About Berlin

Berlin is a city of districts, so pick two or three and go deep. Mitte has Museum Island and the big landmarks, Kreuzberg brings Turkish bakeries, street food at Markthalle Neun and evenings along the Landwehr Canal, and Prenzlauer Berg offers quieter cobbled streets and the Sunday flea market at Mauerpark. Walk or cycle the runways of Tempelhofer Feld, trace the Wall at the East Side Gallery, and do as locals do: a cold drink from a Späti on a summer night.

Best time: May–September
