I'm off to Berlin for 5 days as a birthday present from my girlfriend. Anyone able to recommend places to visit while there? I don't know any German and my English is rusty, so does anybody know any Scouse friendly places? Cheers. |

there are plenty places around Kreuzberg/Friedrichshain/Prenzlauer Berg... it's great for just walking around too. If the weather is nice you might want to check out Teufelsberg (google it), David Lynch wanted to buy it for some sorta Krishna thing... if you want to visit Berghain, best advice is to go Sunday around 9 or ten a.m. imo, it's open until the evening hours. It is the best excuse to get drunk before noon. in these places nobody will demand that you talk to them. can't think of anything else right now. |

exactly - i had to go there to experience this for myself but seriously you can have a great time going to the berghain in the morning raving between people that are there since saturday evening. there is a really cool vibe and sometimes you can even get a free drink at the bar if you are handsome enough :P besides that - i'd recommend a tour from the fernsehturm on the alexander platz up the unter den linden street to the brandenburger tor with a visit halway through at the friedrichstrasse and see checkpoint charlie. then go further to the siegessaule. you could also see the kurfurstendamm which is an awesome place but you should go there by s-bahn. communication with the subways is really convenient and fast so don't hesitate to use it. i love berlin. |

There's a place that does this chicken thats bathed in milk before it's cooked. It's the only thing on the menu (along with potato salad, sauerkraut and massive lovely beers) I heartily recommend it and will find out the name off the missus. Visit the squats, some of them are amazing. Go to the markets if you can. Don't go to KaDeWe. Theres a guy in Prenzlauer Berg who runs this little shop which does custom, hand made while-you-wait stencil graffiti T-shirts for 10 euros (well there was when I went four years ago) he's a really nice guy, likes talking British politics and deserves your dosh. I'll post other stuff if I remember it! |

Auguststrasse in Mitte - full of great private art galleries and nice places to eat, Hamburger Bahnhof - great museum with amazing book&video shop on Invaliden Strasse near Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Kreuzberg/Friedrichshain/Prenzlauer Berg - to party, squats: - go there after midnight during weekend you should like it. If you prefere more hardcore squats: ... and have fun :) And go for a walk down the Unter Den Linden :) |

Well we're here. It's great, fallen in love with the place. Spent today in Spandau and the Christmas Market followed by a stroll along some amazing shopping street from Zoo down to a massive department store called KaDeWa with Christmas lights the whole way. Going to see Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Chalie etc. Good stuff indeed. |

Terence Hill thinks you should do more of the recommendations above and less of the touristy things. |

Just got home tonight. Amazing place. Nearly killed myself slipping down the stairs with two 20kg bags at Ostcruz going for the S9 to the airport. |

sounds good. did you see the wall? i've heard there's a wall, but i'm not sure. |

I think there are a few sections left in place. The only one I saw was near Checkpoint Charlie. |

There's a great chunk of wall with a man made beach next to it. Really fantastic and intricate graffiti. Probably should have mentioned that earlier, sorry! Glad you had a great time. I want to go again now. |

i was only in berlin for 1 full day, so did an 8 hour walking tour. it was awesome. so i'd suggest you do that first up then go back to the places that you liked and check them out more thoroughly. our tour guide was a yank, they tend to be good tour guides due to their enthusiasm. |

I fondly remember a bar called "White trash". It's been a year since i've been to Berlin last, so it's probably not a cool place to go any longer! |
