Bus tour
by estargrl88
Not my favorite thing...but a general tip: If you are thinking about taking a tour, I would recommend doing it by bus. Normally I enjoy walking tours because I feel you get to experience more; however, consider walking around some more by yourself afterwards. The fact is, Berlin is huge with spread out attractions and if you want to really see most everything in a short amount of time, you really have to do it on wheels. On the bus tour we passed by a few different areas and monuments which I didn't have time to come back to, or I probably wouldn't have stayed in long anyway, but at least I saw them. Look for tours where you do get to get off here and there too.

WWII and where do they live?
by matcrazy1
Some Berliners live in apartments inside old multi-store houses put one by one along its streets. The old houses were mostly damaged during heavy bombings at the end of WWII and rebuilt after the war. But quite many of them have never been rebuilt in old style. Instead there were modern buildings put on.
So, don't be surpriced to see quarters of modern buildings among the old ones, just like this one on my picture put on the corner of Kleiststra?e and Martin Luther Stra?e (district Sch?neberg).
Potsdam
by Nemorino
Potsdam is not just a suburb of Berlin, but a major city in its own right. In former times it was the summer residence of Friedrich the Great, whose palace and park "Sanssouci" are still major tourist attractions. Potsdam is now the capital of the Land of Brandenburg.
The Adult Education Center in Potsdam is named after Albert Einstein, who had numerous connections to this city. There has been an "Einstein Tower" in Potsdam since 1921, and an "Einstein Institute" since 1924. Einstein himself had a summer house in Caputh, near Potsdam, starting in 1929.
Second hand clothes
by matcrazy1 about Ariane Second Hand
This store sold second hand clothes (+ accessories) both for women and men from old collections of well known fashion designers like Jil Sander, Versace, Chanel and Dior.
HOURS:
Mon -Fri: 11.00 am - 6.30 pm,
Sat.: 11.00 am - 4.00 pm,
Sunday: closed. Second hand clothes. Surely no cheap clothes there but much cheaper than any new collections of world's famous designers. For example old costume of Chanel costed "only" 800 € that was... 3 times less than a new one. Crazy?
