There are two sides to\u00a0Berlin<\/a>. No, we\u2019re not referring to the city\u2019s geography. There are the must-see museums and tourists spots, but there\u2019s also an alternative side to city that isn\u2019t included in all the guidebooks. Here\u2019s our guide to the \u2018on the map\u2019 and the \u2018off the beaten track\u2019 attractions of Berlin.<\/p>\n

Get your culture fix<\/h2>\n

On the map:<\/strong>\u00a0Save your legs and hop on a sightseeing\u00a0Hop-on Hop-off bus<\/a>\u00a0to take in Berlin\u2019s most famous buildings and popular attractions in one day. Use the headphones to tune into the running commentary as you drive past historic sites such as Potsdamer Platz and the creative neighbourhood of Kreuzberg. There\u2019s plenty of stops along the way so you can get off and explore.<\/p>\n

Off the beaten track:<\/strong>\u00a0Check out Berlin\u2019s grungy and gritty subculture by joining an Alternative Berlin twilight tour. Promising to \u2018lead you down the rabbit hole\u2019, these unconventional sightseeing tours introduce visitors to a handful of districts that tourists don\u2019t normally experience. From exploring abandoned relics to raiding street artists\u2019 favourite haunts, this is a great way to get under the city\u2019s skin. Tours take place on Friday and Saturday nights and it\u2019s not unusual to end up at a private party in some obscure location afterwards.<\/p>\n

Where to eat\u2026<\/h2>\n

On the map:<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019re looking to grab a cheap eat on your way from one sight to another, you\u2019re spoiled for choice in Berlin \u2013 there are 200 street vendors peddling an array of delicious sausages across the city. The most popular variety, and easily the city\u2019s culinary emblem, is the currywurst \u2013 there\u2019s even a museum dedicated to this spicy sausage. Whether you eat yours with mayonnaise or mustard, you can\u2019t go wrong at Curry 36 in Kreuzberg, a streetside vendor with something of a cult status, reportedly selling up to 1000 wurst a day.<\/p>\n

Off the beaten track:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes, sausages are a big part of the Berlin experience, but don\u2019t let your porky appreciation distract you from the plethora of food trucks that regularly roam the city, pulling up to serve food from all over world. There\u2019s House of Flying Dumplings, which sells steamed wontons into the small hours, and Vatos Tacos, a vintage milk cart turned Mexican feasting destination that also hosts the odd DJ night.<\/p>\n
