Berlin is considered as one of the most beautiful and best value cities in Europe for tourism. Especially when you get to know the city and enjoy the hidden corners of a totally free package and becomes even more tempting. See below a list of free things you can do in Berlin.
Go to the top of the Reichstag
The Reichstag houses the German parliament and the access to the roof is free as long as you declare your visit time. The view of the city from above is one of the best it has to offer.
Stroll along the East Side Gallery
The East Side Gallery, a colorful monument to freedom lies close to the River Spree and is the largest remaining section of the Berlin Wall. More than 100 artists from around the world have left their mark on them, turning it into an open gallery, filled with colorful pronouncements in favor of peace and freedom.
Admire the architecture at the Museum Island
At the edge of the Spree Island there is a complex of five museums, which are UNESCO World Heritage. This is the Pergamon, Bode, Neues, Alte Nationalgalerie and Altes Museum. Entering these is not free, but you can admire the impressive architecture by taking a walk on the island.
Have a picnic at the park
People of Berlin love to inundate the city’s parks, especially in good weather and there they enjoy their beers accompanied by some snacks in an impromptu picnic. Why not do the same?
