If you are on a strict budget check out places in Friedrichshain. This locally popular district is just east of Alexanderplatz and offers some of the best deals we have heard of. You can also check out some of the areas by the zoo close to kudam.

This one is fairly easy. Anything in Mitte will do quite nicely here. The Public transportation all runs through Mitte, and many of Berlin’s most visited highlights and areas are here too.

Well, sometimes Berlin gets pretty full. Whether it’s an event weekend or just a busy summer weekend. Make sure to look up one of the hundreds of hostels as they often offer private rooms as well and not all of them list online. In a pinch call places up and when they are full ask if they know any places with a room!

This could be any district but if you’re looking for a place with maybe a bit fewer tourists than the middle of Mitte. You can look at some places in Kreuzburg for an urban look at Berlin and Prenzlauerberg for a bed and breakfast neighborhood type of feel.

Berlin is filled with history, monuments, art, and amazing buildings. It would take years to see it all but there are some good ways to get a start and some things that everyone wants to see. We would always suggest jumping on an expert tour as you can see the most in the shortest amount of time. An expert guide will not only lead you through the city to the major areas but also point out some amazing history and sights along the way you might have missed. If you are going solo, start in Mitte as you can see the most for the first time there. Here is a list of “some” of the most visited landmarks you should also see.

Outside of Mitte and the above-mentioned Major landmarks, there is still plenty to see. A trip to Schloss Charlottenburg is a good way to relax and get out of the dense crowds. Visit some beautiful green spaces that we will list below, or find an event that going on in the city. There are hundreds of historic places to see and thousands of museums and memorials. This site the museum portal lists them all. Oh and don’t forget about the food and drink in the city. We will get into that later in the post!

Berlin also offers many quick half-day getaways. You can take a quick trip out to Wannsee or Mugelsee for a swim (Check out our full Berlin Swimming Guide Here) Or head down to the royal city of Potsdam and check out all the castles. A tour would help you see it all quickly, but you can also walk around yourself. You can also head north on a Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial Tour. We don’t know if your 48 hours would allow for any of these but they are all great things to do when visiting Berlin.

Street art is everywhere in Berlin. Many of the most famous street artists known today have worked the walls of Berlin. We suggest taking a street art tour with a guide who knows where it’s all at, but you can also explore solo, we suggest starting in Kreuzberg.

 Berlin has hundreds of art galleries, museums, and live art events. If your looking for a particular type google is your best friend there. but check out Berlin Art Link for what’s going on during your visit. They do a great job of offering a starting point to the immense Berlin art scene.

Berlin loves to be creative with its space, especially green space.
