Zeit für Brot
Start with a legendary "Schnecke" (cinnamon roll) and artisanal coffee in a bakery where you can watch the bakers at work.
The classic cinnamon is great, but the white chocolate and raspberry roll is a game-changer.
Brandenburg Gate & Reichstag
Walk through the iconic gate and tour the German Parliament building with its famous glass dome.
You must book the Reichstag Dome visit online weeks in advance; the audio guide is free and excellent.
Konnopke's Imbiss
Dine at the most historic Currywurst stand in East Berlin, serving the city's signature sausage under the U-Bahn tracks since 1930.
Order the "Currywurst mit Pommes" (with fries) and ask for "rot-weiß" (ketchup and mayo).
East Side Gallery & Wall Memorial
Walk the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall, now a massive open-air gallery of international murals.
Start at the Ostbahnhof side and walk toward Warschauer Straße to end up in the heart of the alternative district.
The Barn (Auguststraße)
Take a specialty coffee break at Berlin’s most famous third-wave roastery, known for its strict quality and minimalist vibe.
They take their coffee seriously—no sugar or milk provided for certain roasts to preserve the flavor profile.
Tempelhofer Feld
Experience the unique thrill of walking, cycling, or skating on the massive runways of a defunct mid-city airport.
The sunset views across the vast, open airfield are the best in the city; it's where Berliners go to breathe.
Katz Orange
End your day with "Slow Food" in a stunning converted 19th-century brewery courtyard, specializing in local, sustainable meats.
The 12-hour slow-roasted pork or lamb is their signature; the atmosphere is cozy, upscale, and quintessentially Berlin.
