Your first weekend in Berlin

For your first visit, prioritise a well-connected location over a long list of hotel facilities. Mitte works for many classic sights; Charlottenburg offers a different atmosphere.
Plan one connected area per day. Museum Island, Unter den Linden and Brandenburg Gate can form one route. Keep the second day for a different neighbourhood.
Check museum hours and any tickets in advance. Avoid a packed schedule: cafés, courtyards and spontaneous detours are part of the experience.
