The trip covers Berlin's central landmarks, museums, Wall remnants, western districts, and a full day in Potsdam. It begins in Mitte with the Reichstag and Brandenburg Gate, moves to Museum Island and the Berlin Wall path, then reaches Charlottenburg before the Sanssouci excursion. Remaining days address Tiergarten, the Kulturforum, and the southern areas of Tempelhof and Kreuzberg. The order groups nearby sites to limit daily travel.
