Only from the air. US 8th Air Force heavy bombers, based in England, bombed the Berlin area numerous times. The first raid by US bombers on Berlin was during "Big Week", the first week of March, 1944.
US ground forces halted at the Elbe River, about 70 miles from Berlin. At the Yalta Conference it had been agreed that the Elbe would be the boundary between the US and Soviet Zones of Occupation once Germany was defeated. Eisenhower could not see expending American lives to capture territory which would then have to be immediately handed over to the Soviets. The Elbe was later the border between East Germany and West Germany.
Berlin was captured by the Soviet ground forces, after a titanic battle and the near-total destruction of what was left of the City.
