Open a day to read the plan and its spending notes.
Leave your bags at the accommodation and shape the afternoon around your arrival time. A government-quarter walk and a meal nearby make a useful start. Add the Reichstag only with registration and a visit time that fits the current dome closures. If the journey has been tiring, a shorter walk is enough. Sleep in Berlin. Replace the room allowance with the actual booking cost, and keep your airport or arrival train ticket separate from daily spending.
€40 for one bed, €30 for meals, €7 for local travel and €5 for extras. Add paid visits, excursions and intercity or airport tickets. These are chosen allowances; use your actual bookings.
Estimated day spending: €82.00
Choose the Berlin Wall Memorial or an open museum collection and give it enough time. The main Pergamonmuseum is closed; the separate Panorama exhibition is a different visit with its own ticket. Follow with lunch and a neighbourhood walk rather than crossing the city for several short stops. Check tomorrow's departure station and keep the ticket available offline. Sleep in Berlin for a second night, with local transport included in the day plan, with paid visits added separately.

Take a suitable direct train from Berlin to Dresden, allowing around 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours on board plus station time. Check whether Hbf or Dresden-Neustadt is better for the room you booked. Leave your bags before the old centre, Frauenkirche area and an Elbe walk. Choose a museum only if arrival and opening hours leave enough room. Sleep in Dresden. The intercity fare is additional to the daily allowance; save a Bastei outing for an extra day.

Collect your luggage and take the international train to Prague. A suitable direct service to Praha hl.n. takes around 2 hours 15 minutes; some departures use Praha-Holešovice, so check your booking and the local journey to your room. Enjoy the river scenery along the way. A Bastei hike needs separate transport and walking time, so keep this day for the train and an easy arrival. Sleep in Prague, adding the train fare separately from your local daily spending.

Use the morning for Prague Castle and choose the interiors you want to visit. The main circuit costs 450 CZK for an adult; the tower and other visits can need separate tickets. Continue downhill through Malá Strana with a lunch break, then cross the river if you still have energy. The Petřín funicular remains closed at this review, so plan a suitable walk or leave the hill for another day. Sleep in Prague.

Walk through the old centre and along the river, choosing a paid Jewish Quarter visit only if its opening day and ticket suit your plans. Leave time for lunch away from the busiest crossing points. A café in Vinohrady or Karlín gives the afternoon a different pace. Buy the city ticket that fits the journeys you will actually make and keep tomorrow's train ticket available offline.
