If you happen to visit or have the chance to stay in Germany’s capital city, Berlin, expect a lot of activities, and sightseeing places to visit. However, enjoying all of them can also be bad for your purse. 

Fortunately, there are a lot of ways to enjoy the city without spending a lot. 

Read below to learn the many places you can go to enjoy Berlin for free.  

Visit Germany’s Parliament at the Reichstag 

The Reichstag is where Germany’s parliament (Bundestag) resides, and you can enter this building for free. However, although free, do remember to book an appointment online. 

You can take the lift and go directly to the building’s roof terrace to enjoy Berlin’s spectacular view. Aside from that, you can also explore other parts of the building and learn about its surrounding sights, and experience the place where Adolf Hitler once ran the country as Chancellor.

If you want to explore on your own, you can also do so by taking a free audio guide. 

Enjoy Comedy for Free

Going to bars to watch stand-up comedies can sometimes be pricey or relatively cheap. However, if you are tight on budget, there are chances of enjoying them for free in Berlin. 

Catch open mic nights in some stand-up locations in Berlin, such as the Bar in a Jar, or at the Comedy Cafe. Open mic nights usually have donation-only policies, so either enjoy the event for free or give what you can only afford.
