🇩🇪 Berlin | The Perfect No-Backtracking Itinerary
Just returned from my dream solo trip to Berlin! Here's my efficient 1-1.5 day route covering all must-see spots without retracing steps: 🚶♀️ Walking Route: Berlin Cathedral → Marx & Engels Statue → Alexanderplatz → TV Tower → World Clock → Brandenburg Gate → Reichstag → Holocaust Memorial → Potsdamer Platz → Checkpoint Charlie → Jewish Museum → East Side Gallery 🚇 Transport Tips 24-hour ticket (AB zone for city/ABC for airport). Validate your ticket! (No checks on my trip, but better safe than €60 fined!) 📍 Key Stops Berliner Dom ⛪ Baroque beauty on Museum Island (skip interior if short on time). Marx-Engels Forum 🗿 Quick photo op—nothing special. Alexanderplatz + TV Tower + World Clock 🕒 10-min walk from cathedral. TV Tower = meh vs Shanghai’s Pearl Tower. Brandenburg Gate 🏛️ 200-year-old icon packed with tourists. Victory Goddess on top! Reichstag 🔮 Book dome slots 1-2 weeks ahead (or try walk-in at the white kiosk opposite). Bring passport! Holocaust Memorial 😢 Maze-like concrete blocks—prepare for heavy emotions. Potsdamer Platz 🏙️ Glitzy business hub with gum-covered Wall fragments. Checkpoint Charlie 🛂 Cold War relic. Snap the "You are leaving the American sector" sign + grab Wall fridge magnets! Jewish Museum 📚 Largest of its kind in Europe—2,000 years of Jewish history. East Side Gallery 🎨 The Kiss mural = iconic. 1.3km of powerful street art! #Berlin #GermanyTravel #SoloTravel #EfficientItinerary
