Take a trip Berlin

Take a trip to Berlin

The German capital—restless, a little messy, always unexpected. Nearly 10 million visitors each year drift into its rhythm. It’s not just tourism. It’s curiosity.
To really feel Berlin, walking helps. But walking with someone who knows—someone who’s lived its cracks and corners—makes all the difference. The city hides things. Local guides don’t.

Whether it's for two days or ten, Berlin gives you room. The city doesn’t try to impress—it just unfolds. There are over 170 museums. Not all of them grand, but each one holding something. Then there’s the street art. Wander through the streets, and colors follow. The East Side Gallery, once part of the Wall, still stretches long and loud. And Urban Nation? Strange name, but it’s the world’s first museum for street art. Wild, curated, and honest.

When it gets too much, the city softens. Parks open up. The Tempelhofer park—huge, flat, made from an old airport—lets you breathe. Some people ride, others kite, some just lie on the old runway doing nothing at all. Feels right.

Berlin isn’t expensive, not really. And when night falls, it doesn’t quiet down. There’s always a corner lit, a place playing music, something unexpected pulling you in.

5 ideas for guided tours in Berlin

  • Brandenburg Gate

    porte de Brandebourg

    The Brandenburg Gate. One of Berlin’s oldest gateways. It’s stood through empires, wars, and silence. At the far end of Unter den Linden, the long tree-lined avenue that cuts through the city’s heart, it rises like something half-ancient, half-stubborn.

    Built in 1791, its columns echo Athens—deliberately so. On top, the bronze quadriga, once stolen by Napoleon, made its way to Paris. Then came Waterloo. And the statue returned, not quietly.

    War tore the gate apart, but pieces remained. The moulds, somehow, survived. What you see now? Rebuilt. Faithfully. Today, it’s more than just stone—it’s the face of reunification, a witness that never really left.

  • Strolling through Prenzlauer Berg

    Berlin - Prenzlauer Berg

    Don’t miss the bohemian district of Berlin in the north of the city. Here the area is quieter and the buildings are less imposing. This area was restored and rehabilitated after the reunification and remains today one of the most pleasant districts of the capital, especially around Kollwitzplatz, with its pretty pavements full of flowers.

    There are many small shops, designer boutiques, pretty terraces and cafés where you can have a drink. A Berlin tour Guide takes you to the Berlin Wall Memorial, where the history of the separation of the two countries, the FRG and the GDR, is told over a distance of 1.5 kilometres.

  • Hackescher Markt

    Berlin - Hackescher Markt

    You will find at Hackescher Markt one of the most famous and pleasant shopping spots. It is a picturesque little square where all around there are many trendy clothing shops and local designers. This area is very close to the Museum Island and the Monbijou Park. It is also in this area that you will discover small inner courtyards called the Hackesche Höfe.

  • Alternative scene from the Kater Blau.

    Berlin - Kater Blau

    The trendy place of Kater Blau has replaced the old club of Kater Holzig. This is where the Berlin alternative scene meets the small open-air markets, biergarten (the typical German breweries) and clubs where you can dance to the music of the best DJs of the moment.

    Offbeat decoration and a wide variety of audiences. Everything is done to make it THE place to have fun and party, from Friday night until Monday night sometimes.

  • Charlottenburg Palace.

    Berlin - Château de Charlottenburg

    Step into Berlin’s largest palace—Schloss Charlottenburg. It was built on request of Queen Sophie-Charlotte, wife of King Frederick I of Prussia, sometime near the end of the 1600s. Back then, it was meant as a summer retreat. After the war, most of it had to be rebuilt. Carefully, stone by stone.

    Inside, it’s not subtle. Rococo everywhere. Gold-framed mirrors, silk tapestries, carved wood. Some of the pieces—delicate, impossibly ornate—came all the way from China. The old tea house? Now holds Berlin’s Royal Porcelain collection. And what used to be the theatre—transformed again—into a museum of prehistory and what came just before history had a name.
