Mr. Brightside Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Fantastic city, my favourite by far. The Topography of Terror is worth going to, however it's pretty rough, as you'd expect. There's really far too much to do/see. I've been three times and feel I haven't seen much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The Olympic Stadium is well worth a visit. The history of the place makes it far more interesting than your usual stadium tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centralTon Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 One of my favourite cities. Would recommend; Topography of Terror, Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Fernsehturm, The Wall, Teirgarten & Café am Neuen See in the park, Sony Centre, Alexanderplatz and the World Clock, KaDeWe if you like shopping, Olympic Stadium, Spree River cruise. Plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from, but try Currywurst from a street vendor, just for the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofarl Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I love Berlin. Best city I've ever been to in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLIEA Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Great place. CentralTon has pretty much covered it. Would second getting a curry wurst from a vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Currywurst is one of nature's greatest creations. Where are you planning to stay in Berlin? I stayed in the Freidrichshain area in the former East Berlin. It's pretty cool. This area has the East Side Gallery, a section of the Berlin Wall, that is now covered in murals, including the iconic image of Honecker and Brehznev kissing... For a night out, I'd recommend the area around Boxhagener Platz, there are dozens of pubs all within staggering distance of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you're considering the Reichstag, book in advance. I love Berlin, best city I've ever visited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 In that case, if you fancy an al fresco beer on a warm afternoon, head down to Hackescher Markt. It's a railway station with several pubs and cafes in the arches underneath a railway bridge. There's plenty of table and chairs outside and when I visited there were buskers and street performers nearby. There's also a pretty cool pub in the Mitte area called White Trash Fast Food.

underdogunderdog underdog Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 There is a great Spanish restaurant called Atame which is not far from Alexanderplatz. KaDeWe has a good food section at the top of it for a bite to eat. Try and get to Olympic Stadium for a game if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellisdee Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I went over there a few years back during October, where I stayed in the Hotel Adadgio just a block off the Ku'damm (One of the main shopping streets of the old West Berlin.) Found it pretty easy to get round on the subway, as Berlin is probably one of the biggest cities I've been in.Done most of the sights but I would like to go back there one day. One of the highlights however was the Venus festival venus-berlin.com/en which was an eye opener,but it was a great day out. I'd recommend it to any lads out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footiechick Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 We've already prebooked the dome viewing area in the Reichstag So looking forward to this in 2 weeks time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullywee Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 To anyone going to Berlin and planning to stay in a hostel; I would recommend Wombats City Hostel. It's pretty central with a 7th floor beer garden from which you can see the tower and the Reichstag. I've had many a drunken night up there slevering shite with people from all across the world. I'd also recommend a quick visit to the Hauftbahnhoff which is only 5 minutes from the Reichstag and one of the coolest buildings out there. Edit - the white trash place mentioned above is just across the road from Wombats and is, indeed, a pretty cool place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
