Berlin is not only the most visited city in Germany, but it is also the third most visited place in Europe. A quickly growing tourist destination, it fascinates everyone from history buffs and art lovers to architecture aficionados and underground clubbers. Wherever you go, you experience the pulsating life of Berlin in its over 170 museums and art galleries, 300 clubs, and 7,000 bars and restaurants—many of which are open around the clock.
Things to Do
Karl Scheffler described Berlin as a city "condemned forever to become and never to be." It is a restless place, never content to stay still, and is always changing. From crossing through the Brandenburger Gate—one of Berlin's most iconic landmarks—to sampling some of the city's famed nightlife, there are enough things to do in the city to keep a visitor occupied for a lifetime. But if you have just two days in Berlin, follow this 48-hour itinerary to discover the best the city has to offer.
As a top destination in Germany, Berlin offers a wide array of accommodation ranging from 5-star hotels to funky hostels. While many people choose to stay in the center, in Mitte, the city's superb public transport means everywhere is easily accessible. To get a local's view of the city, consider staying in trendy neighborhoods like Kreuzberg, Neukölln, and Prenzlauer Berg.
Your Packing List
Summer temperatures are pleasantly warm between 65 to 75 degrees F, but can be humid and spike up to 100 degrees F. You'll want lightweight, breathable clothing, such as maxi dresses, comfy sandals or flats, short-sleeved shirts, and linen or cotton pants.
During the months of October through February, El Salvador's Ruta de las Flores, or "Route of Flowers," bursts to life with wildflowers in bright shades of pink, red, and purple—although this 22-mile mountainous route has plenty to offer the rest of the year, too. Beginning 46 miles west of San Salvador in the town of Nahuizalco, the Ruta de las Flores winds its way past coffee farms and through picturesque villages, providing spectacular views as it goes.
