Museum Island to Alexanderplatz
13 stops · 1 h 55 min · 3.2 km
From Museum Island to Alexanderplatz — 13 stops, about an hour and three quarters, station to station. Where Berlin actually began, and how little of it is left: a pleasure garden that spent most of its life as a parade ground, a medieval town cleared for a socialist centre, a replica old quarter built out of prefabricated panels by the state that cleared it, and a square still waiting to be replaced. Walkable from either end.
Walk it either way
There is a station at each end, so this walk works in both directions — the guide reorders the route and retells the stops to match the way you are going.
