And welcome to the new Berlin. When you first get here, what you need is a friend. Friends show you where to go out, make sure you don’t get lost, and help you make the most of your time.

Here at New Berlin Magazine, we have one goal in mind: to be your first friend in Berlin.

We don’t want to be just any old city magazine. As the highest circulated English-language magazine in Germany, we want to be the best source of information for your visit here. Whether you’re a weekend traveler, a world trekker, a backpacker, bunk-bed sleeper, or a Platinum Card charger, we’re for you. Because no matter where you’re from or where you’re going, we all share one thing in common: we’re all here to see as much of this great city for as long as we can.

And there is so much to see, even beyond the iconic TV Tower and Brandenburg Gate. We want you to discover the Berlin that we know and love. That’s why our free magazine is chock-full of easy-to-read color maps to point you in the right direction, coupons, hostel reviews, and a slew of Berlin Favorites – recommendations of our preferred restaurants, pubs, museums and other centers of culture. You can even get a heads-up on the weather and scope out an international train timetable here on our website before you leave. No other travel guide can give you all of that. And did we mention that it’s free?

Want some good advice?

1. Go on a New Berlin Free Tour. Walking around a city is the best way to get a feel for any place, and Berlin’s amazing history should be shared face to face. All the guides at New Berlin Tours are incredible; actors, architects, historians and journalists, New Berlin guides set the highest standard for guiding in Europe. Whether this is your first tour or your 99th, you’re going to be a New Berlin fan (equipped with insider information).

2. Check out our New Berlin Pub Crawl and sample the raucous nightlife of Germany’s capital city.  We’ll take you to some of the top bars and clubs in town where you’ll mix and mingle with locals and fellow travelers.

We hope you find this guide and our tours as helpful as the thousands of visitors before you have.

If you need any help, and couldn’t find it in the magazine, on the website, or on our tour, email us at and we’ll get back to you within 48 hours. That’s the New Berlin promise.
