berlin city
Large city. I find the difference between east and west still evident in the number of shops bars restaurants ect.
Insider Tip:Check reviews before booking. I forgot and went to the amadeus (big mistake).
While it was synonymous with a divided Germany for so many years in the past, Berlin now symbolizes the unification of the country. Today the German Parliament sits here to discuss issues affecting the country just footsteps away from the Brandenburg Gate, a reminder of both division and unity. The German capital also makes for the perfect city destination, with plenty to do both before and after dark.
Located at the top of Unter den Linden in Berlin, Museumsinsel is where you will find the German capital's main museums. These include the Altes Museum and Pergamonmuseum. In this podcast Hostelworld.com's Colm Hanratty speaks to Mechtild Kronenburg from the National Museums of Berlin to find out about these museums and more.

The Altes Museum (Old Museum) is one of the best while the Neues Museum (New Museum) is also nice to visit The Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery) is only when you have plenty of time but Pergamon Museum is a must. For Bode, for one who love Antique and Byzantine art.
Insider Tip:Buy the musuem card then try to enjoy berlin museum as much as you can
Berlin is one of my favorite cities in the world. There is anything for everyone and its a very crazy place to check out.
If u are young (or have a young soul/spirit) and you are in Germany, you cannot miss Berlin. In the city you have thousands of cultural sights and activities, from high class clubs, to alternative and undergrounds afterhours where you can party even from sunday to monday evening And, compared with the rest of West European cities, is def the cheapest.
Insider Tip:You cannot miss the awesome burgers located under the U1 station Schlesisches Tor. Really, a great and cheap place to eat if you are around east Berlin (Just across the river if u are in the East Side Gallery
I really enjoyed touring around Berlin, especially on the alternative city tour I took, but I was surprised how modern/non-artistic many of the buildings looked. There is plenty of street art to make up for the generic building styles
Insider Tip:The city is big and can be confusing so make sure you have clearly detailed road and UBahn/SBahn maps

Berlin is Germany's best known city due to its turbulent history. But that's all in the past now and Berlin is a city looking forward. It offers travellers the perfect mix of sightseeing, history and culture. On top of that it has a stomping nightlife and endless (yet reasonable) restaurants.
