Leave Eurostars Berlin at about 7:35 a.m. and walk to the Reichstag Building; the journey is roughly 20–25 minutes. Aim to arrive around 8:00 for security screening ahead of your 8:15 a.m. roof terrace and dome tour. Your advance reservation is required, and you’ll need valid identification; follow the entry instructions on your booking.
From the Reichstag, walk about 10 minutes to Brandenburg Gate. The gate and Pariser Platz are free to visit, with no ticket or reservation needed.

The underground Information Centre is also free, but check its current opening schedule before you go.
Walk west into Tiergarten for a self-guided visit; the park is free and does not require a ticket. Allow around 1–1.5 hours to explore its paths, then return to the hotel on foot (roughly 25–35 minutes, depending on where you finish in the park). Alternatively, from the park’s eastern side, walk to Brandenburger Tor station and take the S-Bahn one stop to Friedrichstraße, then walk to Eurostars Berlin.

A ticket is required; timed entry and advance booking are recommended, particularly for the Nefertiti collection. Museum ticket prices vary by exhibition, so check the museums’ official pages before visiting.
From the Neues Museum, walk back to Eurostars Berlin in about 20–25 minutes.

Start in the Charlottenburg Palace Gardens, which are generally free to enter and open earlier than the palace interiors. The palace rooms usually open later in the morning, so check the official palace website for the day’s hours and any changes.
Allow about two hours for the palace interiors. A ticket is required, and advance purchase is recommended, particularly if you want a specific entry time.

The Berlin Wall Memorial Documentation Centre is normally closed on Mondays, so don’t plan on entering its exhibition on October 12.
Walk roughly 20–25 minutes from Bernauer Straße to Mauerpark, following the former border area into Prenzlauer Berg. The park is free and open to explore; its famous flea market is a Sunday event, so it won’t be running on this Monday.
