What to do in Berlin

Berlin, the capital of Germany, offers a unique blend of culture, history and modern attractions. From the iconic Berlin Wall to the impressive Olympiastadion. This vibrant city has something special for every visitor. Discover below some of the highlights you absolutely should not miss during your visit to Berlin.

Sights of Berlin

Berlin, a city of contrasts, combines a rich history with a vibrant culture. The Berlin Wall is an iconic starting point for any exploration: the colorful murals of the East Side Gallery tell stories of freedom and reconciliation. At Checkpoint Charlie, dive deeper into the past, with exhibits on the Cold War and daring escape attempts.

Another historical highlight is the Olympiastadion, which has not only been an architectural icon since the 1936 Olympics, but also provides the setting for tours of its glorious past. The nearby Brandenburg Gate, symbol of German unity, and the Berlin Cathedral with its magnificent view of the city, are equally impressive.

Finally, the TV Tower and Berlin Zoo are perfect for panoramic views or a relaxing day out with family. Whether you dive into history, seek adventure or want to experience the Berlin atmosphere - the city welcomes you.

Hotel Berlin

Berlin offers a wide range of hotels. In the city center, hotels tend to be a bit pricier due to their central location near attractions and popular neighborhoods. Also, in most cases you need to consider parking fees, as parking in the city is often paid. For a more economical option, consider a hotel just outside the city center, where rates are often lower and there are sometimes even free parking options. Like at Van der Valk Hotel Berlin Brandenburg. Here you can park for free and are equipped with a Fastned fast-charging station and 20 Tesla superchargers.

Van der Valk Berlin

Van der Valk Hotel Berlin Brandenburg is an excellent choice for a relaxing stay with various amenities for a comfortable visit. Explore the surroundings in an active way thanks to the bicycles that can be rented directly at the hotel. After a day of exploration, relax in the hotel pool or enjoy a drink in the cozy hotel bar. For a sumptuous dinner, visit the restaurant, which serves a diverse menu. Hotel Berlin Brandenburg offers everything for a pleasant and relaxing stay.

How many days do you need for Berlin?

A stay of three to four days gives you enough time to explore the highlights of Berlin. This allows you to visit the main attractions, such as the Berlin Wall, museums, and the Olympia Stadium, while also taking time to enjoy the local culture and cuisine. For a more extensive visit, also exploring surrounding neighborhoods and lesser-known spots, consider staying five days.
