Traveling Solo Through Berlin

Berlin is one of Europe’s most influential cultural hotspots, with a mix of important historical sites, galleries and museums, as well as an underground music and art scene that attracts visitors from around the world. Whether it’s your first time traveling through the capital of Germany or you happen to be a seasoned visitor, here are a few things to do and see along the way.

The Nightlife

For anyone looking to make new friends, you’ve come to the right place. Berlin is home to what many consider to be Europe’s most eclectic and exciting nightlife, with a mixture of trendy bars, grungy music venues and large and small clubs. The areas of Kreuzberg and Mitte are great if you’re looking for a larger quantity of new places to discover, but if you’re after some of the best hot spots, then make your way to Prenzlauer Berg.

Museum Island

One of Berlin’s most popular attractions and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Museum Island is home to five fantastic museums and galleries. Expect an array of world-class artwork and historical relics from Germany and around the world. From ancient Egyptian artifacts in the Neues Museum to Byzantine sculptures in the Bode Museum, if you’re looking to enjoy some classical artwork and potentially meet like-minded cultural enthusiasts then this is the place to head.

Consider a Pub Crawl

As previously mentioned, Berlin is replete with a great bar and pub scene. If you’re looking for a few people to have a drink with, then there is no better chance than on an organized pub crawl. If you happen to be staying in a local hostel, then they will often have one organized, or be able to tell you where to go to find one. If you’re not staying in a hostel, then ask around at a local bar or pub.

Rent a Bicycle

To feel more like a local and get a better understanding for the layout of the city, consider renting a bicycle, it will give you a great sense of direction and place for future Berlin city breaks.

Berlin is a great place to head to discover important parts of Europe’s modern culture and history and relax at the same time.
