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, brusque manner may put you off. We often don't mean it that way. Please don't mistake our brusque, direct manner for rudeness. Berliners are warm and helpful, but in a different way. Have fun exploring. Locals can often tell you stories that no travel guide covers. Find out real stories and, if you dare, ask about their favorite places, how and where they like to spend their time or what the city means to them. Such information is priceless.

Discover local markets and street artists

Spend a morning at a flea market, in a market hall or on a busy shopping street and immerse yourself in the atmosphere - all available in our city guides. In addition to helpful tips and experiences, you will also find honest reports and stories from Berlin. Here you will discover the city through the eyes of the locals and perhaps 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 the quiet moments when you can breathe deeply that make you think.

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 discover such experiences on your own without giving too much away.

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. 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.
