Questions
Quick answers
Can I walk the whole itinerary?
The first two days group neighbouring sights. Day three needs public transport between Bernauer Straße and the East Side Gallery; the walking total excludes that transfer.
Are these three full days?
Yes. Travel from the airport, hotel check-in and longer museum queues are additional. On a short arrival day, move the ticketed visit to another day rather than rushing it.
The days these rules belong to
3 days in Berlin
The central government sights work as one walking day. Museum Island gets its own morning before a slower afternoon around Hackescher Markt. The last day follows the Wall from Bernauer Straße to Friedrichshain, using public transport between them. Arrange the Reichstag visit first and swap the order of whole days around museum openings.
