The internet cafes, like Easy Everything, where you sit side by side with as many as 350 others, strange orange color in the place but it has a Dunkin Doughnuts inside it. That doesnt help if you are on a diet but it does help if you dont have coins for the ticket machine. They dont take paper money, so go buy a doughtnut and coffee, use the coins to buy internet time then choose a computer and have a good time.
*Check beforehand what is the rate. 1 Euro for 60 minutes is a good rate, while one place I saw it was 3 Euro for the same amount of time. Better the 1 Euro! At Easy Everything it changes from day to day, sometimes as low at 1 Euro sometimes up to 1.80 Euro.*
The above was current when I first wrote this tip a couple of years ago....things have changed!* I left it so you could see the difference clearly. Now, there is a flat rate for internet at the Dunkin Doughnuts, which is 2€ for an hour.
**The easiest one to find is Easy Everything near Zoo Station at 224 Ku´damm if you are a traveler coming into the famous station. When you come out of the Zoo station go right past Burger King about two blocks then cross the street. Or take get off at Ku´damm station and you are right there.*
Again that was before, this one is no longer there.* There is only one directly across from Zoo Station if you come out going towards Kaiser Wilhelm memorial. There are very many neighborhood internet/telecafés in Berlin, most run by Turkish operators, and there prices are much cheaper, between -.50 or -.80 cents for first 30 minutes. 1€ per hour. Much better, yes? But also, it's usually a smaller place, closer to other users, and more smoky, but tolerable.
The biggest one in most popular area I happened to go to was at Potsdamer Platz, its on the side with Sony Centre. One can see it clearly from street side. I have my own laptop, but I don't always carry it with me so this is convenient if you have to check something quickly. Also many cafès now have FREE ACCESS so you can connect, though you need to buy a coffee or something while you're there, but there is no limit to your staying that I've found (unless I guess you are sitting there for 8 hours or something taking up space from other customers!) Well, as I said, the Easy Everything at Ku'damm is closed that I mentioned above, but it was my favourite one to go to because you could go to the upstairs room and look out the windows at everyone going by while you surfed. An easy place to meet friends as to go on to other places.
