Berlin Seven-Day Board: A Week in Berlin From Your Arrival Date
A week in Berlin laid out from the day you land. Enter your arrival date and day trips: Museum Island off its Monday closure, the shopping day off Sunday, City West on the Wednesday lunch concert, Potsdam off its Monday, and the Reichstag dome on an evening it is open.
Seven days placed around Monday museum closures, Sunday shop closures, the free Wednesday concert at the Philharmonie, palace days in Potsdam and the Reichstag dome dates, with sunset for every day.
Land on a Saturday and your Monday is day 3; land on a Thursday and it is day 5. This board moves the whole week with it, so Museum Island, the shopping day and the day trips each fall on a day they are open.
What the board shows
A week in Berlin works best when each day sits on the right weekday. Museum Island, the Gemäldegalerie and the palaces in Potsdam and Charlottenburg close on Mondays, shops close on Sundays, the free Philharmonie lunch concert is on Wednesdays from September to June, and the Reichstag dome closes on some dates. The board lays out seven days from your arrival date around those fixed points, with an evening for each day and the hours of daylight.
How to use it
Enter the date you arrive. Day 1 is a short arrival day around Alexanderplatz; days 2 to 7 are full days.
Choose your day trips: Potsdam, the Sachsenhausen memorial or Charlottenburg Palace. The board keeps two trips apart.
Tap any day to see why it sits there: Monday and Sunday closures, the Wednesday concert, the Thursday late opening, the Tuesday and Friday market.
The yellow bar on each row is the daylight between sunrise and sunset. Put the outdoor days where it is longest.
Where the facts come from
Opening days come from the official pages of the State Museums of Berlin, the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation, the German Bundestag, the Berlin Wall Foundation, the Sachsenhausen Memorial and the Berliner Philharmoniker, checked on 13 October 2026. Sunset is calculated for central Berlin. Holiday weeks between 24 December and 1 January have their own hours.
