If you visit Germany and especially its pearl Berlin for the first time and if you are going to spend there only one day, you have to be very careful and plan everything beforehand. It is no use for you to spend the whole day on the countless sightseeings, it is much better to view the city’s main attractions.

It is better to start your tour from the historical part – in Mitte. Only it this way you will feel the spirit of the the bygone Prussian days. Of course, you can’t miss Alexanderplatz: big, old and so Germanic. There you will meet the Fernsehturm and will have a perfect opportunity to enjoy the world from the tallest Berlin office. From Alexanderplatz you can walk down Karl-Liebknecht-Straße and then direct to Unter den Linden, the most popular street of Berlin that is full of numerous well-known buildings. Soon you will see the impressive Berliner Dom (Berlin Cathedral) on the right. Don’t miss the Schlossbrücke (Palace Bridge).

It is also possible and I highly recommend you to make a short detour to the Gendarmenmarkt, which is one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. And of course visit Pariser Platz that is a location of the Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate), a symbol of the city of Berlin.

One more thing I can recommend you – hire a car. Since transport prices in Germany are extremely high, it will be better and more comfortable to drive on your own. When I was in the same situation, I chose 2008 subaru outback because: the car is rather big and spacious, so even 5 people will feel themselves comfortable in it and what is more even their luggage will feel comfortable. The car is very comfortable and pleasant inside and its road performance is beyond any praises.

Good luck in Berlin!
