Blogging partner Noambit describes some Berlin must see attractions.
Berlin Central Station, by Marco Mutzke
The advice includes the Reichstag (now housing the German Parliament), Brandenburg Tor (Gate), the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, Museumsinsel (museum island) in the Spree River housing 5 gorgeous museums, the TV tower near Alexanderplatz, the statues of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engles and the (animal!) zoo. All these attractions are wothwhile spending sometime at – don’t try to take them in all at once, maybe plan for 1/2 to 1 day each as a guideline for the first time visitor (although some would argue that e.g. the museums are worth spending weeks in – hey, we’re not arguing, just making a general suggestion!)
You’ll also see parts of the infamous Wall that came down with the fall of communism and other sights that’ll remind you of the city’s suffering during WW2 – not necessarily to everyone’s taste, but nevertheless some of the city’s recent past that has imparted a lot to its present day character.
Our suggestion for those on a Europe tour in Berlin would be to also sample some, preferably much, of the nightlife. Berlin’s one of the most vibrant places in Europe for the young and the young at heart, it really rocks.
Berlin apartments rentals can be excellent value for money if you are travelling with family or a group of friends.
