Berlin with Kids \u2013 What to do in the capital of Germany<\/h2>\n

Working as a familytravelblogger<\/a> based in Cologne, I have already visited many capital cities all around the world with kids. London, Washington DC or Oslo. But our own, Berlin, was missing on this list! That needed to be changed, and so we traveled to Berlin for a long weekend. During our trip we stayed at the MEININGER Hotel Berlin Mitte<\/a>, called the ‘Humboldthaus’, which offers not only great options for family rooms but is also very well-connected to public transport, which is key when you are traveling with kids to major cities.<\/p>\n

#1 Taking the suburban trains<\/h3>\n

Taking the underground train in Berlin is exciting! Not only when you are just 8 years old. There is so much to see although your are only traveling from A to B. The trains, the different stations, the beautiful and old signs, exhibitions in the hallways \u2013 or you can just watch Berlin life go by. You could easily spend a whole day just zick-zacking Berlin like this.<\/p>\n

#2 The Berlin Wall Memorial<\/h3>\n

When you are visiting Berlin, it is very likely that the history of this formerly divided city will be part of your trip. The best way to start learning about this is the Berlin Wall Memorial<\/a>. It is situated at the historic site on Bernauer Strasse, extending 1.4 kilometers along the former border strip. Start your visit at the visitor center where you will be shown a film that will also help kids to understand what was going on. Don’t miss the viewing tower that will give you an overview of the area.<\/p>\n
