Experience the atmosphere of the neighborhoods
The city is full of different neighborhoods, each with its own flair, charm and pace. Instead of hitting the typical sightseeing spots, stroll through the streets of the neighborhood where real life pulsates. Sit in a cafe from our guide, watch the people who live here and let the atmosphere inspire you. It is often the calm moments that convey the real feeling of a city. You can get an overview of the most beautiful neighborhoods in our Berlin Guide
Getting into conversation with locals
A city lives through its people. Be open to spontaneous conversations - even if our open, direct manner may put you off. We often don't mean it that way. Please don't mistake our brusque, sometimes provocative manner for rudeness. Berliners are warm and helpful, but in a different way. We can often tell you stories that no travel guide covers. Find out real stories and, if you dare, ask about our favorite places, how and where we like to spend our time or what the city means to us. Information like this is priceless.
Discover local markets and street artists
Spend a morning at a flea market, in the market hall or on a busy shopping street and immerse yourself in the atmosphere - you can find all this and much more in our city guides . In addition to helpful tips and experiences, you will also find honest places that make Berlin what it is. Here you can see the city through people's eyes and maybe discover an open-air event or a street artist whose performance means more to you than any material object. Take a video or photos so you don't forget such authentic moments.
Find moments of peace
Berlin is often hectic and loud. But it doesn't always have to be that way. Find a quiet spot - a park, a hidden corner by the water or a beautiful backyard. Here you can pause for a moment and take in the city in all its vastness. In our opinion, reflection is an essential part of traveling. It is often in the quiet moments that you realize what you have experienced in the last few hours.
Enjoy culinary experiences
Berlin without currywurst is impossible? (The best currywurst is also in our travel guide) Immerse yourself in the city's culinary diversity. Try authentic dishes that you don't know yet or that you've heard of before and immerse yourself in the local cuisine. And if it doesn't taste good, no one will be mad at you. This too will be an experience that will be firmly linked to the city in your mind and will provide funny stories to tell at home. Breakfast in a charming café, the best kebab in town or a romantic dinner can create memories that a souvenir can never replace. Our city guide offers the opportunity to have such experiences on your own, without us forcing anything on you.
Simply deviate from the plan
One of the most important tips: the best moments often arise when you are spontaneous. Walk through the streets without a goal in mind, discover small shops far from the main roads, charming cafes and hidden parks. Get off one stop early and walk the last few meters. These small discoveries lead to memories that are only due to your curiosity. They will become more firmly established as memories than any recommendation. Just do what you feel like doing, regardless of your plans for the day.
