Foreword
Transport
Eight years ago, in 2006, Germany had the honour of
hosting the World Cup football matches, and what a
nation-changing spectacle it was. This year the tournament
takes place in Brazil, and as the German team has a good
chance of making it quite far, there will be little respite from
football madness in Berlin this summer. On game nights,
expect the bars to be packed with anxious viewers, and the
pavement benches in front of the screens at Kreuzberg’s
Späti all-night shops to be crowded as well.

The skyscrapers at Potsdamer
Platz tower over the train station
entrance and the exhibited remains
of the Berlin Wall. It was here that
the border between East and West
Berlin cut right through a formerly
legendary nightlife district. In the
1990s the district was built up
again from scratch, and is a tourist
favourite.

Berlin In Your Pocket
We have come a long way in the 22
years since we published the first In Your
Pocket guide - to Vilnius in Lithuania
- so much so that we are today the
largest publisher of locally-produced
city guides in the world. The recent
publication of a guide to the islands
of the Dutch Caribbean - our first in
the Western Hemisphere - has taken
the number of guides published each
year by In Your Pocket to well over five
million, spread across more than 100
cities on three continents. And there is
more to come: make sure you keep up
with all that’s new at In Your Pocket by
liking us on Facebook (facebook.com/
inyourpocket) or following us on Twitter
(twitter.com/inyourpocket).
berlin.inyourpocket.com
Although Berlin is lodged in the middle of the great empty
vastness of northeast Germany, it’s very well connected to
the rest of civilisation by bus, train, Autobahn and air. Once
in Berlin, you’ll wish that your home town had such good
public transport.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Berlin’s integrated network of U-Bahn (Untergrundbahn,
underground trains), bus, and Straßenbahn (trams) run
by BVG and S-Bahn and RE (Schnellbahn and regional
commuter trains run by DB) usually works like a dream. Just
remember the number or colour and end station of the line
you want to use, and you’ll be navigating the labyrinth-like
stations like a local.
Most S/U-Bahn trains, buses and trams run every 5-15 minutes
during the day. M buses and trams run every half hour at
night; U-Bahn trains run every 15 minutes on weekend nights,
with N buses following their routes every half hour (starting
from Hackescher Markt) on weekday nights.
Tickets can be used on all BVG, S-Bahn and local RE train
services. Vending machines have instructions in English
and accept coins, often bank notes and cards too. Berlin’s
AB travel zone contains nearly everything; you’ll only need
an ABC-ticket for Potsdam and Schoenefeld airport.
With an Einzelfahrschein ticket (AB-zone €2,60, ABC €3,20)
you can travel one-way for up to two hours with unlimited
transfers; it’s cheaper to buy four tickets at once (VierFahrten-Karte, €8,80). Buy a €1,50 Kurzstrecke (short
distance) ticket if you want to travel up to three S/U-Bahn
stops, or up to six stops by bus or tram. If you anticipate
a lot of travelling, get the Tageskarte (day ticket, valid
until 03:00 the next morning; €6,70) or the seven-day
pass (€28,80). Groups of up to five people are best off
with a Kleingruppenkarte (group day ticket, €16,20). The
multi-day Berlin Welcomecard (€18,50-38,50) is valid for
transport and some attractions.
Before boarding the S- or U-Bahn, always validate your
ticket by punching it in the yellow or red machines near
the end of the platforms. On buses and trams, the machines
are on board. Public transport uses the honour system, and
there are regular checks by uniformed and plainclothes
inspectors. If you are caught without a valid ticket you’ll
be fined €40 on the spot.
BVG
The Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe run the U-Bahn, buses and
trams. Their handy trip planner can be found at www.
fahrinfo-berlin.de.Qtel. +49 30 194 49, info@bvg.de,
www.bvg.de.
TAXIS
Berlin’s friendly and ubiquitous beige Mercedes taxis can be
called or hailed on the street. They can also be found queing
at S/U-Bahn stations and near nightlife hotspots. Not all taxis
accept credit cards, ask when you book. Prices are the same
day and night; flagfall plus the first kilometre is €3,40; then up
to 7km it’s €1,79/km, thereafter €1,28/km. Waiting costs €25/
hr. For short hops hail a taxi already driving in the direction
you need to go and immediately ask for the Kurzfahrstrecke
tarriff; €4 for 2km. By the way, Funk means radio.

CYCLING
As long as it’s dry, getting around Berlin is really best done
by bicycle. It’s a flat city, there are plenty of cycle paths and
wide bus lanes for you to use and you see so much more
from the saddle than from the U-Bahn train window. Note
that cycling on the pavement is illegal and may get you
fined, even though everyone does it. Cycling across town
may take a while, though for €1,60 you can take your bike
on an S/U-Bahn train too. There are dozens of bike rental
places, most charging €10-12 per day. The urban bike
trip planner www.bbbike.de can suggest low-traffic and
cobblestone-free routes across Berlin.
CITY CARDS
Discounts are a welcome relief, so if you are planning
to travel around town a lot and see more than one
museum, get a reduced rate card. Note that students
and youths may get better reductions at museums
using their student ID cards.
BERLIN WELCOMECARD
The Berlin WelcomeCard is a combined transport and
reduction card (museums, bike tours/rental, boat tours,
etc) valid for zone AB or zone ABC (which includes
Potsdam and Schönefeld airport). Cards are valid for 48
hours (AB €18,50, ABC €20,50), 72 hours (€25,50/27,50)
or 5 days (€32,50/37,50). There’s also a 72-hour variety
(€38,50/40,50) that includes free admission to the five
Museumsinsel museums. Cards are sold online and from
BVG ticket machines, tourist offices, S-Bahn offices, hotels
and kiosks. The similar CityTourCard (www.citytourcard.
com) is a little cheaper, with restaurant, bar and club
discounts geared towards younger travellers: 48 hours
(AB €16,90, ABC €18,90), 72 hours (€23,90/25,90) or
5 days (€30,90/35,90).Qwww.berlin-welcomecard.de.
MUSEUM PASS BERLIN
50 museums, including the permanent collections of
the Staatliche Museen (state museums), can be visited
with the Berlin Museum Pass (€24/12, valid three days).
It’s for sale at the museums, tourism offices and online.

Sports in Berlin

World Cup 2014
Berlin is without a doubt the German capital of sports
– the city has no less than six professional sports teams,
playing five exciting spectator sports: Hertha BSC and FC
Union play football, the Eisbären is an ace ice hockey team,
Alba is Berlin’s renowned basketball club, the Füchse play
handball, and volleyball is taken care of by the BR Volleys.
Their home matches attract huge numbers of visitors to
Berlin’s stadiums. Despite being rivals, the six professional
sports collaborate to improve the circumstances for
professional sports in Berlin, promoting Berlin’s image as an
international sports event destination. This summer there
are few home matches until August; keep an eye on the
club websites and check the excellent English-language
ticket booking site www.eventimsports.de for tickets.
ALBA BERLIN (BASKETBALL)
The ‘Albatrosse’, Berlin’s basketball
club is Germany’s most successful,
and has the largest fanbase. Since
going pro in 1991, Alba has won
the German League 8 times and
the German Cup 7 times, and
was also the first German team to
win an international title. Alba plays home at the O2
World stadium in June; there are 5 remaining possible
matches, maybe in Berlin, on 8, 11, 14/15, 18/19 and
21/22 June.QI-4, Mildred-Harnack-Straße (O2 World),

5 June, 19:30 (possible): Artland Dragons
FC UNION BERLIN (FOOTBALL)
FC Union is the working
man’s football team for
Berlin, originating in East
Berlin in 1966 and a feared
counterpart for the GDR’s state-influenced Dynamo
club. Union is still fiercely independent, based in their
charming An der Alten Försterei stadium. The club has
resisted all commercialism, with a club anthem sung by
punkrock legend Nina Hagen, and a stadium uniquely
partly owned by passionate fans. Nicknamed Eisern Union
(iron union), it had a tough time in the 1990s, but has had
more success in the national competitions since the early
2000s.QAn der Wuhlheide 263 (Stadion An der Alten
Försterei), Köpenick, MS Köpenick, tel. +49 30 656 68
80, www.fc-union-berlin.de. Tickets €14-43.
BR VOLLEYS (VOLLEYBALL)
Berlin’s professional volleyball
team originates in the western
district of Charlottenburg, but
plays home matches at the
Max-Schmeling-Halle in Prenzlauer Berg. The BR Volleys
have been particularly successful since the late 1990s, winning the German Bundesliga title five times, including in
2013 under trainer Mark Lebedew - during that final over
8,500 spectators were present, breaking the national record
for match attendance.QAm Falkplatz (Max-Schmeling-Halle), Prenzlauer Berg, tel. +49 1806 99 11 12,
www.berlin-recycling-volleys.de. Tickets €13-16.
FÜCHSE BERLIN (HANDBALL)
“The foxes’, Berlin’s handball team,
is part of an old West Berlin sports
club, and now plays home matches in Prenzlauer Berg’s famous
Max-Schmeling-Halle, named after
the German boxing legend who
was world champion heavyweight
between 1930-32. The Füchse compete in Germany’s
Handball Liga and the European Champions League.

EISBÄREN BERLIN (ICE HOCKEY)
Originating in 1953 in East Germany’s
Dynamo sports club, the ‘polar bears’
is Berlin’s popular professional ice
hockey team. They have won the
national Deutsche Eishockey Liga
7 times, more than any other team,
most recently in 2013 under Canadian
coach Jeff Tomlinson. They also bagged the European
Trophy in 2010; unfortunately they were not as lucky in
the 2013/2014 season. But their home matches at the
O2 Stadium are true family fests, with plenty of young
fans packing the seats, and a festive, good-humoured
atmosphere.QI-4, Mildred-Harnack-Straße (O2 World),
Friedrichshain, MS/U Warschauer Straße, tel. +49 30
97 18 40 40, www.eisbaeren.de. Tickets €18-46.
HERTHA BSC (FOOTBALL)
Berlin’s main football team
plays home matches at the
impressive Olympiastadion,
Germany’s second largest stadium which was built for
the 1936 Olympic Games and renovated for the 2006
World Cup. Hertha competes in the national Bundesliga
and internationally in the UEFA Cup and Uefa Championships League. Hertha dates back to 1892 and is know
as the ‘Alte Dame’, the old dame, witnessing its glory
years between 1926 and 1931 when it reached the
German Championship finals 6 times, winning it twice.
Nowadays Hertha’s fortunes are mixed, but the fan base
remains loyal.QOlympischer Platz 3 (Olympiastadion), Charlottenburg, MS5 Olympiastadion, tel. +49
1805 18 92 00, www.herthabsc.de. Tickets €15-89.
For many Germans, the football World Cup, taking place
in Brazil from 12 June until 13 July, is the event of the year,
and if you're in Berlin during this period it'll be hard to
escape the football mania. Most of the 64 Weltmeisterschaft
matches kick off between 18:00 and midnight German
time, with a few starting at 03:00. besides the screens
in the official fan zones, hundreds of restaurants, bars
and clubs will be showing the matches - and Berlin may
well be the best place in Europe to watch as its liberal
licensing policy means that plenty of bars are open late
at night. They're so serious about it that the government
has even made a legal exemption to allow noisy open-air
screenings after 22:00.
magazine screens all 64 matches on one large screen
and several smaller ones. There's place for 3500 people,
and still the view of the screens is excellent as seating
is on steep stands, like in a stadium. In between the
on-screen action, there are interviews and discussions,
mainly in German. But what makes the 11 Freunde
event great is the small festival organised alongside,
with live performances by bands from Berlin and the
competing countries, films, lectures, discussions,
exhibitions, street art and light art installations.
Admission is free.QPostbahnhof am Ostbahnhof,
Straße der Pariser Kommune 3, www.11freunde.de/
wm-quartier.
Germany plays against Portugal on 16 June at 18:00, against
Ghana on 21 June at 21:00, and against the USA on 26 June
at 18:00. Optimistically assuming that Germany comes out
as the group winner, further possible match dates are on 30
June and 4, 8 and 13 July. The full schedule can be found
at www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches. During the final,
on 13 July at 21:00, you can expect Germany to come to a
complete standstill if they're still in the game by then.
ARENA
Large indoor and outdoor screens showing all World
Cup matches can be found at the Arena, where there's
the additional attraction of a beach bar and a floating
swimming pool. Admission to the viewing area is free.
QEichenstrasse 4, www.arena-berlin.de.
GERMANY’S CHANCES
Although it’s clear that every Brazilian on the planet is sure
that Brazil will end up holding the copa at the end of the
tournament, Germany also stands a reasonable chance of
taking it home. Coach Joachim ‘Jogi’ Löw has a good squad
lined up, including star players like Miroslav Klose, Bastian
Schweinsteiger, Mesut Özil and the Berlin-born Jerome
Boateng. Germany came close with a second place in the
2002 World Cup, and in recent years local clubs Bayern
München and Borussia Dortmund have done well. With
some expecting Germany to fly through to the finals,
others are convinced that they’ll quickly fly out after being
thrashed in the group stage by Team USA.
WHERE TO WATCH
THE FUßBALL
Germans love getting together to watch their team play
so much, that they even invented the English term 'PublicViewing' for it. With many wonderful spots to watch the
action outside, there's no reason to sit in your hotel room
peering at the tiny flatscreen above the bathroom door.
FANMEILE BRANDENBURGER TOR
The official 'Fanmeile' at Brandenburger Tor is Berlin's
biggest football viewing spot; with 7 huge screens, dozens
of food and beer stands and live music, it's expected to
attract hundreds of thousands of fans. Germany's three
group matches will be shown, as well as all games from the
second round onwards. The grounds open these days from
13:00 until 01:00 and admission is free.
11 FREUNDE WM-QUARTIER
True football fans head to the Postbahnhof, a former
station next to Ostbahnhof, where the 11 Freunde
LIDO
Together with the Kreuzberg radio station FluxFM, the Lido
club screens all matches (except 15 June) inside the main
hall and in their Biergarten – where there's a barbecue
as well as beer. Admission free.QCuvrystraße 7, www.
lido-berlin.de.
EMMAUSKIRCHE CHURCH
Berlin's wackiest football screening takes place in
Kreuzberg's Emmaus church, where three matches will
be beamed onto the wall behind the altar. The sound
is switched off, and instead of commentary, silent film
organist Stephan von Bothmer plays the church organ
to match the action in Brazil. Admission is free, drinks
are available.Q13 June (Spain-Netherlands) 21:00, 28

CRIME & SAFETY
Berlin is a relatively calm and safe place. Instances of petty
crimes are low compared to other Western European capitals, though you shoulds still always keep an eye on your
valuables and never leave bags, wallets and mobile phones
unattended. Just like anywhere else, be careful when walking in unlit streets late at night. Race-related hassles seldom
occur in Berlin’s touristed central areas.
ELECTRICITY
Electrical current in Germany is 220v AC, 50 Hz via standard European round, two-pin sockets. Converters can be
bought at the airport and large electronics shops, and
many hotels will have them at the front desk too.
ERASMUS STUDENT
NETWORK
How do international students get to meet locals
and the city during an academic exchange? The
best way to do it is via the Erasmus Student Network
(ESN), one of the biggest interdisciplinary student
associations in Europe. It was developed to help
internationals during their stay abroad. ESN is present
in more than 430 Higher Education Institutions in 36
countries. The closest section to Berlin is the section
in Potsdam, where more than 20 volunteers care for
you. For information, see potsdam.esngermany.org or
www.facebook.com/esn.lei.potsdam.

MONEY
Germany uses the euro (€). Banknotes come in denominations of €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200 and €500. Coins,
whose design depends on in which country they were
minted, come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50
cents and €1 and €2. Credit and debit card payment is
possible in a wide range of shops, restaurants and nightlife
venues, though always have cash on you for small payments
just in case. This guide indicates which places do not accept
plastic. ATMs can be found everywhere; those that charge
for transactions clearly indicate the fee during the process.
Exchange offices can be found at the major train stations.
VISAS AND ENTRY
FORMALITIES
EU citizens can stay in Germany as long as they like, though
registration at a Bürgeramt office is officially required for stays
more than a few months. Citizens of Australia, Canada, Hong
Kong, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Mexico USA and a few
others can enter Germany without a visa for a maximum of 90
days in any six month period. All other nationals need to apply
for a German visa in advance. Note that there’s no passport
control between Germany and the other 14 European ‘Schengen’ countries, and visas to any of these are valid for travel in
Germany too. All visitors need a passport that is valid for at
least fourth months from the date of arrival; EU citizens can
enter with a valid EU identity card too. Check the MFA website
for the latest immigration details: www.auswaertiges-amt.de.

SHOWS
Rainfall (mm)
Germans like their beer, drinking about 107 litres per capita
per year (down from 136 litres 15 years ago). Unfortunately
Berlin’s local brew, the slightly sour Berliner Weiße, is only really palatable ‘mit Schuss’, with a shot of sweet fruit sirup. Cocktails and long drinks of varying quality and price are available
in a multitude of places. Non-alcoholic drinks often sipped
in Berlin include Apfelschorle, a refreshing mix of apple juice
and sparkling water, and Club-Mate (‘kloob mah-tea’) ice tea,
made with extract of the South American maté plant, caffeine
and tannins, and is popular with local hipsters as it comes in

‘The Merry Widow’, and Brecht tried out his new theatre

Until 9 June, the Wintergarten’s “Breakin’ Mozart” show
combines variety performances and classical music,
this time adding the unlikely element of breakdancing.
Besides whirling dance shows, there’s diabolo wizardry,
partner acrobatics, hand-on-hand acrobatics, Chinese
poles and human beatboxer Robeat. Mozart’s music is
performed live in both orchestra versions and modern
hip hop adaptations.
From 16 July until 5 October, the new “Sheer Madness”
show blends acrobatics, dance and live music to
narrate the story of bright imagination and joy of
living in dark times. The story is about a glitzy Mr von
Röhm who’s put in the madhouse and meets strange
characters there, whom he teaches to use their skills
for performing in his new revue show. To get a ticket
to a new future in America, they must stage their best,
freakiest, most colourful and wonderful show ever.

19141918: THE FIRST WORLD WAR
Until 30 November.
Characterised as the “seminal catastrophe” of the
20th century, nine million soldiers and almost
six million civilians died in the First World War,
the first industrialised, total war in history. It
changed not only subsequent armed conflicts,
but also influenced political thought and action
for many years to come. The German Historical
Museum’s special exhibition offers a multifaceted
overview of the war as well as its prerequisites and
consequences, and approaches this previously
unknown escalation of violence from a broad
perspective. It takes 14 salient places as points of
departure, battlefields such as Verdun, Tannenberg
or Gallipoli, but also political-cultural centres like
Petrograd and Berlin as well as occupied cities
and regions, including Brussels and Galicia. All
of the places point to overriding developments:
the modernisation of war technology with its
disastrous consequences for the people, the
worldwide wartime economy, the global escalation
of the fighting as well as the totalisation of the war,
which not only affected the soldiers on the fronts,
but also mobilised the entire population.

DALÍ EXHIBITION DISCOUNT
KARNEVAL DER KULTUREN
The high-quality catalogue of the Dali Exhibition at
Potsdamer Platz has 44 pages of text about Dalí’s life
and work, and details of the specific artworks in the
exhibition, plus 40 detailed large-format illustrations.
One of Berlin’s biggest and best street festivals,
the ‘carnival of cultures’ celebrates the diversity on
people, cultures and lifestyles in Berlin. Held from
6-9 June, it consists of two parts. There’s a festival
around Hallesches Tor in Kreuzberg, with stages, live
music, dancing and plenty of stands selling food and
drinks. The main event however is the huge parade of
music associations, cultural groups and clubs through
Kreuzberg on Sunday 8 June. This kicks off at 12:30 from
Hermannplatz, snaking west towards Mehringdamm
where it ends around 21:00. It consists of 82 groups, and
a total of 5300 participants; up to 700,000 spectators
are expected. Along the route, Turkish stallholders sell
traditional food and cheap, potent caipirinha cocktails,
and residents hold wild balcony parties. Several clubs
participate with trucks piled high with booming
loudspeakers – it’s a good tradition to simply join the
a moving rave party if you like the music. Families can
best stand along Hasenheide where it’s least hectic. For
more information see www.karneval-berlin.de.
Until 31 July 2014, readers of Berlin In Your Pocket
can purchase the book for €14,95 instead of €19,95 on
presentation of this guidebook (for ticket-holders of the
exhibition only; may not be combined with other offers).

of shows – or just randomly select some places and be
surprised.

It amounted to a minor revolutionary act: over a century
ago the Deutsche Oper was founded in Charlottenburg
as a clear alternative to the venerable Hofoper on Unter
den Linden. With more than 2,000 seats, it was larger
than any other theatre in Berlin and it also dispensed
with boxes, reflecting the ethos of a “democratic” opera
house, in which all visitors had an unimpeded view of
the stage.
Today as then the excellent visibility and acoustics
provide the framework for evening after evening of
superb musical and theatrical performances with
their principal conductor Donald Runnicles. Now all
performances at the Deutsche Oper have German and
English surtitles on a screen above the stage, as a third
of the audiences are foreigners, many of them Englishspeakers.

The American avnat garde painter Marsden Hartley (18771943) lived and worked in Europe from 1913 to 1915.
Although he stayed in Paris and Munich as well, it was in
Berlin where he painted his most impressive works, several
of them inspired by the military parades held on Unter den
Linden. His work ‘Portrait of a German Officer’ (1914), which
refers to Prussian Officer Karl von Freybourg who died just
months after the outbreak of war and whom Hartley had a
relationship, is at the centre of the exhibition.

Culture & Events
Getting there
Arrivals by plane and train usually end up at Hauptbahnhof
station, central for the city but not really close to anything.
S-Bahn trains from the top level link to the east and west
of the city, while the fancy new two-stop U55 U-Bahn line
takes sightseers straight to Brandenburger Tor.

The festival is centred around fun, food and sun; there’s
a large sandy beach area with a cocktail bar, and stands
selling American snacks such as hamburgers, hot dogs,
American beer, drinks and Berlin-made Florida Eis ice
cream. The stage has live music every day, featuring
everything from rock ‘n roll and country to big band
swing music and pop, and there’s a dance floor to
try out those line-dance moves. Highlight this year is
the native American band Clan Destine from Phoenix
Arizona, with the Hoop-Dancing world champion
Tony Duncan; they perform several times between
25 June and 2 August; check the website for the full
programme.

The Allied Museum has a special exhibition with
historical photos of the American presence in Berlin,
and the Volksfest over the decades.
Since reunification, the old city centre district Mitte
(meaning ‘middle’) has rightly snatched back the title of
most-visited district from Charlottenburg. On and off the
boulevard Unter den Linden are baroque and classical
monuments to Prussian culture. The architecturally
humbler but more neighbourhood-like Scheunenviertel
area allows the casually chic to saunter from courtyard
gallery to sidewalk café. Only traces are left of the Jewish
community that lived here from the late 17th century,
welcomed by the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm.
Pots
A great West-Berlin tradition may be coming to an
end, as the 54th Deutsch-Amerikanisches Volksfest
taking place over three weeks between 25 July and 17
August may be the last one. During the Cold War era,
the annual festival was a particularly important way
for the Americans to present their culture to ordinary
Berliners; more recently it attracts up to half a million
Berliners every year.

Between Mitte and Charlottenburg, the huge Tiergarten
park began as the Great Elector’s hunting grounds in the
1600s. Traffic passes through it, doing a dosey-doe around
the Siegessäule victory column. The Straße des 17. Juni
leads east to the Brandenburger Tor; just south of it are the
state museums of the Kulturforum and the Potsdamer Platz
district with its soaring corporate buildings.

BERLIN IN BOOKS
GDR PHOTOGRAPHY
It’s increasingly hard to imagine
life in the GDR; the country
that formally ceased to exist in
1990, as since then its society,
landscapes and city streets have
often changed beyond recognition. Photography books like
Harald Hauswald’s “Ferner Osten – Die letzten Jahre der
DDR” (‘Far East – the last years of the GDR’) help us get
an idea of what it looked like. Hauswald takes us from
Berlin to neglected towns and small villages across the
GDR of 1986-1990, showing beautifully composed images of children, workers, Communist parades, streets
in Prenzlauer Berg, the Ostsee coast, as well as images from Berlin’s alternative art and punk scene – and
just a glimpse of the Berlin Wall. What makes this book
special is the use of colour photography, made possible by Hausmann’s semi-legal work for West German
magazines, adding to the realism of the photos when
most GDR photography is monochrome. Captions are
in German.
‘Ferner Osten – Die letzten Jahre der DDR’ (Lehmstedt 2013, ISBN 9783942473507) by Harald Hauswald
is for sale for around €30 at Dussmann, and can be ordered at any other bookshop.

LANDMARKS
BRANDENBURGER TOR
Berlin’s landmark monument, built by Carl Langhans
in 1792, is the last remaining of 14 city gates. Nike, the
goddess of victory, drives the four-horsepower chariot
atop the gate. German armies used to begin their parades
here, the fascists spoiled the gate by staging their torchlit marches through it, the war badly damaged it, and
then the Wall essentially bricked the patched-up gate in
for decades. Berliners celebrated the Wall’s fall in 1989 by
standing on it in front of the gate, and after renovations
the gate is the proud focus point of the renewed square
again.QF-3, Pariser Platz, Mitte, MS/U Brandenburger
Tor.
GENDARMENMARKT
Twin cathedrals-turned-museums (dating to the early
1700s), the Konzerthaus (from 1818, by Carl Langhans)
and a row of luxury hotels make up this classic square. The
name stems from the mid-1700s when military regiments
were stationed here.QF-3, Markgrafenstraße, Mitte, MU

NEUE SYNAGOGE
The gilded cupola of the New Synagogue is one of the most
eye-catching sights in Mitte. Exhibits strikingly balance
the restoration of the Alhambra-inspired synagogue from
1866, with preserved evidence of its destruction, first
on Kristallnacht on November 9, 1938, and then through
Allied bombs. Documents and photographs remember the
thriving Jewish community of the neighbourhood, many of
whom worshipped here in what was the largest synagogue
in Germany. A subtle but effective sound installation adds
to the experience.QF-3, Oranienburger Straße 28-30,

NIKOLAIVIERTEL
Berlin’s tiny medieval heart is the Nikolai Quarter, whose only
truly medieval-looking building today is the Nikolaikirche.
The church dates to 1230 and was rebuilt along with the
entire quarter in the 1980s to mark Berlin’s 750th birthday
in the area in which the fishermen’s settlement first began.
No one was trying to outdo Walt Disney here, and many
of the buildings have the simple, concrete facades that
the GDR government could afford. The small shops in the
area mostly deal in toys and souvenirs and tourists gladly
fill the sunny tables at the restaurants that face the river.
On Rathausstraße, there’s a row of restaurants that flaunt
old-fashioned Berlin cuisine and atmosphere. Other rebuilt
historic buildings in the area date to the 1700s, such as the
Ephraim-Palais and Knoblauchhaus. Both have changing
exhibits related to Berlin.QG-3, Nikolaikirchplatz, Mitte,

POTSDAMER PLATZ
Once a busy intersection at the modern heart of a thriving
metropolis, Potsdamer Platz was heavily damaged in the
war, and suffered again when most remaining buildings
were demolished to make way for the Wall’s death strip.
Hotel and office skyscrapers now add a cosmopolitan edge
to the city, while to the east Leipziger Platz is almost rebuilt.
The most popular public space and architectural attraction
is the Sony Center, with its huge atrium and tent-like
roof, best viewed at night for its impressive lighting.
The neighbouring DaimlerChrysler complex holds
architecture by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, and the
Arkaden shopping mall.QE/F-4, MS/U Potsdamer Platz.
REICHSTAG
The name together with its monumental size make most
people associate Germany’s neoclassical parliamentary
building with the Nazis, but they have little history here. After
hosting parliamentary sessions since 1894, it was set on fire
just one month after Hitler was appointed chancellor in
January 1933. It was a conference centre in the years during
which it abutted the Wall, while later artist Christo famously
wrapped it in cloth. It was used as parliament again after a
reunited German government returned to Berlin in 1999.
Renovated by Sir Norman Foster, this building is perhaps
the most public federal building in the world through its
glass dome. On the rooftop, photographs documenting
the building’s history circle the rim above the parliament

MEMORIALS
FÜHRERBUNKER
No educational historic plaques mark the site where Hitler
committed suicide on April 30, 1945. For the last month of
his life, Hitler lived roughly eight meters below ground in
an air-raid shelter topped by a four-metre-thick, reinforced
concrete ceiling. The unremarkable spot can be reached by
walking to the end of In den Ministergärten, off Ebertstraße.
A parking area surrounded by a pre-fabricated apartment
complex covers the location, which was entirely sealed off
during the complex’s construction in 1988-89. The bunker
was once accessed through the Festsaal (ballroom) behind
the Reichskanzler-Palais on Wilhelmstraße.QF-3, In den
Ministergärten, Mitte, MS/U Potsdamer Platz.
MEMORIAL TO THE MURDERED JEWS
OF EUROPE
This bluntly named memorial avoids any vagueness
surrounding the term Holocaust. Six million Jews are
estimated to have been killed by the Nazis and this site
serves as Germany’s national memorial to those victims.
The design by American architect Peter Eisenmann is a
field of 2,700 concrete stelae, or pillars, of varying height,
creating an undulating landscape that fills two city blocks.

Mitte
The cluster of majestic nineteenth century neoclassic
buildings on the tip of the island in the Spree offers
the avid or the temperate museum-goer a number of
impressive collections of art, history and ethnology,
covering many facets of ancient and oriental culture, as
well as their cross-overs into modernity.
ALTE NATIONALGALERIE
Cézanne, Rodin, Monet, Degas and Liebermann
are some of the artists whose works hang around
this museum of 19th-century art. The temple-like
structure itself was built in 1876, and is surrounded by
a beautifully battered colonnade.QG-3, Bodestraße
1-3, Mitte, MS Hackescher Markt, tel. +49 30 266 42
42 42, www.smb.museum. Open 10:00 - 18:00, Thu
10:00 - 20:00. Closed Mon. Admission €10/5.
ALTES MUSEUM
This neoclassic building by Prussia’s star architect
Schinkel was custom-made in 1830 for the art collection
of the royal Hohenzollerns. Classical antiquities were
the focus, and today the museum uses pottery and
sculptures to take you on a well-presented tour through
ancient Etruscan, Greek and Roman history.QG-3, Am
Lustgarten, Mitte, MS Hackescher Markt, tel. +49 30
266 42 42 42, www.smb.museum. Open 10:00 - 18:00,
Thu 10:00 - 20:00. Closed Mon. Admission €10/5.
NEUES MUSEUM
Built in 1855, damaged in the war and only restored
in 2009, the ‘New Museum’ is new again and is full of
ancient art. The excellent Egyptian Museum and Papyrus
Collection are housed here, with spectacular finds
such as the famous busts of Queen Nefertiti and King
Echnaton. The Pre- and Early History collection has finds
from ancient Troy and Lycopolis to medieval Germany.
One room exhibits eleven rediscovered statues that
were considered to be ‘degenerate art’ by the Nazis.

10:00 - 18:00, Thu 10:00 - 20:00. Admission €12/6.
PERGAMON MUSEUM
The Pergamon has the best of Berlin’s classical antiquities:
the Greek Pergamon Altar, the market gate of Miletus
and the blue-tiled Ishtar Gate and processional way
from Babylon. The Pergamon Altar’s enormous frieze
depicts the battle between the gods and the giants,
with gals like Athena, Aphrodite and Artemis wiping
out their opponents like robed Charlie’s Angels. NearEast antiquities, with an emphasis on Assyria and Iran,
and Islamic art round out the museum’s treasure chest.
The audioguide has an instructive 30-minute highlights
tour.QG-3, Am Kupfergraben, Mitte, MS Hackescher
Markt, tel. +49 30 266 42 42 42, www.smb.museum.
Open 10:00 - 18:00, Thu 10:00 - 20:00. Admission €12/6.
HAMBURGER BAHNHOF
Berlin’s wonderful modern art museum is situated in a
converted train station. It’s well worth a visit by those
curious about the expressiveness of a sculpture made
of animal fat (Joseph Beuys) or urban dwellers fixated
by bars of neon lighting (Dan Flavin). Andy Warhol
and Marcel Duchamp are the other familiar stars of
this post-1960s collection.QE-2, Invalidenstraße

Admission €10/5.
MUSEUM FÜR FILM UND FERNSEHEN
(FILM AND TV MUSEUM)
Hooray for Hollywood, but remember that some of
the personalities that gave it glamour and style came
from Germany. Actors Marlene Dietrich and Peter Lorre,
directors Billy Wilder and Josef von Sternberg came out
of a country with a strong film-making tradition. Photo
stills, footage, set designs and costumes provide glimpses
of the familiar, and exhibits on Leni Riefenstahl’s shooting
of Olympia (1936) and Nazi entertainment cq propaganda
films will impress ‘seen-that’ film buffs. The museum
ends with special effects and science fiction.QE-4,

MUSEUM FÜR NATURKUNDE
(NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM)
All the wonders of nature under one roof; a grand
collection illustrating the evolution of life as well as the
diversity and beauty of nature. The largest mounted
dinosaur in the world towers over visitors in the main
hall, and elsewhere there’s the aardvarks, the early
20th-century dioramas, meteorites, the most famous
fossil of Earth history (the ancient bird Archaeopteryx
lithographica), giant shells and the gorilla Bobby from
the primates hall.QF-2, Invalidenstraße 43, Mitte, MU

NEUE NATIONALGALERIE
You’d think that the art world had gone to minimalist
extremes when passing Mies van der Rohe’s empty
glass box of a museum; the 20th century treasures are
all underground. The marvellous collection includes
Otto Dix, George Grosz, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky,
Picasso and Leger and many more modern artists.QE4, Potsdamer Straße 50, Tiergarten, MS/U Potsdamer

Charlottenburg & the West
Follow what becomes an increasingly silken ribbon down
Kurfürstendamm (Ku’damm) and the setting becomes
more genteel. West Berliners meet in the bars and cafés
branching off Savignyplatz, even if the Szene has moved
east. Nearby but isolated from the hoi polloi is Schloss
Charlottenburg, the residence of King Friedrich I. This
chapter also covers other parts of western Berlin: leafy
Wilmersdorf and Schöneberg, the centre of gay Berlin
since the days of Christopher Isherwood’s Berlin Stories.
We’ve also included some nearby venues in Tiergarten
(officially part of Mitte) here.
Getting there
Charlottenburg’s nerve centre is Zoologischer Bahnhof
station, along the main west-east raised city railway and
easily reached from Hauptbahnhof or Spandau. From here’s
it’s a short walk to many hotels and sights, or else hop on
the M29 bus, going east along Tauentzienstraße or west
down Kurfürstendamm.
Pocket Walk: Charlottenburg
Explore Charlottenburg from Zoologischer Garten station.
Walk east past the Zoo to Breitscheidplatz for the ruins
and modern reincarnation of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial
Church. Stroll further east down Tauentzienstraße for the
KaDeWe department store and other upmarket shops, or
head west along Kantstraße to leafy Savignyplatz for calm
cafés and refined dining, or southwest down grand old
Kurfürstendamm for more shopping.

If ‘downtown’ to you means wide, traffic-filled streets,
crowds of shoppers, five-star hotels and tall buildings,
then Charlottenburg comes closest to fitting the bill in
Berlin. The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche church, left
as a ruin after the war, is the nexus of activity; between
it and Zoologischer Garten station, over a billion euros is
being invested in impressive highrises, hotels and offices.

seasonal ingredients, often from the owner’s home town,

rely on wine recommendations (the list is extensive). Wines

floating roof whose translucent skin offers shelter for
almost all of the 75,000 seats. On non-event days you

CHURCHES
PARKS AND GARDENS
GEDÄCHTNISKIRCHE
The ruined Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, a stark reminder of wartime destruction, is West Berlin’s landmark
attraction. Kept as an open wound, the severe acknowledgement of Germany’s culpability is declared on a
plaque: ‘The tower of the old church serves as a remembrance of God’s judgement, which befell our people during the war years.’ The 1895 church was once a symbol of
national pride: even synagogues contributed to its funding. Inside is a gilded mosaic of the Hohenzollern dynasty.
The modern chapel and bell tower beside it were completed in 1961, and are worth entering on sunny days for the
amazing blue stained glass windows. Concerts take place
every week, many of them free.QD-4, Breitscheidplatz,

This 255 hectare park full of paths, meadows, and
waterways is the most genteel of Berlin’s parks, but it’s
still a fine place for jogging, football, a picnic barbecue,
or nude sunbathing (weather permitting). The Siegessäule
(Victory Column) that stood in front of the Reichstag from
1873 until 1938 now serves as a roundabout and lookout
point in the middle of the park. The park’s café and beer

The physical division of Berlin during 28 years, and

THIRD REICH BERLIN
Wilhelmstraße, the centre of government in Prussia,
continued to be so under Nazi rule. Between Unter den
Linden and today’s Niederkirchnerstraße, the only nonReich structure in 1936 was the British Embassy, which
still holds its ground today in a modern building. The sole
remaining example of fascist architecture is the former
Reichsluftfahrtministerium (Air Force Ministry) built
in 1935 by Ernst Sagebiehl. The grey building that
once struck fear into the heart of Londoners is now
the Finance Ministry. Hitler’s New Reichs Chancellory
stood on Voßstraße but was demolished after the war.
Not to let the red marble of its obnoxiously long hallway
go to waste, the Russians lined the nearby Mohrenstraße
U-Bahn station with it. The center of Nazi terror was on
Prinz-Albrecht-Straße, today’s Niederkirchnerstraße. The
Topography of Terror exhibit explains the functions of
the various offices – including the SS and Gestapo - that
once occupied the site.

Prenzlauer Berg
Prenzlauer Berg
On a low hill northeast of
Mitte, ‘Prenzl’ Berg’ is an old
working-class district in
the former East Berlin that
came through the war
relatively unscathed. After
1989, the cool brigade
pounced on the area, and
houses that were once
home to East German
punks were renovated
in odes to pastel. The
number of wine shops and
young parents pushing
pricey prams indicates the level of gentrification here. The
best places to soak up the atmosphere are Kollwitzplatz,
Helmholzplatz and along Kastanienallee. One of Prenzlauer
Berg’s best attractions is the Kulturbrauerei culture centre,
set in a 19th-century brewery complex. This chapter also
covers some places in multicultural Wedding, just to the
west.
Pocket Walk: Prenzlauer Berg
Start walking uphill along Kollwitzstraße from U-Bahn
station Senefelder Platz. From leafy Kollwitzplatz turn
into beautiful Husemannstraße, which was already
restored in GDR times, and left into Sredzkistraße
where you’ll spot the Kulturbrauerei complex ahead;
enter beside the tall chimney and wander through its
courtyards to the northern exit. Cross Danziger Straße
and amble down Lychenerstraße to pretty, café-lined
Helmholtzplatz. Follow Raumerstraße west, turn left
down Pappelallee and cross underneath the U-Bahn
station to Eberswalder Straße; you’ll soon reach the
popular Mauerpark and the top end of Bernauer Straße
with its excellent Wall Memorial.

The U2 from Alexanderplatz feeds crowds onto Senefelderplatz and Eberswalder Straße, close to most attractions.
From Museumsinsel and Friedrichstraße you can use tram
M1 to Eberswalder Straße as well. U-Bahn station Bernauer
Straße and S-Bahn station Nordbahnhof are most convenient for a stroll along the Wall Memorial to Mauerpark.
GUGELHOF
During the early bloom of Kollwitzplatz’s gentrification,
the success of little Gugelhof was sealed by heads of state:
Schröder, Fischer, Albright and even Bill Clinton made
surprise visits. German, French, and Swiss dishes share
the menu; this is where to try flammekuchen, a thin-crust
Alsatian pizza. The atmosphere is lively and service is

Sightseeing
LANDMARKS
KULTURBRAUEREI
Follow the yellow brick wall of this 19th-century
brewery and you’ll eventually find an entryway into a
nightlife Mecca that resembles an Old Town setting. A
cobblestone pedestrian way courses through the centre
of the complex, whose 25,000 square metres is filled with
bars, restaurants, clubs, galleries and a cinema. The only
thing you won’t find is freshly brewed beer; Schultheiss
shut down production here in 1967. Soda Club is a both
a restaurant and popular nightclub, and Kesselhaus and
Alte Kantine host anything from readings to theater to
live bands.QG-2, Schönhauser Allee 36-39, Prenzlauer

The immensely popular ‘Wall Park’ has no greenery to speak
of; this is an intensely used piece of former border strip that’s

crowd of thousands.QG-1, Eberswalder Straße, Prenzlauer

Friedrichshain
Friedrichshain
Friedrichshain is a lively old workers district that has completely been taken over by rad nightlife venues, graffiti and
leftist students moaning about Touri’s encroaching on their
favourite watering holes. Tree-lined Simon-Dach-Straße is
full of cafés and bars, while Boxhagener Platz hosts the popular Sunday fleamarket. In the former border zone along the
river, the ‘MediaSpree’ development plans for offices, apartments and skyscrapers is passionately opposed by many vocal locals who fear they’ll lose public access to the river. This
chapter also includes suburban sights east of Friedrichshain.
GERMAN
KEULE
Keule, pronounced ‘coy-ler’ and berlinerisch for ‘bro’, is an
authentic corner in an increasingly international district.
It serves regional cuisine classics such as soljanka soup, a
hefty farmer’s breakfast, traditional pork knuckle, cured
smoked pork and berry compote dessert. Later on, there’s
cocktails and sports on the large screen.QSimon-DachStraße 22, Friedrichshain, MS/U Warschauer Straße, tel.

Getting there
From Mitte, hop on a train to S/U-Bahn station Warschauer

Pocket Walk: Friedrichshain
Get off the S- or U-Bahn at Warschauer Straße; enjoy the city
panorama from the bridge and glance back at the dainty
red-brick Oberbaumbrücke bridge before heading north into
the district. Turn right on Revaler Straße and left on SimonDach-Straße for Friedrichshain’s most touristy stretch of bars
and cafés. A right on Krossener Straße takes you to Boxi,
Boxhagener Platz, scene of the excellent Sunday flea market.
Walk north along Gärtnerstraße and Mainzer Straße to reach
the grand Stalinist-style Frankfurter Allee. Follow this west (it
becomes Karl-Marx-Allee) and turn right onto Friedenstraße
for a stroll and a beer in Volkspark Friedrichshain.
SCHNEEWEISS
Schneeweiß is extremely stylish, very popular, and
very, very white. The delicious Alpine and ‘new German
cuisine’ on the menu here is easily a match for the
chic interior, which has won accolades for its fantastic

Pocket Walk: Kreuzberg
Kreuzberg is best explored in two parts. From Platz der
Luftbrücke station walk west to Viktoriapark and climb the
Kreuzberg for views north over the city. Descend eastwards
and walk along genteel Bergmannstraße, perhaps
visiting a café or the market hall, before walking south to
Columbiadamm for access to the the former Tempelhof
airport, now a wonderful park.
Start a tour of the fascinating eastern end of Kreuzberg
at Kottbusser Tor U-Bahn station; wander north through
‘little Istanbul’ to Oranienplatz and follow the park to
the Engelbecken pond where you can follow the former
Wall along Bethaniendamm to Mariannenplatz, a centre
of Berlin subculture. Stroll down Waldemarstraße to
café-lined Lausitzerplatz and cross under the U-Bahn
line to lively Görlitzer Park. From here, go north into
Falckensteinstraße to discover more of Kreuzberg’s street
art, or head south along Ohlauer Straße and across
Landwehrkanal into the trendy ‘Kreuzkölln’ district for
cupcakes and cocktails.

Getting there
The Bergmannstraße area is best reached from
Friedrichstraße station on the U6; get off at Mehringdamm,
or at Platz der Luftbrücke for the Viktoriapark. For the gritty
end of Kreuzberg hop on the U8 from Alexanderplatz
and pop up at Kottbusser Tor. The Kreuzkölln bars are
within pubcrawling distance of Schönleinstraße and
Hermannplatz stations, on the same line.

everything from 90s, RnB and rock to house and electro.

Thanks to a large Turkish
community and more hippies, anarchists and alternative folks than you can
shake a bong at, Kreuzberg
feels neither east nor west.
It was the black sheep of
West Berlin, literally cornered up against the death
strip and left alone to play
loud music and draw on
the walls. By now, the protesting students of 1968
have grown grey alongside
the Turkish immigrants. Every year since 1987, Kreuzberg
relives its 15 minutes of fame during the traditional May
Day political demonstrations, which invariably turn into a
long night of stone-throwing and burning cars. Otherwise,
Kreuzberg is a perfectly safe district to wander through, and
it’s all about backgammon at the men’s clubs, café-sitting
along Landwehrkanal, and ambling down the popular Oranienstraße and Bergmannstraße drags.
This chapter also covers areas south of Kreuzberg: leafy
Treptow west along the river Spree, the Tempelhof
airport-turned-park which attracts thousands of visitors
in summer, and the upcoming Neukölln district. Here,
the Kreuzkölln area around Reuterstraße is increasingly
attracting hipsters, artists, artsy boutiques and weird
nightlife spots.

TEMPELHOF AIRPORT TERMINAL (ZENTRALFLUGHAFEN)
The Tempelhof Airport terminal, now used for events, was constructed in the 1930s, but the interior of the massive 1300-metre-long complex was never finished. The history is impressive:
the Prussian army paraded here, in 1909 Orville Wright broke
records by flying higher and longer than ever before, and in
1948 the first round of the Cold War was won when the Allied
airlift beat the Soviet blockade. Two-hour English-language

(TOPOGRAPHY OF TERROR)
Beside a souvenir-ravaged stretch of Wall, the cellars are all

Office. The fascinating exhibition in the trench and the adjacent pavilion and park uses models, texts and photos to
highlight the topography of the Third Reich police, military
and security groups that were headquartered in this area,
and discusses their organisation and the terror they cast
across Europe. The most important lesson to take home
is perhaps that these organisation only managed to thrive
thanks to the continuous cooperation of many institutes
and citizens. Set aside 2-3 hours to do it justice.QF-4,

Kids stripped to their knickers wade in between the shallow,
tiered levels. 65 metres above, people lean back against the
graffiti-laden monument to take in the panoramic view.
Towards the back of the park, past a playground and off the

River tours
After flowing a bucolic 400km from the Czech border
region to Berlin, the river Spree goes out with a bang before
disappearing into the Havel near Spandau. Cutting a curvy
passage through Berlin, it provides tremendous views of
the Dom cathedral, the Reichstag and the government
district and the Berlin Wall near Ostbahnhof. Some of the
Spree is diverted along park-lined canals, and Berlin has
more bridges than Venice or Amsterdam.
Short city centre cruise tours depart regularly from the
boat landings near the Museumsinsel, Friedrichstraße,
Hauptbahnhof station and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt
in the park. The 3.5-hour Brücke (bridges) tours cruise past
all the city centre sights, down Landwehrkanal and past the

There’s a story on every corner in Berlin, though you’ll need
a guide to hear it. It’s a huge, fascinating city, but lacks a real
Old Town-type area. Attractions are fairly far-flung, so plan
your itinerary and get acquainted with the excellent public
transportation. If you’re here for a limited amount of time,
we highly recommend you join one of the walking or
cycling tours to get your bearings and see the main sights.
BUS, CAR & PLANE TOURS
BERLIN CITY TOUR
Open-top doubledecker buses circle the main sights
in about two hours; the green ones have live English
commentary; red ones have audioguides. Board at
Kurfürstendamm 14, the Town Hall or Brandenburger Tor
and hop-on or hop-off as you like. There’s also a narrated
‘Wall & Lifestyle’ tour taking in the main Wall sights and
some trendy districts.Qtel. +49 30 68 30 26 41, www.
berlin-city-tour.de. Tickets €15/12/5.
BERLIN UNDERWORLDS
The Berlin Underworlds Association allows you to
experience Berlin´s history from an unusual perspective,
through its underground installations dating back to the
Cold War, World War II, or earlier. Though predominantly
in the spaces below Berlin´s Gesundbrunnen station,
tours are also offered in several other complexes that
are usually not accessible to the public. With prior
notification, tours can be arranged for groups of
minimum 20 people at other times.
The following tours are held in English; they also take
place in German and Spanish at other times, and various
tours are held in Dutch, French, Italian and Danish.

Several tour bus companies operate hop-on hop-off
double-decker bus City Circle tours lasting 2.5 hours. Buses
