Question

What are the top 3 things a first-time vistor to Berlin should see/do?

Answer 1

Anywhere but Berlin.......

Answer 2

surely the turist´s top three would be:

Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche in ku-dam

Berliner Dom mit Lustgarten

Museumsinsel

but if you really want to feel berlin, try to go out of the turist atractions, and try to walk through the canal in kreuzberg from görlitzer strasse until kottbusser tor, especially on fridays (there´s a turkey market there), or see the streets of friedrichshain with the many cultural movements like punks, indies, new hippies and - beware - n***s. Go to drink a coffee or a sunday brunch in the Kollwitzerstrasse in Prenzlauer Berg, try a place in the fine restaurant in Zionkirchesplatz where you eat as much you want and pay as much you want as well, eat a sausache in Alexanderplatz, go to see the museum in the small and beautiful Köpernick, watch a movie in the cinemas of Hackescher Markt, visit the gates of Babilon in the pergamon museum...

Berlin is a wonderful place to visit, to live, to fall in love with...

Answer 3

Hi there...I've visited Berlin a number of times...most memorable:  Brandenburg Tur, Holocaust Museum (though very sobering) & Checkpoint Charlie.  Take the city bus tour...see the top sites at a glance with a bit of explanation from someone who knows. Hop on & off when you see something you want to explore.  I also visited the Reichstag building at night...phenomenal views of the city.  Not in the top three, but worth a visit.

Enjoy your visit~
