Don't go if you are into beautiful cities, Berlin isn't beautiful - it's charming!
In a nutshell
a bohemian city in a hard, plastic 1960s kitsch shell
187 Reviews BERLIN ..I , like most who visit Berlin took a visit to Check point Charlie!!. I know it's the real touristy thing to do but I was very interested to see this site from the military point of view.. Rather a small checkpoint I thought!! ...I don't know why I thought that it would be bigger!! ...
213 Reviews Since our last visit to Berlin the Reichstag building had acquired its glistening new dome, the work of Norman Foster. As an admirer of his work, and a fan of “new meets old” architecture, I was keen to tour the dome and to see what are reputed to be the great views from within. Unfortunately the...
153 Reviews BERLIN The Berlin Wall was a "must see" while in Berlin and with a good local friend we went to see the "East Side Gallery" A section that is really colourful and had been painted in different sections by various artists sending their message with their brushes..some of the images are extremely...
111 Reviews When I go away on holiday I enjoy a visit to the cinema to catch up on the latest films. It’s a good place to give your feet a rest after a hard days walking and the prices tend to lower than the UK. The problem being that some countries such as Germany dub the films into German. So it was good news...

12 Reviews and 570 Opinions In August 2008 I happened to travel on business to German cities and the first stop was made in...
33 Reviews Located on a quiet, tree lined avenue that is the was a main road to the Charlottenburg Palace, the cafe as a front garden eating area facing the street. The staff were very pleasant and enjoying a Hefe dunkel dark brew in preparation for my visit to the Palace down the street was relaxing. The...
Snacks (Döner, Currywurst, etc.)
55 Reviews Another topic of conversation which came up during our excellent dinner at Tiergartenquelle was the origins of "currywurst" which it so happened I was the leading authority, explaining that it was a post-WWII thing when an enterprisingly Berliner lady married the idea of German sausage to...
37 Reviews As we walked through the doors in Kaufhaus des Westens or KaDeWe for short, we were greated with an enormous Christmas Tree with the finest decorations, this was followed by more of the same, unfortunately the cost of some of the decorations was almost as outrageous, buy hey I dont want to sound...
22 Reviews They sold young, trendy, up-to-the-minute clothing and accesories for girls in their teens and twens. In opinion of Urszula(matcrazy0) good choice of interesting clothes for young feeling women - simply her recommendation. Woman's clothes. Reasonable prices.
23 Reviews The Internationales Berliner Bierfestival is a blast of a festival held near the Alexanderplatz. I counted 3 separate major stages where bands were playing, and the booths of beer vendors went on for blocks. The beers were from everywhere, with Bavarian and Hessen companies having the strongest...
14 Reviews Berlin’s coat of arms features a black “bear rampant”, that is standing on his hind legs and facing to the left – you will see it everywhere you go. Indeed you will see all sorts of bears, as this has become a sort of unofficial emblem of the city. There are different theories as to why this is,...
10 Reviews Not that I wasn't one at in a galaxy many years ago, but the teens use the metros as primary transportation and after a fair number of hours at the party scene don't be surprised if the party continues on the metro. This group wanted to practice their English on me. I was more concerned with the...
13 Reviews Berlin is a wonderful city, the sights I mean. Public building stay open later than most cities I've visited and prices are relatively cheap, however, the people are so rude. I've read so many reviews say its misunderstanding etc. Nonsense. The majority of the people I encountered directly or...
10 Reviews Someone else has already mentioned it, but there are turkish or some eastern european men working the system here. They are close to or near the cathedral, the TV Tower or Unter den Linden. You will see men with 3 little boxes playing a game where they have a little soccer ball and you watch him...
12 Reviews The last version of the Berlin Wall was over 140 Km in circumference, 3.6 metres high and 1.2 metres thick which makes for a total amount of concrete of around 604,800 cubic metres. For a "do-it-youselfer" you can buy ready-to-mix concrete at about 10 Euros per cubic metre these days and so I'd...
32 Reviews I'ts a trip to dispair. You can see the quiet within the madness that a concentration camp used to be. The place around looks so peaceful it's hard to believe the horrors that went on in there. Take a box of kleenex if you are sentimental on the subject.
25 Reviews The Mauerpark Flea Market is located in Prenzlauer Berg. Vendors vary from artists selling paintings and prints to antique dealers to people selling random junk. This large outdoor Flea Market is only open on Sundays. I would recommend at least 2 hours to visit the different vendors, grab a beer...
6 Reviews This is a wonderful, relaxing sauna, swimming and spa center atop the Europa Center with a inspiring view of central Berlin. All activities are "mixed" in the Northern European sense of things so you will run into men as well as women completely naked (that is why it is so relaxing since it's no...
Olympiastadion/Olympic Stadium
11 Reviews Through my life as a sport idiot I've seen hundreds and other hundreds of football games. All over Europe. But nothing can be compared to the World Cup game I saw here in 2006. Sweden had started the tournament in a really bad style, just getting a 0-0 draw against Trinidad/Tobago in their first...
24 Reviews Admiring its architecture. Visiting Treptower Park used to be a must for all Soviet citizens - this is what the hosts told us. We were taken to the memorial dedicated to the Soviet soldiers and officers who had fallen during the battles in and around Berlin in 1945. It was very impressive to see all...
35 Reviews The Parlament from Germany it is next to Brandenburg gate. It is very impressive the big glass dome on top where you can enjoy a great view of Berlin (in a good weather day!) Always queues, so we did missed this time, but Sandra went up. Keep in mind the security check that it is very strict Free...
