Question

What are the must see's in Berlin - we have 3 days!!!?

Answer 1

For three days in Berlin, I would do the following:

First day, take a walking tour to see the city's most important sites (Brandenburg Gate, etc.). The guides on these tours give you also advices on what to do based on personal talks with them:

In the afternoon after the first day (unless you took the afternoon tour...), go to the Television Tower or to the Reichstag dome to see the city from above. The latter is free of charge, but has a long queue.

In the evening, either take a pub crawl (if this fits your age and personality) or just go to Potsdamer Platz Sony Centre, or Kollwitzplatz, or Boxhagener Platz, really - whatever is your taste!

In the next two days, go to museums or further tours (play along and change the plan accordingly): some of the city's best museums: German Historical Museum, Jewish Museum (not to be mixed with the "Holocaust Memorial"), Pergamon Museum, Nueu Nationalgalerie, Egyptian Museum, Picasso Berggruen Museum, Hamburger Bahnhof

Answer 2

the berlin wall

Answer 3

Brandenberg gate, kurfurstendamn (long shoppping street), alexanderplatz (big tv tower, great views in East Berlin), checkpoint charlie. Also go to the KaDeWe if you like to shop - is a massive department store on the kurfurstendamn with lovely german food and gifts.

Answer 4

The ex-Berlin wall

Answer 5

They have a really interesting museum about those who lived in East Berlin during the time where it was run by the Communists. Unfortunately, I forget what it's called, but the people I went on tour w/ found it rather fascinating as to how people used to sneak their relatives and loved ones out of that area. I'm sure you could ask the hotel clerk and they could point you in the right direction. Checkpoint Charlie was also amazing! Then there's the Brandenburg Gate. Seeing that was quite moving! There's also an arena where Hitler gave a speech during the 1942 (I think) Olympic games and it's eerie how desolate it is.

Answer 6

The site where the Berlin Wall once stood.

Answer 7

Obvious places the brandenburg gate and the riechstag building.  Then theres the checkpoint charlie museum and the gestapo "topography of terror" museum.  Hitler's fuhrerbunker isn't marked on many maps as such, but most locals know where it is (or was) and daily guided walking tours take in the site all the time as well as the former locations of the berlin wall and those few places where it still stands.  The former course of the wall is marked along the road near the brandenberg gate.  The tiergarten is nice and there is a Russian memorial to their fallen WW2 soldiers in the park with a couple of tanks - thereare several such memorials to the Red Army all over Berlin.  Further afield, the area around "zoo" station is worth exploring (the heart of old "West Berlin" which is now returning back towards the pre-WW2 ancient centre at the Brandenberg Gate), and even further out but worth a visit for any serious WW2 student is the suburb of Wansee on the lake where you can visit the "House of the Wannsee Conference" - the place where senior n***s met in January 1941 to discuss implenting the 'final solution'.  The house is a museum and has a nice position overlooking the lake.  If you're into that WW2 thing of course.
