Overview of Berlin

Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany. It is located in the northeastern part of the country and is home to over 3.7 million people. Berlin has a rich history, having been the capital of Germany during both World War I and World War II. 

After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the city underwent a period of rapid transformation and is now known for its vibrant culture, diverse neighbourhoods, and world-class museums.

If you ask me, there are gorgeous cities in Europe such as Prague, and Paris or cities with thousands of years of history such as Athens or Rome. Berlin isn’t that.

But Berlin is a unique and fascinating place with historical events that happened in our lifetime (well for some). I didn’t love Berlin the first time I visited on a cold November day, because I had no plan or itinerary and frankly I didn’t know anything about the city. After returning to Berlin over the years I saw Berlin in a different light. I wrote this Berlin itinerary for 2 days to help you have the best time in Berlin during your visit.

So let’s get started with this Berlin Itinerary so you can start planning.

Day One of your 2 days in Berlin Itinerary:

This itinerary is created so that you can do it on your own and independently, but I highly recommend starting the day with this 3rd Reich Walking Tour of Berlin.

Not only will it cover some of the places mentioned below, but you will also get a much better understanding of Berlin’s history, the Berlin Wall, and WW2 events that shaped the city. 

Brandenburg Gate

Start your day by visiting the Brandenburg Gate, which is one of the most iconic symbols of Berlin. This neoclassical monument was built in the 18th century and has played a significant role in the history of Berlin. The gate was originally designed to be a part of a larger wall that surrounded the city of Berlin, but it was never completed.

When Berlin was a divided city by the Berlin Wall (1962-1989), the Brandenburg Gate stood in the no-mans land and didn’t belong to East or West Berlin.

It naturally became a symbol of reunification. It was also the site of the famous “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech by President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
