Berlin is a big city and a little preparation definitely pays off \u2014 you&#8217;ll save both time and money.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_to_Berlin\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_to_Berlin\"><\/span>How to get to Berlin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are several ways to reach Berlin from the UK. <strong>By plane<\/strong>, direct flights from London to Berlin BER airport take around 1 hour 45 minutes, with airlines like <strong>easyJet<\/strong>, <strong>Ryanair<\/strong>, and <strong>British Airways<\/strong> operating regular services. You can also fly from Manchester, Edinburgh, and other UK cities. Tickets typically cost \u00a330\u201380 for a return if booked in advance. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/how-find-cheap-flights-tips\/\">Read our guide on finding cheap flights.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>By train<\/strong>, you can take the Eurostar from London St Pancras to Brussels, then connect to Berlin via high-speed trains \u2014 the entire journey takes around 8\u20139 hours. It&#8217;s a great option if you enjoy scenic travel and want to reduce your carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By bus<\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/global.flixbus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">FlixBus<\/a><\/strong> operates routes from London and other European cities to Berlin, though the journey is long (14+ hours). It&#8217;s the cheapest option, with tickets often starting from \u00a320.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_transport_in_Berlin_and_Berlin_WelcomeCard_2026\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_transport_in_Berlin_and_Berlin_WelcomeCard_2026\"><\/span>Public transport in Berlin and Berlin WelcomeCard 2026<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can&#8217;t get by without public transport in Berlin, and fortunately it works brilliantly here. The city has an extensive network of underground trains (U-Bahn), city trains (S-Bahn), trams, and buses. The easiest way to buy tickets is through the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bvg.de\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BVG<\/a><\/strong> app, or at ticket machines in metro stations (card payment accepted). Tram ticket machines only accept cash.<\/p>\n<p>A tip for buses: in Berlin, you need to wave at the driver, otherwise they won&#8217;t stop for you even at a bus stop. Night lines (marked N) run every 30 minutes from approximately 0:30 to 4:30.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning to spend several days in Berlin, it&#8217;s worth getting a <strong>Berlin WelcomeCard<\/strong>. It includes unlimited public transport and discounts on dozens of attractions. Here are the approximate prices for 2026:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Option<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Zone AB (city centre)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Zone ABC (+ airport)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>48 hours<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>\u20ac25<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>\u20ac29<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>72 hours<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>\u20ac33<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>\u20ac37<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>5 days<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>\u20ac41<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>\u20ac46<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>6 days<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>\u20ac47<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>\u20ac52<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p>If you want to save on museum admission, consider the <strong>WelcomeCard + Museum Island<\/strong> variant, which for a surcharge includes entry to the entire Museum Island.

It&#8217;s 26 metres tall and 11 metres long. The gate consists of six columns and five passageways, topped by a sculpture of a chariot driven by Victoria, the goddess of victory, entering the city.<\/p>\n<p>The gate was built in 1734 and originally served as a customs gate in the city&#8217;s fortifications. <strong>On 30 January 1933, a parade by the NSDAP passed through the gate, having just seized power in Germany.<\/strong> Today, New Year&#8217;s Eve celebrations are held around the gate annually, and it&#8217;s one of the most photographed spots in all of Berlin. I recommend coming early in the morning or in the evening, when there are fewer crowds and the light is at its most beautiful.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Brandengurger-Tor.jpg\" alt=\"Brandenburg Gate in Berlin\" class=\"wp-image-59113\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brandenburg Gate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Berlin_TV_Tower\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Berlin_TV_Tower\"><\/span>Berlin TV Tower<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At 368 metres, this tower holds the title of the tallest freestanding structure in the European Union.

It was historically a Jewish neighbourhood, but today it&#8217;s primarily home to a large Turkish community \u2014 which means you&#8217;ll find some of the best d\u00f6ners in all of Germany here.

You&#8217;ll hear fascinating historical and contemporary stories, and the guides are usually brilliant storytellers.<\/p>\n<p>More free tips: on Sundays, <strong>Mauerpark<\/strong> hosts a legendary flea market with open-air karaoke (it&#8217;s a blast!). <strong>Tempelhofer Feld<\/strong> is perfect for an entire afternoon \u2014 bring a blanket, some food, and enjoy the vast space of the former airport. And don&#8217;t miss a stroll along <strong>Unter den Linden<\/strong>, Berlin&#8217;s most famous boulevard stretching from Brandenburg Gate to Museum Island.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_eat_in_Berlin_street_food_restaurants_and_cafes\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_eat_in_Berlin_street_food_restaurants_and_cafes\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-to-eat-in-berlin-street-food-restaurants-and-cafes\">Where to eat in Berlin: street food, restaurants, and caf\u00e9s<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Berlin is a paradise for food lovers. It&#8217;s not a city of haute cuisine (though you&#8217;ll find that too), but rather a city where you&#8217;ll stumble upon the best street food of your life. And crucially \u2014 food here is much cheaper than in Paris or London.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Currywurst\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Currywurst\"><\/span>Currywurst<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Currywurst is a Berlin classic \u2014 sliced sausage with curry ketchup, usually served with chips. It sounds simple, but Berliners argue passionately about who makes the best one. Our two favourite spots: <strong>Curry 36<\/strong> on Mehringdamm in Kreuzberg (open late, perfect after a night out) and <strong>Konnopke&#8217;s Imbiss<\/strong> in Prenzlauer Berg \u2014 a legendary stand operating since 1930, right under the U-Bahn tracks. A currywurst costs around \u20ac3\u20134.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Berlin_doner_kebab\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Berlin_doner_kebab\"><\/span>Berlin d\u00f6ner kebab<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Berlin is the d\u00f6ner capital of Europe \u2014 and that&#8217;s no exaggeration. The Turkish community has lived here since the 1960s, and a Berlin d\u00f6ner is in a completely different league to what you&#8217;ll find in the UK. <strong>Mustafa&#8217;s Gem\u00fcse Kebap<\/strong> on Mehringdamm is probably the most famous \u2014 but expect to queue for up to an hour. If you don&#8217;t want to wait, try <strong>R\u00fcyam Gem\u00fcse Kebab<\/strong> (often rated even higher) or <strong>Imren<\/strong> in Kreuzberg. A d\u00f6ner costs around \u20ac5\u20137 and is a full meal.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Markthalle_Neun_and_street_food_markets\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Markthalle_Neun_and_street_food_markets\"><\/span>Markthalle Neun and street food markets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At the covered market <strong>Markthalle Neun<\/strong> in Kreuzberg, you&#8217;ll get to taste food from all over the world, browse interesting shops, and enjoy cultural events. During the daily markets, you&#8217;ll find fresh produce and great coffee. Every Thursday, the popular <strong>Street Food Thursday<\/strong> takes over, transforming the hall into a gastronomic paradise with stalls from around the globe \u2014 from Vietnamese bao buns to Argentine empanadas. Expect to pay \u20ac8\u201315 per portion.<\/p>\n<p>Other great street food markets: <strong>Bite Club<\/strong> (by the canal, mainly in summer), <strong>Thai Park<\/strong> in Preu\u00dfenpark (authentic Thai food for just a few euros), and the weekend market at <strong>Mauerpark<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cafe_recommendations\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cafe_recommendations\"><\/span>Caf\u00e9 recommendations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Berlin is a coffee lover&#8217;s paradise. If you appreciate good coffee, here are our favourite roasters and caf\u00e9s:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Barn<\/strong> \u2014 one of Berlin&#8217;s most famous roasters with several locations. The flat white here is perfection. The main branch is on Sch\u00f6nhauser Allee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Five Elephant<\/strong> \u2014 a Kreuzberg roaster famous not only for coffee but also for cheesecake. Definitely try it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bonanza Coffee<\/strong> \u2014 pioneers of Berlin&#8217;s third-wave coffee scene. Their Kreuzberg roastery has an industrial interior and superb coffee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chapter One<\/strong> \u2014 a cosy caf\u00e9 in Mitte with excellent food and coffee. Perfect for brunch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_find_beer_and_cocktails\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_find_beer_and_cocktails\"><\/span>Where to find beer and cocktails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Berlin has an incredible bar scene. <strong>BRLO Brwhouse<\/strong> (near Gleisdreieck Park) is a brewery in converted shipping containers with its own craft beers and excellent burgers \u2014 the atmosphere is amazing, especially in summer on the terrace. For classic German beer in a historic setting, head to <strong>Prater Garten<\/strong> in Prenzlauer Berg \u2014 Berlin&#8217;s oldest beer garden (since 1837!).<\/p>\n<p>In summer, it&#8217;s wonderful to sit by the canal in Kreuzberg \u2014 grab a beer from a Sp\u00e4ti (corner shop) and join the locals on the bank. It&#8217;s free and the atmosphere is priceless.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Berlin_nightlife_bars_clubs_and_the_alternative_scene\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Berlin_nightlife_bars_clubs_and_alternative_scene\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"berlin-nightlife-bars-clubs-and-alternative-scene\">Berlin nightlife: bars, clubs, and the alternative scene<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Berlin&#8217;s nightlife is legendary \u2014 and deservedly so. People don&#8217;t go clubbing at 11 pm here; they start at 2 am on Saturday and finish on Sunday afternoon. If you&#8217;re interested in Berlin&#8217;s nightlife, here are some tips.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Berghain_and_techno_culture\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Berghain_and_techno_culture\"><\/span>Berghain and techno culture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Berghain<\/strong> is the world&#8217;s most famous techno club, housed in a former power station near Ostbahnhof. The queue is long and entry isn&#8217;t guaranteed \u2014 the legendary bouncer Sven doesn&#8217;t care where you&#8217;re from or what you look like; it&#8217;s all about the &#8220;vibe.&#8221; A few tips: go in a small group (ideally 1\u20132 people), dress inconspicuously in black, don&#8217;t take photos in the queue, and above all \u2014 be calm and authentic. Entry costs around \u20ac20. Inside, there&#8217;s a strict no-photography policy (they put tape over your phone camera). The sound and atmosphere are unforgettable.<\/p>\n<p>If Berghain doesn&#8217;t let you in (or you&#8217;d rather not risk it), try <strong>Tresor<\/strong> (another legendary techno club in a former bank vault), <strong>:\/\/about blank<\/strong>, or <strong>Sisyphos<\/strong> (a former bread factory with an outdoor swimming pool).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_bars\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_bars\"><\/span>Best bars<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Klunkerkranich<\/strong> is a bar on the roof of a car park in Neuk\u00f6lln with views of the sunset over Berlin \u2014 in summer, it&#8217;s an absolutely magical spot. <strong>Monkey Bar<\/strong> at the 25hours Hotel near the Zoo offers cocktails with views of Tiergarten and the monkey enclosure (yes, really). <strong>Prater Garten<\/strong> is for lovers of classic German beer in a historic setting.<\/p>\n<p>For cocktail bars, I recommend <strong>Buck and Breck<\/strong> (speakeasy style, only 14 seats) or <strong>Rum Trader<\/strong> in Sch\u00f6neberg (you&#8217;re not allowed to order \u2014 the barman mixes a drink based on your mood).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RAW_Gelande\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RAW_Gelande\"><\/span>RAW Gel\u00e4nde<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>RAW Gel\u00e4nde<\/strong> in Friedrichshain is a former industrial complex that has transformed into the epicentre of Berlin&#8217;s alternative culture.

In the evening, several clubs and bars come alive \u2014 it&#8217;s a place where tourists mix with locals and the atmosphere is relaxed and creative. In summer, the outdoor biergarten is fantastic.

Here are our recommendations:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Potsdam and Sanssouci Palace<\/strong> \u2014 A historic city just 40 minutes by train from Berlin. Sanssouci Palace, the former summer residence of Prussian kings (UNESCO), is surrounded by breathtaking gardens. In Potsdam, also check out the small Brandenburg Gate, the Russian quarter of Alexandrowka, and the <strong>Holl\u00e4ndisches Viertel<\/strong> with its charming brick houses. Another interesting site is the <strong>Weberviertel<\/strong> (Czech colony Nowawes), which was founded as a refuge for Czech Protestant emigrants \u2014 in the centre square stands a church and a statue of Jan Amos Comenius.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sachsenhausen<\/strong> \u2014 A Nazi concentration camp 25 km from central Berlin. Built in 1936, it became the administrative headquarters for all concentration camps two years later. Today it houses a memorial and museum. I recommend setting aside an entire morning for the visit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tropical Islands<\/strong> \u2014 The largest indoor water park in Europe, ideal for families with children and anyone wanting to enjoy a tropical atmosphere with sandy beaches and lagoons. It&#8217;s about an hour&#8217;s drive from Berlin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spreewald<\/strong> \u2014 A beautiful natural area with canals where you can take a ride on traditional wooden boats or rent a kayak to explore the local villages and forests.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beelitz-Heilst\u00e4tten<\/strong> \u2014 A mysterious abandoned sanatorium with guided tours and a treetop walkway. The site is popular among history enthusiasts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wittenberg<\/strong> \u2014 A city associated with Martin Luther and the Reformation. You can visit Luther&#8217;s House, the famous church where he nailed his 95 theses, and the beautiful historic centre.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sanssouci.jpg\" alt=\"Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam\" class=\"wp-image-59120\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sanssouci<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Festivals_and_events_in_Berlin\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Festivals_and_events_in_Berlin\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"festivals-and-events-in-berlin\">Festivals and events in Berlin<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dozens of festivals take place in Berlin throughout the year.
