Travel Info What are some things to see or visit while I am in Berlin Germany? Good resteraunts/museums/historical? Travel Tips I was in Berlin for two days the week before the World Cup & got to experience some neat sights. There's different sections of town where remains of the Berlin Wall still stand. Also, Checkpoint Charlie is still in existence (one of the only points where one could cross between East & West Germany when the Wall was standing), but it's just a little stand in the middle of the street with two soldiers there as a photo op. They've made it way too touristy in that section because the street is now all "Checkpoint Charlie Gifts" or "Cafe-Point Charlie Restaurant", etc. As far as historical sights, there is also the remains of a church that was bombed during the Cold War. All that's pretty much left is the tower that has a large hole in it from the blast. They've created a museum of artifacts that remain from the bombing inside the "tower" & you can still see all of the frescos & such. For more commercial sights, there's KaDaWe, one of the largest department stores in Europe, & the brand new railway station that opened just a few weeks ago. There's probably so much more, but I was only in the city for two days. There's much more info on the Berlin tourism website http://www.berlin.de/english/index.html... Good luck & have fun on your trip! Source(s): - Personal experience - http://www.berlin.de/english/index.html... Other Travel Tips It's all here - enjoy: http://www.thetravelzine.com/40-40-berli... |
