Berlin is big and spread out, and the easy choice is often the worst one. The Berlin City Guides tell you which currywurst and which döner are worth the trip, how to see Museum Island and the Reichstag dome without losing hours in a queue, where the Wall really makes sense and which club doors you stand a chance at. Every place gets a short reason to go, the neighbourhood and a practical tip, and the guides open in your browser as soon as you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Markthalle Neun
Eisenbahnstraße 42/43, Kreuzberg
A restored market hall from 1891 that set off Berlin’s love affair with food markets. Come on a Thursday evening, when the stalls cook everything from Korean fried chicken to gözleme and the craft beer flows. From the food guide.
Gemäldegalerie
Kulturforum, near Potsdamer Platz
Vermeer, Rembrandt, Dürer, Caravaggio and Bruegel under one roof, in calm rooms that are seldom busy. One of Europe’s finest Old Master collections and one of the most relaxed museums in the city. From the things to do guide.
Pfaueninsel
Peacock Island, Wannsee
A small island in the Havel, a short ferry hop away, where peacocks roam freely around a little Prussian castle. Even in winter, with the buildings shut, the paths stay open and wonderfully quiet. From the day trips guide.
From the game to the rest of the city
World City Trail’s Berlin scavenger hunt, outdoor escape game and audio tour lead you through the historic centre. Once the last clue is solved, the guides take over: a döner in Kreuzberg, the Wall Memorial on Bernauer Straße, a jazz cellar in Charlottenburg or an S-Bahn ride out to Potsdam the next morning.
