Must Visit Instagram Spots
Brandenburg Gate
Okay, you absolutely can't skip the Brandenburg Gate - it's like Berlin's Eiffel Tower! The best time to visit? Either super early morning when there's barely anyone around (perfect for those main character moments), or at sunset when the golden light hits just right. Pro tip: walk a bit further back and get that perfect shot where you're 'holding' the gate. Trust me, it's going to be your most liked photo from Berlin!
Reichstag Building
The Reichstag Building is literally insane! The glass dome on top is giving futuristic vibes, but make sure to book your free tickets online in advance (thank me later). The best part? You can walk up the spiral ramp inside the dome for some seriously epic shots of Berlin's skyline. And if you're feeling fancy, there's a rooftop restaurant where you can grab a coffee with Parliament views. Student discount available!
East Side Gallery
If you're into street art and history, the East Side Gallery should be your favorite place in entire Europe! It's the longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall, and now it's basically the world's longest open air gallery. My favorite part? The famous 'The Kiss' painting, you know, the one with the two politicians kissing. The whole wall is super colorful and perfect for those artsy Instagram shots. Just avoid the middle of the day when it gets super crowded!
Memorial to the Murdered Jews
The Holocaust Memorial is one of the most powerful places you'll visit in Berlin. It's this massive field of concrete blocks that creates this really moving atmosphere. While it's important to be respectful (it's not just a photo op), you can capture some really meaningful shots that show the scale and impact of this place. The underground information center is a must visit too, it really puts everything into perspective.
