Get a Ticket or get a ticket!
by JourneyOf1
It's been mentioned before I'm sure, but its always a really good idea to go ahead and by a ticket for the public transportation system. Very conveniently located in most stations you'll find the auto-ticket machines where you can purchase one: single ticket (for 2 hours), day ticket (all that day and night until 3am), and multiple tickets, etc. You can get the reduced rate for under a certain age, if you can pull it off even if you are older.
I did it once when I was short on Euro, but thank God I didn't get caught! Also purchase one because you can get a very heavy fine for riding without, 200 Euros I believe. I noticed that during the weekdays especially the plain-clothes officer are out and checking. During the nighttime hours, honestly I didn't see anyone checking then, but better safe that sorry. I rode a few days without purchasing, but would have been crying like a crazywoman if I had got caught and had to pay before I could leave the country. Meeting some interesting characters on the U-Bahn.
St. Kamilius
by bugulma
When I went to Charlottenburg Schloss I went along Spandauer Damm and saw this church. I wasn't inside and just enjoyed its view. I think you agree the architecture is interesting, I haven't seen such before. The name of the church is St. Kamilius.
Lots of Nice Pools in Berlin

If you are looking for a nice way to relax, get some exercise, or just see lots of half naked (completely naked if you manage to visit a pool on FKK day) berliners, this is what you are looking for ... Swimsuit. Or not (see above note about FKK day)

Friedrichshain ---- this is where more of the wild and interesting stuff is going on nowadays. if you veer off of simon dach strasse you can find some really great bars and parties, as well as lots of thriving squats and skinny bald men in tight leather pants.
