Even if you go out every single day of the year, you will never run out of things to do in Berlin. Public Transport is so easy too so you can go anywhere without a car. I wish I had time to write about every single thing that we did but I was just so busy doing & enjoying things that I didn’t have time. And I think that’s more important!
PLEASE NOTE that I placed an asterisk (*) beside activities that are kid-friendly. There are definitely things that are for mature audience only in Berlin.
