Boat tour
If you want to hit all the must-see places in Berlin when you are on a tight schedule, this tour is designed for you. It covers historical landmarks such as the Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin Wall to popular artisan markets including Alexander Square, which is known for its World Clock that displays the current time in 24 time zones.
The best part of a hop-on hop-off tour is the freedom and flexibility it offers. Something caught your attention? Well, unlike a guided tour, you can hop off at the location, take your time, and jump right back on when you are ready to go to the next stop.
The buses come with audio guides in over 20 languages, including English, Deutsch, Spanish, and Italian, so you’ll get tons of cool information about Berlin’s history and culture. The best part? There is a special audio guide for kids, available in German and English, narrated by Santiago Ziesmer (the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants!).
If you are on a time crunch, but still want to get a good sense of the city, this tour is a solid choice. It’s affordable, easy, and a smart way to get around without stressing over the hassle of directions, language, or navigating public transport.
If you only have a few days in Berlin, but want to experience it to the fullest, then take the main route.

If you only have 24 hours in Berlin, this is the itinerary for you. It covers most of the important locations you need to see in the city without overwhelming you:
If you have two days to spend in Berlin, we recommend planning an itinerary that truly explores both the main city and its heritage sites:
Day 1: Follow the 24-hour itinerary to visit most of Berlin’s biggest tourist attractions: Kurfürstendamm, Checkpoint Charlie, Gendarmenmarkt, Alexanderplatz, and the East Side Gallery. End your evening with a nice sit-down dinner at one of Potsdam Square’s restaurants. Anna Amalia Restaurant is quite the rage among tourists for its authentic cuisine, lakeside views, and customer service.
Day 2: Start your day bright and early at the Brandenburg Gate for a classic photo op and walk to the nearby Reichstag (we recommend pre-booking a visit to the glass dome for a 360-degree view of the city). The building houses several installations that chronicle Germany’s parliamentary history, which is worth checking out as well!
Grab a quick lunch, before hopping back on the bus to the Victory Column. Tiergarten, one of Berlin’s largest urban parks, is also along the way. If you want a short break from touristy sightseeing, this park is a good pitstop for a few moments of peace and greenery.
Once you’re done with lunch, hop off at Museum Island and explore all of its five major museums – Pergamon Museum, the Old National Gallery, the Bode Museum, the Old Museum, and the New Museum. Round off your trip in the evening, right before sunset, with a relaxing boat ride from DomAquarée to soak in the city once more, but from a slightly different POV.
Day 1: Use the 24-hour itinerary as a guide to visit some of the most important historical landmarks in Berlin at your own pace —Checkpoint Charlie, Gendarmenmarkt, Alexanderplatz, and the East Side Gallery. We also recommend adding a stop at Potsdam Square for a coffee break. La Maison du Chocolat, located in the Dutch Quarter, has some amazing French-German fusion dishes, but their cakes are to die for!
Day 2: Dive deeper into Berlin’s history with visits to Karl Marx Avenue, the Red Town Hall, and the Neptune Fountain in the morning. Before breaking for lunch, stop by the Culture Forum at Tiergarten, which is home to the Philharmonie and world-renowned art galleries like the Gemäldegalerie. The Berlin Zoological Garden is also close by for a well-deserved evening walk.
Day 3: We recommend beginning your day at 10 AM, starting with the Elephant Gate, an installation in the Berlin Zoo featuring two elephant sculptures flanking a pagoda roof. Then, visit the vibrant shopping scene in Kurfürstendamm. Make sure to stop by the House of World Cultures, for an enlightening discussion and showcase of international contemporary art. End your journey with a scenic tour of the city down the Unter den Linden and a peaceful stop at Lustgarten. If you do have a few moments towards the end of the day, make sure to visit the Central Station for a final view of Berlin’s urban charm and watch the city light up as the sun goes down.
Absolutely! The buses have a special children-friendly audio guide available in German and English, ensuring an educational and interactive experience for them.
You can start your tour from any of the 22 stops. Just hop on at the most convenient location for you and begin your adventure!
The tickets include the hop-on, hop-off bus ride, boat tour (optional), and audio guides but do not cover entrance fees to attractions like the Reichstag or Berlin TV Tower.
Currywurst is a Berlin staple and can be found near major stops like Potsdam Square. Pair it with a Berliner Kindl beer for the full experience.
Berlin is known for being a vegan-friendly city! Stops like Alexanderplatz and Gendarmenmarkt have plenty of vegan cafes and restaurants offering plant-based dishes and alternatives for most German cuisines.
History lovers will enjoy stops like Checkpoint Charlie (Cold War history), the Reichstag (German democracy), and Museum Island (artifacts from ancient civilizations).
The best time to visit Berlin is during spring (April to June) or autumn (September to October). The weather is rather pleasant and vibrant for outdoor events and there are fewer crowds in comparison to the busy summer months.
Berliners value punctuality and eco-consciousness, so being on time is of the utmost importance. If you want to navigate the city on your own, figure out how to get around public transportation and avoid littering your surroundings.
