I love shopping in Berlin. Great quality clothing.

I loved this city. Easy to travel for biginner backpacker. Artistic, historical but also modern. Transport is easy, punctual and clean but expensive. Nice people. Breakfast in St. christpher's Inns was pretty good.

Berlin is an amazing place full of wonders and hidden beauty. You'll need more than a weekend to fully explore the place, but it'll be worth it. Don't forget to get a kebab, the best kebabs in Europe are to be found in Berlin.

Too many things to say bout it so i'll briefly tell u 2 clubs i've been: PANORAMA BAR amazing, ex soviet electric power plant near Ostbanhof; strangest place where u can dance, go only f u dont like rules. WATERGATE lovely in front of the river and Kreuzberg bridge, floor visual on 2 floor simply unique. Useless to say top dj's play there and prices are fair.

Go on one of the free walking tours in Berlin - they meet in Pariser Platz every day.

Make sure you always have some cash on you if you dont have a credit card. There is hardly anywhere in Berlin Visa Electron would be accepted.

Doner Kebaps -any streetcorner - get it, eat it, love it!

Even if you see nothing else, walk along the East Side Gallery, a section of the Berlin Wall grafitied by a group of international artists. It's a shame that people feel a need to write messages on it, but it's still worth seeing.

the DDR museum is really fun, it`s like being thrown back in time.

I highly recommend buying the city tour bus pass, it allows you access to most of the city and runs all day long. Find a site that sounds interesting and get off to look around (head-set provides descriptions as the bus approaches each site). Also, get used to using the subway, it's invaluable for getting around. I'm sure everyone says this, but I'll re-iterate that Checkpoint Charlie is a must-see. The museum is such a powerful reminder of the atrocities that took place on the other side of the wall and I was absolutely amazed by all the ways people escaped.
