5 days in Berlin Itinerary

The country's capital and largest city, Berlin is a diverse urban center boasting a lively nightlife and countless things to do.

Discover out-of-the-way places like Room Escape Games and Memorial and Museum Sachsenhausen. Change things up with these side-trips from Berlin: Potsdam (Sanssouci Park, Potsdam's Gardens, & more). There's much more to do: see the interesting displays at Neues Museum, steep yourself in history at Gedenkstaette Berlin-Hohenschoenhausen, get engrossed in the history at Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, and don't miss a visit to German Historical Museum.
