Answer 1

In Berlin, there is a-lot to do for instance....

1.   Visit the Jewish Museum. A fascinating look at the history of Jewish life and culture in Germany over the past two millennia, plus an area that covers the Holocaust in compelling, unsentimental fashion. The gift shop stocks a wide variety of Judaic as well as books in German and English.

2.  Go to Berlin Zoo. With around 14,000 animals, this is one of the biggest and most impressive zoos in Europe. The adjacent aquarium, featuring hundreds of species of fish, reptiles and insects, is also a must-see. And don’t forget the petting zoo, where very tame sheep, goats and other animals mingle with the human visitors – as much fun for grown-ups as it is for kids!

3.  Go to the Film Museum. Located in the ultra-modern Potsdamer Platz, this excellent museum traces the history of German movies from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis to Run Lola Run. German stars such as Marlene Dietrich are also covered and there’s a fascinating, disturbing look at n**i film propaganda. The complex also houses a cinema, the Filmhaus which plays host to the Berlin Jewish Film Festival every June
