How to avoid the worst of it today

The Cold War seam All day Checkpoint Charlie to Bernauer on foot, with time to read everything.
Museum Island Morning Take the houses in sequence, with the colonnade courtyard between them.
Wannsee Afternoon The S-Bahn reaches the lake beaches and the woods in half an hour.

Where the crowds are

The Brandenburg Gate plaza: Tour-group pulses all day; the one reliably dense spot in a diffuse city.
The East Side Gallery's famous murals: Selfie clusters at the Kiss; thin everywhere between.

Quiet places in Berlin

The Tiergarten: The centre's huge park; it never feels full.
The Kieze beyond the S-Bahn ring's postcards: Kreuzberg's canal, Neukolln's Weserstrasse and Prenzlauer Berg's squares.
