Best months: May, June, July, August and September.

What to see in Berlin

1. Brandenburger Tor
   The Brandenburg Gate is both a neoclassical triumphal arch and the place where Berlin's history is easiest to read: split in two by the Wall for decades, it now opens onto a reunified city.
2. Museumsinsel (Pergamon)
   The Pergamonmuseum is one of the world's great archaeology museums, where you walk at full scale through reconstructed ancient architecture and get a physical sense of antiquity that few display cases can give.
3. East Side Gallery
   This is the longest stretch of the Berlin Wall still standing, turned into an open-air gallery by artists from around the world after the wall fell.
4. Reichstag
   The Reichstag is the seat of the Bundestag, and its turbulent history shows in both its stone and its glass.
5. Tiergarten
   The Tiergarten is the great green lung of central Berlin, a former hunting ground turned park where you can go from city noise to quiet woodland and ponds within minutes.
6. Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer
   This is the place where the border becomes easiest to understand: a stretch of the border strip has been preserved along Bernauer Straße, with both walls and the empty ground between them.
7. Markthalle Neun
   This neighbourhood market hall in Kreuzberg brings together regional producers, food artisans and locals.
8. Mustafa's Gemüse Kebap
   Mustafa's has become a Kreuzberg institution: people come for its vegetarian kebab, grilled to order, in a simple counter setting where the food is quick and good.
