Booked into the Raddison Park inn in Alexanderplatz and buzzing! Is that the one with the giant fish tank? It's cool as f**k. Had a few pints in there last month. And it's next door to the Cathedral and the museums so a brilliant spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. I'm sure someone told me that you can jump off the top of that one. Or something like that. The Raddison Blu is the one with the aquarium. It's just to the left of where that photo was taken from. Edited December 3, 2017 by Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Stayed in the Blu when I was there. Nice hotel and weird that you get rooms with either a city view or an aquarium view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspy Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Correct. I'm sure someone told me that you can jump of the top of that one. Or something like that. The Radisson is the one with the aquarium. It's just to the left of where that photo was taken from. During the summer months you can jump off the top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to google that to make sure it wasn't part of some weird Teutonic suicide cult. https://www.parkinn-berlin.de/en/jochen-schweizer-base-flying-berlin/ Thankfully you are attached to a rope. I still don't fancy it though... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Das Gift was a bit pricey for the area imo but good though, definitely recommend it. Plenty good places nearby as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of pubs under the railway bridge at Hackescher Markt but they're pretty pricey and touristy. There's a pub nearby called something like the anti-war cooperative cafe. It' s near the flagship adidas store and is full of crusty hippies. I personally prefer to drink in Freidrichshain & Kruezberg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the hofbrau place, a micro brewery which I can't remember the name of...wanna say Lemke. My personal favourite was The Pub. Pour your own beer and the burgers looked brilliant. Quite novel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
