My trip to Berlin 2022 May. A short 3-day stop in Berlin. Visited The Berlin Wall Memorial, Tiergarten, Brandenburg Gate, Television Tower.
After the event in Primošten, so intense, I needed some rest.
My next destiny really is Monaco, but as there were no direct flights to Nice, its closest airport, I had to choose one German city to take a second flight.
Instead of doing a connection, decided to stop for 3 days and take some rest and a bit of tourism.
Berlin 2022 May – Goals
My goals for this trip were:
- rest after Nomadbase Live Croatia;
- a bit of tourism;
- learn more about Europe;
Public Transport
I used the public transport, composed by the trains (S-Bahn) and subway (U-Bahn).
There are simple to use, you buy the tickets in countless machines available inside the stations.
Before entering, you have to validate them in another machine, usually very close to the vending machine.
When using S-Bahn from Berlin Airport to other parts of the city, as it is located outside the AB zone, it is necessary to buy an ABC zone ticket.
1-Day Tourism
I stayed for strict 3 days, but just one day free (as one I was arriving and the other I was departing).
I have made this one day itinerary including 4 tourist places, just one was not free (the last one, the Television Tower).
All places can be reached by public transport.
The Berlin Wall Memorial
This is what is left from the famous Berlin Wall.
Very interesting to learn about the Cold War era, it includes a documentation center.
Tiergarten
This was recommended by a German colleague during the event in Primošten.
It is located in the middle of the city, but it is a big green area, so nice to walk inside and relax.
Brandenburg Gate
Very tourist place, so also very crowded.
Television Tower
I bought a ticket for the Television Tower from Visit Berlin website, you can choose to just see the view or have a meal at Sphere restaurant.
The photograph has some few reflexes originated by the glass.
Conclusion
Germany is an amazing country, and honestly, I don’t think it is fair to stay just 3 days in such a great place.
The reason I spent so few days is due to my scheduled trip and travelling expenses.
I want to come back again some day and visit not just Berlin, but other cities, in the future.
The goals for this short stay (rest and a bit of sightseeing) were fully reached.
