Day 1
- Mitte and the Berlin Wall (Brandenburg Gate)
Start at Brandenburg Gate, then visit the Reichstag dome (free, but register online in advance), the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, and Checkpoint Charlie. The free Topography of Terror exhibition sits along the route. End at the East Side Gallery, the longest surviving stretch of the Wall, around golden hour.
Day 2
- Museum Island and the Spree (Museum Island)
Pick one or two museums on Museum Island: the Neues Museum holds the bust of Nefertiti, and the Pergamon Panorama recreates the ancient city while the main Pergamon building is under long-term renovation. Then walk along the Spree past Berlin Cathedral to the old lanes of the Nikolaiviertel. Tip: a Museum Island area ticket covers every museum there and pays off after two visits.
Day 3
- Kreuzberg and Neukolln (Kreuzberg)
Eat your way through Markthalle Neun (Thursday evenings are Street Food Thursday), follow the Landwehr Canal to Maybachufer and its Turkish market on Tuesdays and Fridays, then walk or bike across Tempelhofer Feld, the former airport that is now a park. Tip: many small cafes and bars here still prefer cash.
