Berlin picks
Six shortcuts to the Berlin you didn't know you wanted to see.
Currywurst at Konnopke's (Prenzlauer Berg). Döner at Mustafa's or Rüyam (Kreuzberg). Schnitzel at Hartmanns. Berliner Weisse at any beer garden. Späti (corner shop) beers in the park count as dinner here.
Build this walkA Cold War listening post on top of Nazi rubble, on top of the highest hill in Berlin, now covered in graffiti. Bring trainers. The walk up through the forest is half the magic.
Build this walkMuseum Island - five world-class museums in 500 metres. The Pergamon, Neues, Bode, Alte Nationalgalerie, Altes. The DDR Museum if you want kitsch. East Side Gallery is open-air but the rain makes the colours pop.

Build this walkEast Side Gallery at sunrise (no crowds). Oberbaumbrücke from below. The Holocaust Memorial. Tempelhofer Feld at golden hour. The Reichstag dome (book free, online, weeks ahead).

Local knowledge
The stuff you only learn after you've walked it. Six tips, from a local.
01
9 times the size of Paris. "Doing Berlin" means doing one Kiez (neighbourhood) at a time. U-Bahn between zones, then walk slowly within.
02
Many bars, late-night döner stands, and Spätis are cash only. ATMs are everywhere. Carry €30-40 minimum.
03
Beers in Görlitzer, Mauerpark, Volkspark Friedrichshain, Tempelhofer Feld. Bring rubbish bags, take your bottles home. Spätis (corner shops) are open 24/7 for refills.
04
Supermarkets, most shops, post offices - all closed. Restaurants, museums, bars open. Bahnhof Friedrichstrasse and main station shops are the exception. Stock up on Saturday.
05
Long evenings (sun sets 22:00 in June), beer gardens open, Tempelhofer Feld at its best. November-February is grey, cheap, and atmospheric - perfect for the museums and the clubs.
06
The bouncer Sven Marquardt rejects more people than he lets in. Going alone, wearing black, knowing the lineup all help. Going as a tourist group at 23:00 on Saturday does not. Try Watergate, Sisyphos, About Blank instead.
