We have already seen so much and been to so many places, i had no idea Berlin had so much to offer!
The Tour of the Reichstag was interesting and I would recommend it to anyone, even if you're not a history lover, the information and the building itself is astounding! You take the short lift ride all the way to the dome which has a tall mirror tower in the middle and two ramps curving right to the top! The views are brilliant and the (free) tour guide on a mini phone was good to listen and not too heavy on the history/past.
The Brandenberg gate is just as stunning as it looks on postcards/films, and it always seems to be packed full of people taking pictures right by it. The Hotel Adlon is to the left of the Gate, and looks as expensive as it is big! Of course thats where the infamous picture/clip of the late singer Michael Jackson dangled his child from the window ten years ago and where the intense film Unknown was filmed! (Would recommend that film too, to anyone who enjoys Liam Neeson films, great acting and seeing Berlin too)
On Sunday, we visited the Maumarket which was a little further afield for us living in the South West but it was well worth the trip. It has clothes/jewelry/vintage/music/food/antique stalls that offer bargains to the locals and tourists and is on every Sunday, so I will definitely be going back there!
For lunch we walked further West and decided on a small African style menu, which did very good and cheap food. I definitely think going to cafes/restaurants/bars that are off the main road are well worth a look, not only for the prices but for the atmosphere, food and general different flavor to the place.
Tomorrow, us girls are heading to a different club, with Pop/Indie music, which I'm hoping will be more my style! Two others are off to a Noel Gallagher gig which sounds good, and others are hitting other nightclubs in the city! Hopefully it will be a good and fun night, and thought I have already gotten myself (and others) lost, I have always smiled and laughed about it the next day!
Cheers to the weekend! PROST!
