Many would say Berlin has Europe’s most exciting nightlife, and it’s a claim that’s difficult to deny. With so many hip and trendy bars based throughout the city, along with some of the continent’s coolest clubs, you can’t help, but have a great time.

Kreuzberg and Mitte have the most bars and clubs but there are also other areas to consider like Prenzlauer Berg.

You won’t feel lonely in Berlin for long!

Enjoy foreign cuisine

There are plenty of great places and ways to sample German food in Berlin, but this is one of the most diverse capitals in Europe, so branching out and trying cuisine from a surrounding country can be one of the most rewarding things to do in Berlin alone.

Enjoying a home meal prepared by a local can also be a great way to get to know a little about their country. You could enjoy an Asian home meal, or how about Hungarian? Try the national dish: Goulash — and learn how it’s prepared! You’ll find Hungarians are especially passionate about their meat stews!

Drive through the History of Postdam

We learned so much about the past and present of this amazing city with Miha. He gave us a glimpse of what living in Berlin has to offer for people of different religious and ethnic backgrounds, varying ages and sexual preferences. He is modern, down to earth but with both a deep appreciation of history and enthusiasm for a greener future. Bravo Miha. You have two new American friends.

The Best of Hidden Berlin

This was my third tour with Martin and he never fails to impress. This time we did a mostly customized tour which began in Potsdamer Platz and ended with a well-earned beer just past Christopher Isherwood's house. During the tour visited lots of historically and politically relevant sites. But the highlight (believe it or not) was likely when Martin charmed his way past the gatekeeper of the world's most decadent powder room and allowed us to stand mouths agape in wonder for several minutes. It was a place that really needs to be seen to be believed. Martin always knows where to find magic in this city.

Berlin Like a Local: Drinking Experience

All 7 in our group enjoyed the "Beer Tour" experience with Alexander. He met us when and where he said he would. After the first quick stop, we walked the streets with a beer in our hands "like a local Berliner". The next stop was a delightful beer garden where my wife had "the best beer she has ever had" and a pretzel. The craft beer stop added yet a different view of Berlin beers. We ended at a restaurant for a light supper and with yet a different Berlin beer experience. Alex was friendly, talkative, and added the personal touch making the tour well worth it!

See Alternative Berlin

Local things to do in Berlin alone 7

If the raw and artistic side of the city is more your thing, then take a tour of Berlin’s street art, and get to know Berlin through the eyes of a real artist. You’ll learn about Berlin’s long alternative history and insight into the motivation behind the artists and their works.

You can’t really experience this side of the capital alone as an outsider; taking a tour run by locals is the only way. It’s also a good way to meet people if you’re by yourself, and you can also get some tips from your guide to help you find the best nightspots and clubs to suit your interests.

There’s a vast history to Berlin and many tours on offer. Take a tour with locals and you’ll be sure you get a knowledgeable guide. Tours can be created to suit your needs too. Why not take a tour of Cold War era Berlin?

There’s the Berlin wall memorial to see, but also other key places such as Bernauer Straße (where people jumped from buildings from East into West), Stalinallee (Karl Marx Allee), and the Berlin Wall Crossing Points (the Palace of Tears).

Learn to Cook German Dishes

Local things to do in Berlin alone 9

Cooking’s an art and a science. If you’re in Berlin alone, then why not enjoy some of that mysterious alchemy by taking a German cooking class. It’s a sure fire way to meet some other tourists and locals. Who knows maybe you’ll meet a great touring companion. In a cooking class you won’t just be following a recipe but getting on the spot training by an experienced German cook.

Germany has so many great dishes too and the secret is that they are cooked with local and fresh ingredients. There’s Bratkartoffeln (fried potatoes with onions), Hasenpfeffer (rabbit stew), or Kohlroulade (cabbage rolls, for the more vegetable inclined).
