Planning Tips

📆 Best Time To Visit

Berlin is most enjoyable during late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October) when temperatures are mild and outdoor cafes are bustling. Summer brings festivals and warm weather but larger crowds, while winter offers magical Christmas markets and cultural events despite colder temperatures.

💰 Average Daily Budget

A couple can expect to spend around €150-180/day (2025), including mid-range hotel accommodation, meals, public transportation, and museum entries. This can vary significantly depending on accommodation choices and activities.

🍽️ Must-Try Foods

Sample Berlin's iconic street food like Currywurst (curry-spiced sausage) and Döner Kebab, which was popularized in Berlin. Don't miss traditional German dishes like Schnitzel, Eisbein (pork knuckle), and the city's famous Turkish-influenced culinary scene.

🍻 Local Drinks

Berlin's craft beer scene is thriving, with numerous local breweries and beer gardens. Try traditional German wheat beers and pilsners, along with the city's signature drink "Berliner Weisse" - a sour wheat beer often served with flavored syrups. The city also has a growing natural wine scene and creative cocktail bars.

📸 Must-See Views

Explore historic sites like the East Side Gallery (Berlin Wall), Brandenburg Gate, and Checkpoint Charlie. Visit Museum Island's world-class museums, experience the Reichstag Building's glass dome, and enjoy the vibrant street art scene in neighborhoods like Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg. Visit Potsdam for fairytale-like palaces.
