Here, historic sites meet innovative start-ups, classic museums meet street art, and international cuisine meets quaint Berlin pubs. Let yourself be infected by the energy of this city and discover why Berlin is always worth a visit on your next trip!
Top sights and activities for 3 days in Berlin
Three days in Berlin – that’s 72 hours packed with history, culture and modern joie de vivre! Germany’s capital has so much to offer that it can be difficult to choose your personal highlights. But with the right tips, a short trip can be unforgettable, so here are our recommendations.
On your first day, head straight for Berlin’s most striking landmark, the Brandenburg Gate. This symbol of unity and freedom is impressive not only for its architecture but also for the eventful history that surrounds it. Afterwards, it’s worth taking a walk along the former border, either along the Spree through the government district or towards Potsdamer Platz and from there to Checkpoint Charlie. Visiting the Berlin Wall is a moving experience, and if you want to learn more about it, you should include a visit to the museum on Bernauer Strasse. The remains of the former wall at the East Side Gallery are particularly impressive, with their colourful works of art that are world-famous.
Berlin in 3 nights – there’s more to come
Art and culture lovers should definitely make a detour to the Picture Gallery near Potsdamer Platz or straight to Museum Island, where they can visit the Old National Gallery, among other things. Our best Museum Island tip: allow plenty of time and choose two or three museums with a combination ticket, for example the Pergamon Museum (The Panorama) or the New Museum with the famous bust of Nefertiti – both are absolute must-sees in Berlin!
Use your 72 hours in Berlin to go shopping along the famous Kurfürstendamm right on our doorstep or through the numerous boutiques at Hackescher Markt. Stroll through the old streets of Charlottenburg with its Wilhelminian style villas and many cafés, or take a walk through the Tiergarten with its green views. The city also has many activities and highlights to offer children, making a short family holiday an unforgettable experience. In our blog, you will find many other activities in Berlin that we couldn’t list here and that you should definitely try out on your next visit. 😉
Useful money-saving tips for your stay in Berlin
A successful trip begins with careful planning. If, for example, you are looking for a hotel in Berlin for three nights with breakfast included, it is worth searching for the best deals early on. Many hotels, such as Louisa’s Place, offer attractive packages that include breakfast, providing a great start to the day. It is also important to always compare prices. We always offer the best price on our website and when booking directly, even if it sometimes appears otherwise on online platforms. If you do find us cheaper elsewhere, please let us know. We will be happy to accommodate you with a free upgrade or come up with something nice for you – saving you money!
Another tip is to use public transport in Berlin during your stay and leave your car at home to avoid expensive parking fees. The network of S-Bahn, U-Bahn and buses is excellently developed within the city, extending to the main railway station and BER airport, allowing you to reach any destination quickly and easily. Louisa’s Place is also conveniently located near Charlottenburg and Adenauerplatz stations, offering short distances to all of the city’s highlights. With a Berlin WelcomeCard, you get unlimited access to the transport network for several days and interesting discounts at over 170 Berlin attractions. Families take note: up to three children aged 0-14 travel free on public transport when just one adult purchases the Berlin WelcomeCard for themselves – a particularly attractive offer for those staying in the city for several days!
