Plan the ultimate Berlin city trip
Artistic Berlin
Though much of Berlin was destroyed at the end of the war, there are still plenty of pieces of art and amazing architecture to discover in the city without visiting a museum or attraction. For instance, the interlinked Jugendstil courtyards of the Hackeschen Höfe, or the Socialist Classicism architecture on Karl-Marx-Allee. And, of course, the not to miss Brandenburg Gate and Victory Tower.
There are also several statues and fountains to discover in Tiergarten, such as the Löwengruppe, the Global Stone Project, and the Tritonbrunnen. The Elefantentor to the Berlin Zoo is also a sight to behold. These are just some of the artistic sights you can explore in the city, without even buying a ticket to an exhibition or gallery.
But there are also plenty of museums and galleries that warrant a visit. Such as the Neue Nationalgalerie, which features 20th-century art both inside its exhibition halls and in the sculpture garden. Or the Lighthouse of Digital Art, in Friedrichshain, where AI and art are combined into an immersive experience.
Of course, there are plenty of other art museums in Berlin that you might to visit during your city trip. The Alte Nationalgalerie, for example, features masterpieces from both the Romantic and Impressionism art movements. The Berlinische Galerie, in Kreuzberg, showcases modern art, photography and architecture. The Kulturform, Asian Art Museum, Bode-Museum, Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, and the Gemäldegalerie are all amazing art museums in Berlin.
Berlin has something for every visitor
Whether you are visiting Berlin for the first time or have been here before, you will always find something to discover as the city keeps reinventing its self. Every season comes with a different attraction, such as the Christmas markets in winter, the food festivals in autumn, the blooming of nature in spring and the beer gardens in summer.
