Video Description

There are a lot of cool things to do in Berlin, but which are actually worth your time? That's exactly what I'm covering in this video – the experiences that will give you the REAL Berlin, not just the tourist traps 🤝 Berlin is unlike any other European capital. It's not traditionally "pretty" like Paris or Rome – instead, it's raw, fascinating, and unique. I used to live in Berlin and worked as a tour guide here, so I know this city inside and out. In this video, I'm sharing the best things to do in Berlin – from the famous landmarks everyone needs to see to the quirky local spots that most tourists completely miss 😎 Berlin's history is everywhere you look. You'll walk past remnants of the Berlin Wall, stand where East met West during the Cold War, and see how the city confronts its difficult past head-on. But it's not all heavy history – Berlin also has incredible food, amazing parks, vibrant neighbourhoods, and that famous alternative culture that makes it feel so different from the rest of Germany. Berlin is massive, and each area has its own personality. You need to explore beyond just one neighbourhood to really understand what makes this city special. From Prenzlauer Berg to Kreuzberg to Friedrichshain – every corner tells a different story. So if you're planning a trip to Berlin and want to experience the REAL city – not just the tourist traps – this is your guide. These are the things to do in Berlin that will give you an authentic taste of what makes this place so incredible. *Links mentioned in the video:* 🟢 Humboldt Forum Roof Terrace: https://www.humboldtforum.org/en/programm/dauerangebot/must-see-en/roof-terrace-34465/ 🟢 Berlin Welcome Card: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/berlinwelcomecardyt 🟢 TV Tower Ticket: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/berlintvtoweryt 🟢 Reichstag Dome Access: https://www.bundestag.de/en/visittheBundestag/dome/registration-245686 🟢 Reichstag Guided Tour: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/berlinreichstagtour-yt 🟢 Berlin Boat Tours: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/berlinboattour-yt 🟢 Museum Island Multiple Museum Entry Ticket: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/museumislandberlinyt 🟢 Olympia Entrance: Ticket https://destinationwellknown.com/link/olympiaberlinyt *🏨 Hotels in Berlin I recommend:* 💸💸💸 Adlon Kempinski: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/adlonkempinski-yt 💸💸 Pullman Berlin Schweizerhof: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/pullmanberlin-yt 💸💸 NH Collection Friedrichstrasse: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/nhcollectionfrstrasse-yt 💸 Leonardo Hotel Berlin Mitte: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/leonardoberlinmitte-yt *More Berlin Travel Tips:* Where to Stay in Berlin + Hotel recommendations: https://destinationwellknown.com/where-to-stay-berlin/ How to get from Berlin Airport to City Centre: https://destinationwellknown.com/berlin-airport-to-city-centre/ Written guide on 29 things to do in Berlin: https://destinationwellknown.com/things-to-do-berlin/ All my Berlin Travel Guides: https://destinationwellknown.com/germany/berlin/ Bonus: one of the most impactful things I’ve ever done in Berlin was to visit the former Stasi Prison in Hohenschönhausen. It’s a wild experience and the guides are (almost all) former inmates, so it’s a very “in your face” way to hear about the horrors that were going on in East Germany only a couple of years ago. 🎥 Watch all my Berlin videos here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGm6v6pLs9hkNRjEwupCPMbv3AEmJSq6C&si=YXQMOdN20Uscg5Tm timestamps: 00:00 Humboldt Forum Rooftop Terrace 00:47 Eat Proper German Food 01:15 The Berliner Späti Experience 01:51 The TV Tower 02:21 The Berlin Wall 03:06 Eat International Food 03:37 Explore Berlin's Neighbourhoods 04:21 Explore RAW Gelände 05:02 The Brandenburg Gate 05:32 Reichstag 06:10 Club Mate (Berlin's Favourite Non-Alc Drink) 06:54 Boat Tour on the Spree River 07:24 Checkpoint Charlie & Topography of Terror 08:04 Berlin Brunch 08:24 Berlin Cathedral 08:46 Museum Island 09:14 Berlin Zoo 09:34 Kaiser Wilhelm Church Memorial 09:56 Olympia 10:24 Try Currywurst 10:54 Biergarten *_Are you new here?_* 👀 Howdy!
