Berlin is Germany’s capital city with very many museums, lakes, restaurants, markets and other fun activities to do. Berlin is a truly active city always bubbling with something, so when you are planning a visit here you would have literally 1001 things to do. Here, however, are the top three things you can do in Berlin if you are in the city as a tourist or a Berliner having a completely ‘normal’ day.
Visit the Reichstag
This is one of the most famous constructions in Germany and this is a place of work of the Parliament. It is good for tourists, but during the peak season one has to pre-book as there are way too many people who wish to take a tour. Instead of this glass dome, the original parliament building was bombed and burnt down. If one wants to have a touch of the extraordinary, call the German government and arrange in advance for an English or French speaking tour and then enjoy a cold drink and lunch at the café on the roof of the building which offers of the most panoramic views of Berlin ’s largest park.

Visit Museum Island
Germany boasts of the numerous museums and one these contain dozens of the world’s magnificent museums of art and architecture through which thousands of the tourists visit the Museum Island located in the center of Berlin. One might spend an entire day moving from one museum to the other if one is a guru in the subject. These are: the Pergamon Museum, Neusea Museum, Bode Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie, and the Altes Museum. There is always a long queue to purchase a ticket, it is wise to purchase your ticket a head of time.
Eat some traditional food
One cannot eat delicious food in Berlin and not try its tastiest meals. : For paunches, after which one would be hungry after strolling the city, there is nothing quite like German food. Schnitzel is quite an interesting dish you should consider going for and for the vegetarian, there are dishes like Kaesespaetzle (German mac and cheese) and Gemuese Maultasche. If there are many people, chances are high that you will be many, then it is wise to make a reservation because restaurants understand that many people go for a restaurant fix during the course of the day hence the constant crowding.
