City trip Berlin

You can also discover Berlin beautifully by bike. The outer districts and especially tours through the forests and along the water are ideal for a bike tour. But this route is also great for hiking!

About 4 million people left the GDR between 1949 and 1990. 1.35 million arrived at the Marienfelde refugee camp. This is where their journey out of the GDR ended and their journey into a new life began.

Berlin-Nikolassee, directly on the Krummes Fenn landscape conservation area lies the Düppel Museum Village. Here, visitors can experience life as it was in the region in the Middle Ages.

I am a Berliner - I was born here and grew up with the Berlin Wall, experienced the fall of the Wall and the growing together of the city. After years, I now went to the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Strasse for the first time.

About halfway between the Brandenburg Gate and Potsdamer Platz is the "Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe" or "Holocaust Memorial". It's a place you have to see and an exhibition that took me away emotionally.

Viewpoints are simply the highlight of every city discovery for me. So a visit to the Panorama Point at Potsdamer Platz was just the thing for me.

Berlin has many places that inspire me. One of the most beautiful squares in the city is probably the Gendarmenmarkt. The buildings on the square are really impressive and I keep discovering details that I haven't seen before.

Berlin, Open Monument Day 2018 - and I finally have time to join one of the free guided tours. In the program, a guided tour to a place that I would not have seen as a monument jumps into my eye.

I admit it, a tour of a crematorium sounds strange at first until you learn what is in the building today.

This article begins with …once upon a time… and ends with a big question mark. Once upon a time, the Siemensstadt S-Bahn ran from Jungfernheide station to Haselhorst. It's not that long ago that even my parents still drove this route to school and university every day and countless Siemens workers used this route every…

Berlin is so wonderfully diverse and offers interesting excursion options that we, as Berliners, are only gradually discovering. We went on a discovery trip to the Old Malt House of the Schultheiss Brewery.

Berlin Reinickendorf - one of the most popular destinations in the district, the Greenwich Promenade, is located on the banks of Lake Tegler. For us, it is one of the local recreation areas that we visit more often and enjoy during a walk.

on the way in the large housing estate Siemensstadt I've been living in Siemensstadt for over 25 years now, but I haven't really paid much attention to the architectural history of my neighborhood. Sure, I have seen tourist groups walking along here from time to time and I also know the signs on some rows…

For me, one of the perfect places to relax in any season is the Volkspark Jungfernheide in Siemensstadt. Not only do you find quiet corners here, but the experience factor is also taken care of.

As a Berliner, you know the Spree - or so you think… A walk along the Spree is pure relaxation.

Berlin is greener than you might think. This is due to the countless parks and green spaces that can be found throughout the city. We took a closer look at the Volkspark Rehberge in Wedding.

In the district of Charlottenburg stands one of the most beautiful palaces in Berlin. We took a little walk around the palace and enjoyed the beautiful weather in the palace park.

Berlin also has mountains, you might hardly believe it. Besides the most famous mountain, the Teufelsberg, there is the Hahneberg in the district of Spandau.

Directly opposite the Prenzlauer Allee S-Bahn station is the Zeiss Grossplanetarium. I walked past here for almost a year when I went to one of my numerous children's sports classes and never discovered the Ernst Thälmann Park behind it.

Abandoned on Teufelsberg in Grunewald, the former US radar and listening station Teufelsberg. Today, only dilapidated buildings remain as reminders of an eventful piece of history in Berlin.

It is Sunday at around lunchtime – time to go for a walk – time to go to the visitor’s deck of Tegel Airport. At Tegel Airport guests can observe aeroplanes for hours from the visitor’s deck.

In the fall, a hike took us from Lübars in Berlin across the state border into Brandenburg's Mühlenbecker Land region and back to Lübars. The route was almost 16 kilometers long, but can certainly be shortened or extended.

The best way to find out where Berlin's coldest point is is to ask the meteorologists - or look at the Berlin city map and search for a name that actually reveals exactly that it must be particularly cold here - Eiskeller (ice cellar).

A steamboat trip in Berlin is simply part of every visit to Berlin. But a steamboat trip in Berlin is also a wonderful way for us Berliners to relax.

We were out and about for you in Berlin and tried out a dreamy place for a few relaxing hours.

Nestled between houses in Berlin-Mitte is an enchanted place that only reveals its history when you take a closer look. This is the site of the Old Jewish Cemetery.

A rather unknown cemetery lies on the eastern shore of Plötzensee. Rather by chance, I passed the Plötzensee cemetery in Wedding on a bicycle tour and decided to walk through the park-like grounds.

Our tour through Berlin led us to the Soviet Memorial in the Tiergarten, which is located directly on the Straße des 17.Juni, less than 300 meters from the Reichstag.

I love to discover Berlin. Unfortunately, one often takes far too little time for his hometown and in addition Berlin is not exactly small. Since you are often with the public transport, especially from my home district Spandau, quickly times an hour on the road until you reach the desired destination. The Treptower Park is…

A new exciting adventure with the great master detective Sherlock Holmes lured us to the Escape Room Berlin. Was it going to be just as exciting as the other games we had played so far?

In a side street of the Kurfürstendamm in the heart of Berlin is Ben Blu's illusion theatre. It was rather by chance that we became aware of the illusion show in Berlin and spent a magical evening here.

One of the city's most unusual museums is located in the middle of Berlin, where everything revolves around the topic of disgust. The Disgusting Food Museum Berlin wants to show visitors the world of disgust in all its different facets. And who knows, maybe you'll find out that not everything is disgusting after all…

Shortly before 10 am, Holger our guide for the tour "Soviet Berlin II - Through the Red Metropolis" of Berlins Taiga was already waiting for us at the main station. With him, we should go on a discovery tour through Berlin in the next 4 hours and immerse ourselves in the time of the end…

Directly in front of Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin, a Christmas market has been held in the run-up to Christmas for several years. Against the historic backdrop of the palace, you can stroll through the Christmas stalls here every year from the end of November until the end of December.

The Christmas market at Johannisstift in Spandau traditionally takes place on the 1st Sunday of Advent.

The Christmas market around the Gedächniskirche has existed for 35 years. For us, a visit to precisely this Christmas market has been a traditional part of the Christmas season for years.

There are countless Christmas markets in Berlin, in fact you can immerse yourself in the Christmas feeling on almost every corner in December. During our tour of the city, we also took a look at the Christmas market at the Rotes Rathaus.
