Before you go

Berlin at a glance

Berlin is Germany's capital and largest city, set on the Spree river. People come for its museums, its Cold War history and the Berlin Wall sites, and its food and nightlife. The city is spread out, and each borough has its own center.

Known for

  • Brandenburg Gate Brandenburger Tor

    Neoclassical gate built from 1788 to 1791 at the west end of Unter den Linden, facing Pariser Platz, one block from the Reichstag.

  • Museum Island Museumsinsel

    Five state museums on the north tip of the Spree island in Mitte, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. The Pergamon Museum is closed for renovation until June 2027.

  • East Side Gallery

    Open-air gallery of murals on a 1,316 m stretch of the Berlin Wall along the Spree in Friedrichshain, the longest surviving section.

  • Currywurst

    Sliced pork sausage with curry ketchup, first sold at a West Berlin food stand in 1949 and still a street-stand staple.

  • Kreuzberg

    Neighborhood south of Mitte along the Landwehrkanal, with Görlitzer Park and Viktoriapark and a large Turkish-German community.

Getting there

From Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), the Airport Express (FEX) leaves from the station under Terminal 1. It stops at Südkreuz and Potsdamer Platz and reaches Hauptbahnhof in about 23 minutes. The S9 S-Bahn runs about every 20 minutes via Ostbahnhof, Alexanderplatz and Friedrichstraße. Express buses X7 and X71 link the airport to U-Bahn stations Rudow (U7) and Alt-Mariendorf (U6).

Getting around

U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams and buses share one ticket system run by BVG, S-Bahn and the VBB, with fare zones A, B and C. Plan routes and buy tickets in the BVG Fahrinfo app.

When to go

May to September is warmest, with average summer highs of about 22 to 25 °C. Winters are cold, with average highs around 3 °C, and snow falls mainly from December to March. Rain is moderate all year.

Local tip

Buy a ticket for fare zones ABC for the ride in from BER. The airport needs zone C, so an AB ticket is not enough.
