| Re: Berlin recommendations
I would recommend the following: Mauer park market in the area of Prenzlauer Berg – all day Sunday. Nearest S-bahn is Eberswalder strasse. Mauer park karaoke (in the mauer park) – Sunday afternoon. Seeing is believing – check it out on You Tube. The Solar Bar – great bar for chilling out and with unbelievable views over Berlin. The address is 76 Stressmann strasse (close to S-bahn Anhalter strasse). Check out www.solarberlin.com Best Thai restaurant in Berlin (in my opinion) is Thai Inside on Dircksen strasse 37. Nearest S-bahn is Hackeschermarkt www.thai-inside.de Booking is recommended. Good restaurants and bars on Bergmann strasse in the area of Kreuzberg. Nearest U-bahn station is Gneisenaustrasse. Good area for staurday shopping and cafes is around the Hackescher Hof (get off at S-bahn Hackeschermarkt). Good area for bars and nightlife is along the (in)famous Oranienberger Strasse. This is where all the pub crawls go. Get off at Oranienberger tor S-bahn station. Good museum is the Mauer Museum (the official museum of the Berlin wall) on Bernauer strasse. Nearest U-bahn is Bernauer strasse. Checkpoint charlie museum on Friedrichstrasse is good . . .but only if you like crowds. If you like shopping go to the KaDeWe (Kaufhaus Des Westerns) Right next to U-bahn Wittenberg Platz. That’s just a few ideas of course. I lived there for 10 years until I started my new job here 8 weeks ago. In fact I still have all my gear and appt there. Actually I go back quite regularly as my girlfriend is still there until she finds a job here too. Maybe we’ll be there at the same time and could meet for a beer! If you need any more info please let me know by PM and I could call you. Bye for now, Basher.  |
