Getting lost in a city is usually the best way to discover it. But when the city is as big as Berlin, getting lost might mean missing out on all the best spots. To help you navigate the Berlin Mitte area, I create a Walking tour map of Berlin which will take to all the must see in this wonderful city!

What’s included in this walking tour?
As you can see from the full map, this is a walking tour which will take you to all the best known landmarks of Berlin. You don’t have to walk the whole way. There are now thousands of bikes or e-scooters available all over.
On this tour you will see the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate, the Holocaust Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie (hum!) but also to the incredible Deutscher and Französicher Doms.
When in Berlin, you can not miss the Berliner Dom (nor the Berlin City Palace which is being rebuilt next to it!) and Museum Island should be on your list, even if you are not a museum person. You should at least stroll through the buildings and admire the architecture.
You will either love Alexanderplatz or hate it. I’m not the biggest fan but the Berlin TV tower, like all other towers, offer incredible views on the city.
This walking tour is circa 8km or 5.5 miles. You can reduce it by not going to Alexanderplatz for example 😉 but do not miss the little detour by the river along Museum Island. When reaching the end of the Island, you will have a great view on the very photogenic Pergamon Museum.
Following the river to the North, after the Reichstag offers view of the newest and most modern developments around the Spree.
And to the West of the Reichstag and the Brandenburg Gate, there is a huge park, the großer Tiergarten, where you can take a well deserved mid-tour break!!
If the little piece of the Berlin wall located across the street from Checkpoint Charlie and the other pieces you can see in the city, aren’t enough for you, you should go to the East Side Gallery, by following the river to the South-East.
