Hi @InaS @DanniS @Sorbe ?

Berlin, Berlin wonderful city. Cosmopolitan, modern and in same time ancient, busy (but really busy) of big and small square to discover. Say the true I were different times but every time I can see how fast it grow. 2-3 days of vacation are not enough to turn it attraction or interests point. Advice: start from Berliner Dom (principal church of Berlin) and, after visit, walk along Bunderstrasse 2 till Brandeburg Gate (around 2 km), behind the port in 5 min you’re to Reichstag palace (parliament). Through Bunderstrasse you can meet a lot of museum, memory point, shopping center etc etc Really…it’s hard to say how many things to see and to do in this extraordinarily town!

Hi @CarmineDpC ,

Keep up sharing and contributing :)!

Hey @InaS ,

Thank you for your tag. I am going to Berlin at the end of the month for the first time and I am making a list of things to see, possibly during a weekend.

Do you have any suggestions of places that are valuable to see, apart from the main ones @CarmineDpC ?

Ciao @Sorbe , @InaS

What I liked best is Prenzlauer Berg, which is not a museum, it is not an art gallery, it is not a church, but an entire neighborhood! It is the first place I suggest you to experience Berlin in an “alternative” way to the traditional “mainstream” paths. Prenzlauer Berg is an originally suburban neighborhood of the former West Germany, bordering the wall. Immediately after the fall of the wall, this area was conquered by artists and young creatives and became a symbol of the integration between different sections of the population and also of multiculturalism.
It is worth visiting, without necessarily having a precise destination in mind, but simply enjoying this symbol of free and unconventional Berlin, similar to the New York of the eighties, where everything was possible.
On the streets of Prenzlauer Berg you can breathe an extremely lively atmosphere and the “underground” culture shows itself in a thousand different shades. And in the evening the area comes alive thanks to the many restaurants, bistros and clubs where playing live or dance, which are among the favorite destinations of the Berlin youth.
To visit the Prenzlauer Berg area, the underground stop is Eberswalderstrasse, on the U2 line.

I must think of other places that I have now lost the names of… I continue :slight_smile:

Remembered another curious journey made in this beautiful city… the undergrounds. They hide real pieces of history.
The museum is accessed by the Gesundbrunnen underground station, whose “bunker B” (perfectly preserved) is an exceptional access point. Once you get down underground, you can choose different routes.
1)
The first route is dedicated to the defense of civilians during the Second World War, the anti-aircraft bunkers created at the time, as well as a series of explosive devices that were recently found.
2)
The second theme is the use of subsoil for other purposes, such as the brewing of beer of some large breweries or the “pneumatic post” that traveled inside pipes through a dense underground network or even the “blind tunnels”.
A sad chapter in the history of Germany can be read in the path dedicated to the tunnels dug during the years of the Berlin Wall by those who hoped to pass from the East to the West using the subsoil. A few hundred successes, however, there were many arrests and convictions of those who were discovered by the fearsome Stasi.
A curiosity: the walls of all the rooms have been painted with zinc sulphate to attenuate the darkness.

To find out more, the website of the Association of volunteers who created and takes care of the museum is available: www.berlin-unterwlten.de
