What this tool does
This tool turns a phone map full of pins into real walking times. Pick where you are starting, and it ranks every other main Berlin sight by how many minutes it takes on foot, from the Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island to Alexanderplatz and the East Side Gallery.
How to read the result
Each sight gets a plain verdict: a quick stroll, an easy walk, long but doable, or take the U-Bahn. Anything under about 25 minutes is usually a nicer walk than waiting for a train. Over 40, and a single AB ticket will be faster and kinder to your feet.
Why central Berlin is so walkable
The historic core is flat and the streets are wide and straight, so the famous sights sit far closer together than the size of the city suggests. Unter den Linden alone links the Brandenburg Gate to Museum Island in about 25 minutes of pure sightseeing.
Plan the rest of your day
Walk the connected centre and ride the long hops out to the edges. Pair this with the full guide for the one walk to do on foot, the flat, comfortable-shoe reality, and the sights that are firmly train distance.
