48 hours in Berlin
The perfect short trip with Aparthotel
Berlin is a city that never stands still. History, culture, gastronomy and a vibrant nightlife make the capital a perfect destination for a spontaneous short trip. Even if two days seem short, you can easily discover the most important highlights - especially if you stay centrally and flexibly in an aparthotel.
Here is your perfect plan for 48 hours in Berlin.
Day 1: Discover the most important sights

Morning: Berlin from its historical side
The perfect start to Berlin begins with a walk through the historic city center.
Start at the Brandenburg Gate, probably Germany's most famous landmark. From here, you can easily reach many sights on foot.
Just a few minutes away are:
- Reichstag building - with the famous glass dome and view over the city
- Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe - an impressive place of remembrance
- Unter den Linden - Berlin's famous boulevard
The tour continues to Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with five world-famous museums.

Lunch: street food and Berlin classics
Berlin is a paradise for foodies. You will find numerous restaurants, cafés and street food spots around Hackescher Markt and Rosenthaler Platz.
Be sure to try them:
- Currywurst with chips
- Döner kebab (allegedly invented in Berlin)
- Berlin pancakes
The many stalls in Markthalle 9 in Kreuzberg are perfect for a relaxing break.

Evening: Dinner with a Berlin atmosphere
In the evening, you can dine in one of the many modern restaurants.
Especially popular:
- Restaurants along the Spree
- trendy restaurants in Prenzlauer Berg
- International cuisine in Kreuzberg
If you still have energy afterwards, you can enjoy a drink in one of the many rooftop bars - with a view over the Berlin skyline.
Day 2: Culture, parks and Berlin lifestyle

Morning: Breakfast and a relaxed start to the day
A big advantage of an aparthotel is the added comfort: more space, your own kitchenette and the flexibility to start the day at your own pace.
After a relaxed breakfast, head towards Prenzlauer Berg, one of the city's most charming districts.
Here you will find:
- cozy cafés
- small boutiques
- the popular Mauerpark
On Sunday, it's worth visiting the famous Mauerpark flea market.

Midday: Nature in the middle of the city
Berlin has an astonishing number of green spaces.
Perfect for a short break:
- Tiergarten - the largest park in the city center
- Tempelhofer Feld - former airport, now a huge city park
- Landwehrkanal - ideal for walks
A picnic or a coffee-to-go is simply a must here.

Afternoon: Shopping and last impressions
Before heading home, it's worth making a detour to go shopping.
Popular places are:
- Kurfürstendamm - Berlin's famous shopping street
- KaDeWe - one of the largest department stores in Europe
- Bikini Berlin - modern concept shopping center
From the Gedächtniskirche you also have a beautiful view of the contrast between old and new architecture.
