections in Europe. Bewitched by rich collections of arts and history the five most famous museums are located in Berlin: Pergamon Museum and Neues Museum among of them.

4. Checkpoint Charlie

Hear a shot, see Berlin wall and rush through Cold War history at Checkpoint Charlie. A once heavily symbolic location that divides East and West Berlin, providing a glimpse of the ugly past. Visit Checkpoint Charlie Museum to learn more about the stories that went through this phase in the history of Berlin.

If you are in Berlin, the East Side Gallery is a must visit place for a stroll. This is an art gallery which is found over a platform with painted murals on a part of the last stretch of the Berlin Wall. Go slow enough to admire the deep meaning and the kind of messages passed by the artists from all over the world.

2. Museum Berggruen

Art lovers should particularly like Museum Berggruen and that is why I would highly recommend it. This museum features housing the works of some of contemporary master artists such as Picasso, Matisse, and Klee among others and it provides a quiet and small setting in which to admire great pieces. This is great news especially for art lovers, who were delighted with the beautiful sculpture garden perfect for a silent walk.

3. Tiergarten

This shrine like this is a great place for a walk, to have a snack or simply to rent a bike. Do not miss the chance to notice the car, covering the Victory Column and to walk round in the park on its difficult with many paths, flower beds, and even small lakes.

4. Charlottenburg Palace

The largest palace in Berlin is Charlottenburg Palace and you can gaze at the astonishing ever grandeur of the building. Take a tour of the ornately decorated baroque façade, the beautiful gardens and art and history within the basilica.
