Berlin by Campervan: Campsites, Parking and City Sights

Quick summary: Berlin is a sprawling city best explored by U-Bahn, S-Bahn, bike and on foot, so campervan travelers usually stay at a campsite on the city’s lakes and forests and travel in. The Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Berlin Wall Memorial, East Side Gallery, Museum Island and the Holocaust Memorial are all reachable by public transport. A green sticker is needed in the low-emission zone, and parking for larger vehicles is limited, so leave your campervan or motorhome at the campsite.
