Hotel Amano Eastside

Otel

We stayed in this great hotel, which is very close to Eastside gallery. Even though it is a 3 stars hotel it was offering more than that. We paid 250 Euros for a double room for 2 nights of stay. Location wise it’s very close to the center only 20 minutes with regional trains. They also offer a breakfast for 18 Euros which was quite expensive for us, so we did not try. The hotel also has a roof bar at the top floor. it is a great atmosphere and a lot of international people come to the roof bar. The prices are very affordable. Long drinks are €12 and every shot is €4.

St. Thomas Church, Berlin

Manzara

We saw this church couple of times when we were walking around Kreuzberg. We didn’t go inside, but it looks good.

Markthalle Neun

Gizli Yerler

Berlin once boasted 14 market halls, with Markthalle Neun being the ninth opened (the name literally translates to “Market Hall Nine”). Eight of the former covered markets were destroyed in WWII, and Markthalle Neun is one of four that are still in operation. Markthalle Neun is packed every time I go to do some shopping or grab a quick bite to eat — but the market hall hasn’t always been that fortunate. Following WWII, Markthalle Neun managed to remain in operation but by the 1970s it was struggling to compete with discount grocery chains like Aldi. The Markthalle lost its last local vendor in 2003 and was essentially dead. Thankfully, the market received new funding and was effectively revived in 2011 and has remained a popular meeting place in the city ever since! Markthalle Neun is open Monday through Saturday, with a few notable events happening each week: Thursdays: Street Food Thursdays. A fun way to sample street food from all over the world! Fridays and Saturdays: when the weekly market takes place; fresh fruit and vegetables, handmade breads and cheeses, plus locally produced honey and spices are always for sale. Quarterly: Naschmarkt, aka a “snack market” selling all things sweet, savory, and snacky. Get excited to try handmade cannoli, chocolates, honey, sausages, and more! Check the Markthalle Neun website to see when the next Naschmarkt is taking place.

Kaffee 9

Kafe

This is a great coffee shop, which offers very cheap and delicious cappuccinos. It is just outside of the Markethalle Neun.

Oberbaumbrücke

Mutlaka Görülmeli

The Oberbaum Bridge crosses the Spree River and connects the former East and West portions of Berlin. This bridge served as a popular crossover point for westerners trying to enter East Berlin. Take a good look at the red brick bridge and try to imagine armed guards patrolling it on either bank; it’s hard to imagine, isn’t it? In the spring, cherry blossoms trees bloom on both banks to symbolize peace in reunified Berlin. While crossing the Oberbaum Bridge, you’ll notice that it’s split into two levels. The subway passes over the top portion of the bridge, while cars and pedestrians cross at the lower level (don’t worry, there’s a separate pedestrian walkway!). Be sure to stop halfway along the bridge to admire the Spree River. At this point, you’re straddling the line between the neighborhoods of Friedrichshain (with the East Side Gallery) and Kreuzberg!

East Side Gallery

Sanat

The East Side Gallery is another of Berlin’s most famous attractions. It’s the largest remaining section of the Berlin Wall, and it’s now the longest open-air gallery in the world. Moreover, it’s a living gallery that’s constantly being updated by talented street artists. It’s easy to forget that something so beautiful was once a tool of imprisonment used by the Soviet government. It’s estimated that 100,000 citizens of East Germany tried to cross the Berlin Wall between 1961 and 1988 — of those, 600 people were either killed by the border guards or died by other means while trying to escape. The East Side Gallery is a unique platform for street artists to display their skills, but it’s also a reminder of the Cold War and its lasting effects on the city.

EINSTEIN KAFFEE am Mercedes Platz

Kafe

It seems like a very expensive place because it’s just next to the east side gallery. However, the coffee is great. Also, the lemon cupcake was delicious. We paid €12.30 for 1 Venti Latte, 1 Grande Cappuccino and a Lemon Cupcake 🧁

Molecule Man

Insta Spot

You can see the statue from mostly every central bridge. One of the best spots in Berlin

Hasir Ocakbaşı

Restoran

If you haven’t tried Turkish cuisine, this is the best place to do it in whole, Germany. Display is so good that they expended and open three more shops all around Berlin in the last five years. When you go there you should eat Iskender Kebap. The price is 19 Euros. It’s gonna look little bit expensive but trust me it’s one of the best foods you will eat ever in your life.

Reichstag Building

Manzara

The Reichstag Fire of 1933 was used by the Nazi party to claim that communists were planning to overthrow the German government. The constitutional act that resulted from this claim effectively allowed the Nazi party to gain momentum and take control of the country. When the Reichstag dome was rebuilt in the 1990s, it was decided to build the structure out of glass. The glass dome represents Germany’s desire to move away from its Nazi past and move towards a future of unity and democracy. I recommend ending your first day in Berlin with a tour of the Reichstag. Tickets are free, but you have to book them in advance. You must also bring an internationally-recognized form of ID with you, such as a passport. A tour of the Reichstag includes access to the glass dome as well as a free audio guide that details the history of the buildings and Germany’s parliament.

Brandenburg Gate

Restoran

The Brandenburg Gate is one of the most iconic sites in all of Germany. It’s a symbol of unity in Berlin and many key moments in German history have occurred here. US President Ronald Regan uttered the words “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” in front of the gate in 1987, and during the Cold War there was a viewing platform here from which visitors to West Berlin could get a glimpse of the East. What was once a mere gateway meant to impress visitors to Berlin’s famous Unter den Linden boulevard has become so much more since its completion in 1791.

Tiergarten

Orman

From Checkpoint Charlie, it’s a 15- to 20-minute walk to the park. It’s a huge park with lovely meadows, statues, memorials, manicured gardens, and ponds scattered throughout — don’t feel like you need to see it all! Find a shady spot under a tree or nab a free bench and relax. Like all of the attractions mentioned in this itinerary, the Tiergarten has an interesting history. It was originally the royal hunting ground for King Friedrich III but was opened to the public in the 1830s. After WWII, the trees in the park were felled to use for fuel during a coal shortage.

Sohnemann Bar

Restoran

We sat here to try out cocktails 🍸 great place, normal prices and nice atmosphere

Protokoll Taproom

You dan try the best beers in this bar! Great place 🙌

Alexanderplatz

Meşhur

Alexanderplatz is the starting point of this three-day Berlin itinerary. It’s the beating heart of the city center and is home to one of Berlin’s most famous sights — the TV Tower. When you exit the subway station and begin your explorations around Alexanderplatz, know in advance that it’s not a pretty place. However, it’s one of the most historically important areas of the whole city! You see, Alexanderplatz served as the center of East Berlin during the Soviet occupation in the Cold War era. The remnants of that no-nonsense, low-cost style of architecture can still be seen in and around Alexanderplatz to this day.

World Time Clock

Mutlaka Görülmeli

The 24 time zones of the world are represented on the clock. After it was restored post-Cold War, some of the cities had to be removed or rearranged because they’d been listed under the wrong time zones!

Berliner Fernsehturm

Meşhur

A breathtaking 360° view of the city awaits you from 203 meters in the Berlin TV tower! Once in the city, Berlin's Fernsehturm will soon be noticed. With a height of 368 meters (1207 feet) this is by far the tallest building in the city. As with all the impressive buildings in the German capital, there is also a unique story here. Today, the TV tower of Berlin is a public attraction. Visiting the TV tower needs a moderate feed ticket according to your type of visit such as restaurant or observation sphere and, it is available on:

Rotes Rathaus

Manzara

A stunning red brick building that still serves as Berlin’s city hall. You can visit for free from Monday to Friday between 9am and 6pm.

Fonte de Neptuno

Park

Roma mitolojisindeki Su ve Deniz Tanrısı Neptün'ü tasvir eden çeşmenin etrafındaki 4 kadın Prusya'nın ana nehirlerini temsil eder.

St. Mary's Church

Manzara

Redbrick Gothic church for Protestant services, home to the Dance of Death fresco painted in 1485.

Marx-Engels-Forum

Meşhur

Imposing statue paying tribute to Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels, the forefathers of communism.

Berliner Dom

Kilise

You can’t see all of the amazing things Berlin has to offer in just three days, so you’re going to make some tough choices on day 1. After exploring Museum Island (and possibly going into one of the museums!) you can either visit the Berlin Cathedral OR the Humboldt Forum. Berlin Cathedral: Costs 10 Euros to enter, which includes entrance to the nave, the Hohenzollern crypt beneath the church (currently closed for renovations), a small exhibit on the first floor detailing the architectural plans of the church, and a view of Berlin from the top of the church. You need about an hour to 90 minutes to see the entire church and climb the dome for that epic view. Humboldt Forum: Free to enter the museum space, but the rooftop terrace costs 3 Euros if you want to see the view of the Cathedral, Lustgarten, Unter den Linden, and the TV tower. You don’t have to stay and look through the exhibitions at the Humboldt Forum if you don’t want to! But just so you know what’s here, the top two floors house exhibitions on the history of Africa, Oceania, Asia, and the Americas and are explained through the lens of colonialism and its lasting impact on each region.

Altes Museum

Müze

We did not find a chance to go inside however, the building is great. Just next to the Berliner Dom.

Lustgarten

Park

Whether you have 24 or 72 hours in Berlin, no trip to the city is complete without a visit to Museum Island. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site that’s home to five world-renowned museums. You can spend a full day going through the museums on Museum Island – there’s 5, after all! However, with only 3 days in Berlin you’ll have to be picky about which museum you visit – if you decide to visit any at all. I suggest picking one museum and spending about 2 hours inside. Even if you don’t have the time or desire to visit a museum, you should still visit Museum Island to enjoy the architecture. While you’re there, find a spot to lay out on the grass in front of the Cathedral (called the Lustgarten).

Schloßplatz

Manzara

Here you will see the Humboldt forum to get with other great buildings.

WrapMe

Restoran

This place is just next to Berliner Dom. It is a very lower review on Google, but the food was affordable and delicious.

Neue Wache

Mutlaka Görülmeli

War remembrance building restored after World War II bombings with haunting central sculpture.

Bebelplatz

Mutlaka Görülmeli

Bounded by the opera & university buildings, a public square with a memorial to Nazi book burning.

Unter den Linden

Restoran

Unter den Linden is a can’t-miss attraction in Berlin! The wide boulevard is lined with linden trees (hence the name), which are associated with Freya, the Germanic goddess of truth and love. Unter den Linden initially connected the royal palace (now Museum Island) to the royal hunting grounds (Tiergarten Park, also on this itinerary!) in the 15th century. Under Frederick the Great, the road was transformed into a boulevard comparable to the Champs-Elysee in Paris. The linden trees you’ll pass on your walk from the Museum Island area to the Brandenburg Gate date back to the 1950s. The trees that had lined the boulevard before World War II were cut down by the Nazis either to make way for a new tram line, or to use as firewood. You can easily walk along Unter den Linden to the Brandenburg Gate. From the Cathedral, the boulevard is roughly 1.5 kilometers long and you’ll need about 30 minutes to reach the gate. Along the way, keep an eye out for: The impressive equestrian statue of Frederick the Great Staatsoper (Royal Opera House) Humboldt University Bebelplatz (with its memorial to the Nazi book burnings) Neue Wache (it looks like a church, but it’s a memorial to the victims of war and dictatorship) German History Museum (housed in the former arsenal building) … and more!

Holocaust Memorial

Meşhur

A short walk from the Brandenburg Gate is The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The memorial is a sobering reminder of the millions of Jews who lost their lives under the oppressive Nazi regime. The memorial is made up of 2,711 concrete slabs spanning 19,000 square meters. As you wind your way further around the maze of concrete slabs, the ground dips slightly below you and it feels like the concrete is rising up to suffocate you. This effect was intentional and is meant to encourage reflection.

Adana Grillhaus

Restoran

This is the highest ranked Turkish restaurant in Berlin. We really enjoyed the food however it’s very expensive.

Checkpoint Charlie

Tarihi

In October 1961, Checkpoint Charlie was the site of a tank standoff between American and Soviet troops. In total, the confrontation lasted for 16 hours — during which time people genuinely worried that World War III was about to begin.
