Bites, Sights, and History: The Best of Berlin in One Trip

Our recent 4-day trip to Berlin was an amazing blend of history, culture, and culinary discoveries. Starting at Brandenburg Gate, we were captivated by its iconic beauty—especially stunning when illuminated at night. Checkpoint Charlie offered a sombre look into Berlin’s divided past, making it a surreal experience to stand where history unfolded. Museum Island was a cultural gem, with each museum housing unique artefacts. The Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom) was especially memorable, with breathtaking architecture and spectacular views over the city from its dome. Exploring Kurfürstendamm (Ku’damm) showed us Berlin’s modern, vibrant side, filled with lively cafes, shops, and a bustling atmosphere. East Side Gallery was a highlight, with each mural along the former Berlin Wall telling a moving story—a true tribute to freedom and artistic expression. We also had some excellent dining experiences. For breakfast, Croissants and More offered delicious, affordable options, while Café Minouche served up a delightful breakfast, perfect for starting our day. For dinner, Indian Village had some of the best Indian food we've had, with rich, authentic flavours, while Baba Pirzola was another fantastic find, offering a great meal and friendly atmosphere. Berlin’s unique mix of history, vibrant culture, and fantastic food made our visit unforgettable. And it will most certainly not be the last ! #100WaysOfTravel #historicallandmarks
