What to do in Berlin on an autumn weekend. The things to see, both in the city and outside for a day trip, but also to taste in Berlin in autumn, I will tell you in this post.
Berlin it is an eclectic city, a city that changes radically according to the period in which it is visited. I was in Berlin in the middle of winter (in January) and in autumn (in October) and I would love to see it in the summer or spring to appreciate the parks of Berlin that in these seasons I bet that they reveal themselves in all their splendor.
However, autumn is a splendid month to visit the city of Germany, because the bitter cold of winter is not yet felt and it is possible ride a bicycle for the parks or the most important streets of the city. In Berlin on a weekend you can see many things, you can see museums, you can go to pubs and restaurants in the open air (perhaps for lunch when the sun still warms your face) and sip cocktails by candlelight in some darkness and local romantic in Kreuzberg.
Berlin is a city that is loved or hated, it has no particular half measures and often those who love it cannot stay away from it that much (this is why I feel a desperate need to see Berlin again, even in another season). Many realities have been born in Berlin over the years. Berlin is a city that manages to sustain itself, thanks to the people who live there who are citizens of the world who think in Berlin to rethink the future.
Un weekend in Berlin it can be experienced in many ways, an autumn weekend has in my opinion some stages to be respected, without which you cannot think you have really seen it, especially if it is your first time in this city.
Which museums to visit in Berlin
Berlin is pure history, wherever you look at it. Berlin is curious history when visiting the Museum of the GDR , cultural history when entering the Altes Museum or Alte National Galerie and uncomfortable, painful but impossible to miss history when you are at Holocaust Memorial. Berlin is history that you can breathe in all corners, when you walk distractedly and come across a part of the Wall, when at Checkpoint Charlie you are wondering why a place like that is, or when the Reichstag talks about modern history.
Currywurst but not only
German food is not as famous as Italian and all over the world, when you think of a typical dish from central Germany you think of currywurst. Yet in Berlin you eat one of everything, Berlin is one of those cities where you can find it every type of cuisine all crammed into one neighborhood and all great, mostly. Italian, Indian, Eritrean, Japanese, Chinese cuisine and so on and so forth. Typical cuisine in Berlin has the taste of his beer, that is typical, and beer gardens full of people in the beautiful spring days as in the autumn ones.
Day trips for those returning for the second time
Anyone who has been like me more than once in Berlin will be happy to know that there is no shortage of day trips in autumn. From Berlin, for example, it is very easy to visit the forests of Grunewald, the Berlin city forest that is close enough to the city to be visited in one day, but far enough away to relax and unwind away from the stress of the German metropolis. In this forest there are numerous paths that can be done on foot as well as numerous lakes and ponds where you can stop to catch your breath or relax.
