Berlin, Germany
Things to do in Berlin
Everything in the Atlas for Berlin: places to see and things to do, in one list.
Museumsinsel
Five museums on one island in the Spree, holding the Pergamon altar, the bust of Nefertiti and enough classical sculpture to make a day feel short.
East Side Gallery
The longest surviving stretch of the Wall, 1.3 km of it, painted by artists from twenty-one countries in 1990 and repainted since as the originals weathered.
Brandenburg Gate
Prussian triumphal arch, then a gate nobody could pass through for twenty-eight years, and now the place every photograph of the city is taken from.
Tempelhofer Feld
A closed airport turned into a park, and the runways were left. Berliners cycle, skate and barbecue on a 300-hectare field where planes landed until 2008.
The Wall, where it stood
Bernauer Straße preserves the death strip, the tunnels and the names — an hour that does what no film manages.
Cycle the runways at Tempelhof
Two 2,000-metre runways, open to anyone, kept deliberately empty by referendum.
This page exists because Berlin has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from. Back to Berlin.
