What’s going on everybody? This is Island 
Hopper TV and today we’re going to show you the best things to do in Berlin, Germany. 
Known as the largest city in the European Union with a population of 6.2 million people, 
Berlin is an absolutely massive city. Said to be nine times larger than Paris in terms of land 
area, 40% of the city is covered by green spaces, including forest. First up, here we are 
at the Brandenburg Gate. Widely known as Berlin’s most iconic landmark. It’s famous for its 
symbolism and history. It was built for peace and commissioned by King Frederick William II of 
Prussia. The gate was built between 1788 and 1791. Originally named the Peace Gate. By the 
way, as we continue to show you around Berlin, I want to let you guys know there are timestamps 
below in the description so you can bounce around from location to location. Next up, here we are 
at the Berlin Cathedral. also one of Berlin’s most impressive and recognizable landmarks located 
near Museum Island in the Mitti district which we’ll be talking about a little later on. It is 
an evangelical supreme parish that was built in 1894 to 1905. It’s highly recognizable because 
of its green dome as you can see. Now here we are at the Charlottenburg Palace, the largest 
and most significant palaces in the area around Berlin. Built for the queen in 1695 as a summer 
residence. Her name was Sophie Charlotte. And now we’re actually going to talk about Museum 
Island, a world-renowned cultural complex. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site because of five 
worldclass museums. They have the old museum, the New Museum, the Old National Gallery, the Bode 
Museum, Pergamon Museum, which is actually closed right now because they’re doing an extensive 
long-term renovation. It will be opening around the year 2027 partially and then a full reopening 
won’t happen until around 2037 and then the final phase 2043. They have big plans for this museum. 
Now let’s talk about the Berlin Wall. One of the most symbolic sober reminders of the Cold War. 
The main purpose for the reason why it was built was to keep the communist in East Germany from 
coming over to the German Democratic Republic in the west. And the longest stretch of the wall is 
actually called the East Side Gallery spanning 1.3 km. That’s about a mile. It is an open air gallery 
with lots of artwork on the walls. Now it’s called a symbol of freedom and unity. Now let’s talk 
about nightife. This is something that New Berlin is really known for. They’ve got these discos, 
and they’ve got these kind of raver lifestyles with legendary nightclubs, underground venues, and 
all night parties. It’s got a really diverse music scene as well. People come from all over the 
world to party and do nightife in Berlin. Now, here we are at one of the green spaces. This is 
tear garden, which basically translates to animal garden or deer park in German. It is 210 to 255 
hectacres. That’s about 520 to 630 acres. It’s a huge park known as the lungs of Berlin. Located 
right in the heart of Berlin. It’s kind of like New York’s central park but here in Berlin with 
plenty of walkways for cycling and jogging. This here is the topography of terror. It’s Berlin’s 
most important and somber memorial. It’s located on the former grounds of this secret state police 
or the Gestapo of the SS. And as you can see, you’ll be getting around a lot of places in 
Berlin. One of the best ways to get around is on the subway. When you purchase your ticket, 
remember it is divided into three zones, A, B, and C. You always want to make sure that the 
ticket that you purchase is for the correct zone. For me, this was a bit difficult getting used 
to at first, but as time went by, it started to make a lot of sense and it was really easy to use 
and save money. Now, here we are at the Natural History Museum. This is not located nearby the 
museum island. It is a bit away, so you will need to take the subway or an Uber. This is a great 
museum for children as well as adults. Expect to be here for about 2 to 3 hours. Ticket prices 
are around €11 for adults and €5 for kids. Now we’re actually headed to Alexanderplatz. This is 
a great place for hanging out. It’s a big square right in the center of the city. They’ve got 
a lot going on here. I consider this more of a marketplace. Kind of a hustling and bustling 
kind of experience here in Alexanderplatz. It is a vibrant atmosphere. This is where the world 
clock is as well as the TV tower. This is a big iconic tower that towers above Berlin. Probably 
one of the most iconic modern landmarks of all of Berlin. You can actually go to the top. Ticket 
prices start at around 2250, but if you wanted to go to the observation deck plus the restaurant, 
it’s around 24.50. Children are 1250 to go up to the observation deck, so you save a little 
bit of money. It is 368 m. That’s 1207 ft. Now, here we are at Mitte, which actually means middle 
in German. So, this is the middle of the city. This is one of the most famous neighborhoods. 
A lot of what we’ve already been showing you is located here in Mitte, but this is probably where 
you’ll want to be staying somewhere around this area. They’ve got plenty of cafes, restaurants. 
It’s really got the cosmopolitan feel. They also have some German brew houses and most of the 
famous sites and landmarks are here. Next up, here we are at the Berlin Central Station. This 
is a great way to get around Germany and Europe. It’s like a central station here in the middle of 
central Europe. Originally opened in 2006, it does have five levels. There’s an upper level, which 
is east, west tracks, lower level, north, south tracks, and then ground level, which is retail, 
ticketing, and entrances. It is made of glass, so it’s an interesting glass modern type structure. 
Here you’ll find high-speed trains that’ll take you long distance, as well as intercity trains 
that will take you around the big sprawling city of Berlin. I arrived here from Amsterdam and then 
departed later for Prague Czech Republic. How can you come to Germany without trying some of the 
local beer? As you know, October is beer fest, but Berlin is one of the famous places for German 
brewhos. Classic Berlin beer would be like the Berlin or Weiss, a sour, cloudy wheat beer, 
typically around 3.5% or try German lager or pillser or pale ale. Always remember to be safe 
when going out for drinks. Now, let’s talk about the Berlin Zoo. This is actually considered one of 
the best zoos in the world, and it’s right there next to Tiergarten. For tickets for a day pass 
or around 16, a little bit cheaper for children. So, that’s a really good price. It is one of the 
oldest zoos in the world. There are two zoos here because of the East versus West Germany situation 
that existed in years past, but no longer exists. Also, bike riding. So when you come to any city in 
Europe, you’ll notice bike riding is a big part of it and you can actually do that here in Berlin and 
I would encourage it especially around the river. Consider downloading the app Next Bike and having 
that set up before arrival so that you can easily ride bikes here. Now let’s talk about German food. 
One of the foods that really stands out to me is curry wurst. This is basically bratwurst sausage 
with fries and some curry powder on the ketchup. very delicious and definitely a local food here in 
Berlin. You will also notice that kebab is popular here in the city of Berlin. A lot of people don’t 
realize that because this is something that would come from say Turkey or the Middle East, but 
here in Berlin, lots of kebab. But then above and beyond the curry worst or the kebab, you 
have plenty of bratwurst. As you guys know, broughtwur is a staple of German cuisine. You 
also have sauerkraut. That’s a famous dish here. basically fermented shredded cabbage. Now, here 
we are at Olympic Stadium in Germany. This is a very popular place for soccer or as it’s known 
over here, football. Now, they do have the Hera BSC team, the German national team plays here, but 
soccer in general, very popular sport in Europe. Up to 75,000 seats here in the Olympic Stadium. If 
you’re in town during a soccer or football game, definitely try to check out a game here at Olympic 
Stadium. This stadium was originally built in 1934 and 1936, but it’s undergone several renovations 
to modernize. After all, the Berlin Olympics were in 1936. Now, we’re headed over here to the 
Reichstag, which is actually the German Parliament building. As you guys know, Berlin is the capital 
of Germany. And right next door is Bundestag, another government parliament building. So this is 
really a central area for governance. Originally opened in 1894, it was heavily damaged during 
World War II, then fully restored in 1999 with a modern glass dome architecture. So really a 
beautiful building. The reason it has a glass dome is because it represents transparency and 
openness within the government. And right next door is going to be the Holocaust Memorial. As 
you guys know, during World War II, this was one of the main cities for the Holocaust. So, this 
is a memorial for those who were deceased during the Holocaust. Millions of people died. It is on 
4.7 acres and and it’s concrete slabs laid out in a grid pattern. Now, here we are at Checkpoint 
Charlie. This is a Cold War landmark. Obviously, it gets its name from the phonetic alphabet 
Charlie. It was a border crossing between east and west. Now, here we are at the Spree River. 
So, you can do a boat tour. You can also walk along the river, but if you want to go up and 
down this river, you can on a river boat. There are so many different bridges here along the 
river here with about 1,700 different bridges. That’s actually more than Venice, Italy has, and 
they cross the rivers and the canals here. I would say the German engineers really like to get to 
work on these bridges, don’t they? As you know, Germany is known for engineers. Right now, let’s 
talk about riding a tram around the city here in Berlin. That’s one of the best ways to get around 
as a light rail kind of transit. And now for some general facts about visiting Berlin. So, the 
official language is German. So, Guten Morgen, which means good morning. The currency here 
is the euro. Credit cards are widely accepted, but carrying cash is advisable. For the visa, it 
is part of the Schengen zone in the European Union, which allows most people from the US, UK, Canada, 
and Australia to visit visa-free for up to 90 days around the Schengen area of the EU. I would say 
2 to 3 days is a good amount of time to explore Berlin for your very first time. Obviously, if 
you want to stay longer and immerse yourself in the lifestyle, then you stay as long as you 
really want. A lot of people really love Berlin, especially for the night life. But there’s more to 
the city than the night life. Consider getting a day pass, maybe the day ticket or the Berlin 
welcome card for maximizing your value as a tourist in the city. Some things to know about 
cultural etiquette. Recycling of trash in Berlin is very common. So do your best to recycle and 
return plastic bottles or even glass bottles. Quiet times, especially in residential areas, 
are between 1000 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. So, if you’re out partying and you’re walking the 
streets after 10 p.m., make sure to keep it quiet as you’re walking home out of respect for 
the community. Punctuality does matter. Germans are usually on time, even for social events. 
So, if you say something in Germany to someone, make sure you mean it. People care about that. 
That’s something to notice about the culture here. You don’t just say something unless you 
mean it. Tap water is safe to drink, but that’s up to you if you decide it is safe 
enough for you to drink. As far as shops go, they are mostly closed on Sundays, so keep 
that in mind. The weather, winters are very cold and gray. Summers are mild. It does get 
a bit hot in July, but nothing too crazy. Spring and fall are really ideal for travel to 
avoid that bitter cold or that extreme hot summer heat that can be pretty brutal as well. Now, as 
far as safety, Berlin is generally safe, but do watch out for pickpockets in major transportation 
areas, transit hubs, or even touristic areas. And with all that being said, I hope you enjoy 
your trip to Berlin and explore more of Germany. We will see you on the next one from Vienna, 
Austria. Click the link right here at the end.
