Plan your journey from Berlin Tegel Airport
From Berlin Tegel Airport (via Saatwinkler Damm) it’s just a 25-minute drive to the city, where a wealth of fascinating sights awaits. Whether you’re in the mood for entertainment, culture or fine dining, Berlin has something to please you.
Start your sightseeing excursion at Berlin Cathedral. With its impressive dome, this charming structure in the northern section of Museum Island is a definite must-see.
As the name suggests, the cultural hub is home to many of the city’s museums and galleries. The Altes Museum (Museum of the Ancient World) exhibits a number of interesting displays, including a fascinating collection of classical antiquities. Art lovers should head to Alte Nationalgalerie (the Old National Gallery), showcasing an expansive collection of artworks from the 18th and 19th century.
Charlottenburg Palace (also referred to as the Old Palace) is also worth adding to your must-see list. Originally built as a summer residence for the first queen of Prussia, it’s an incredibly impressive building both inside and out.
For a birds-eye view of this spectacular city, head to one of its most famous landmarks: the Berlin Television Tower. Opened in 1969, it attracts millions of visitors each year who flock to the observation deck (200m above ground) to check out the impressive panorama of this ever-changing metropolis.
A visit to the East Side Gallery – the largest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall – is a must while you’re here, as is a visit to the emblematic Brandenburg Gate.
When the hustle and bustle of city life gets too much, take a break and head to Volkspark Friedrichshain – Berlin’s oldest municipal park boasting vast grounds popular with tourists and locals.
