Berlin has numerous neighborhoods where it's a joy to simply stroll around, observing your surroundings, capturing photos of charming old houses, and indulging in ice cream from street vendors. Here are just a few such places worthy of your attention.
Start your walking route in Berlin from the Palace Square, cross the Spree River, pass by the Reichstag building (where the German Historical Museum is located), the Berlin Cathedral, and Humboldt University. This pedestrian route through Berlin concludes at the Brandenburg Gate, the main symbol of German reunification.
Museum Island, as it is called, refers to the northern part of the Spreeinsel Island on the Spree River. Dedicate at least one day to explore the tourist route in this part of Berlin.
Friedrichshain
There are numerous museums here, including the Pergamon Museum (home to the legendary Pergamon Altar, a monument of Hellenistic art from the 2nd century BCE), the National Gallery, the Bode Museum, and more. It's an excellent place to relax - if you get tired of museum-hopping, take a break on one of the green lawns or in the chestnut grove.
The third walking route in Berlin can be dedicated to the beloved district of the local creative youth - Friedrichshain. This former East Berlin neighborhood offers a mix of Turkish street culture, trendy German artists, and a vibrant atmosphere. Among the main attractions are the flea markets at Boxhagener Platz and Revalerstrasse, a constellation of bars and cafes, and the Fountain of Fairy Tales in the main park.
