Best Tours & activities in Berlin (2026)

Berlin's history is complex, and a good guide makes a real difference. Walking tours are the most popular way to start, and Original Berlin Walks offers themed walks on the Wall, the Third Reich and the city's wider history. For something completely different, Berliner Unterwelten leads tours through bunkers, air-raid shelters and tunnels beneath the city, giving a sense of life during the war and the Cold War. Berlin on Bike, based at the Kulturbrauerei in Prenzlauer Berg, covers more ground on two wheels, which suits the flat streets and long distances between sights.

The river Spree and the canals offer another perspective, and Stern und Kreisschiffahrt runs sightseeing cruises through the centre past Museum Island, the government quarter and the Reichstag. Alternative Berlin Tours focuses on street art, subculture and the city's creative side. Book popular tours in advance, especially in summer and at weekends, and check meeting points carefully, as many start at major stations or squares. Underground tours have age limits and involve stairs and uneven floors, and bike tours need a basic level of confidence on the road. Walking tours usually last around three to four hours, so wear comfortable shoes and bring water and a layer for changeable weather.
