I love Currywürste, but you have to know where to find them in Berlin. I used to go to a lovely place in front of the Memorial Church, but I don't remember its name. So:

a) Do you happen to know the name of that place?

b) What's the best place for Currywürste in Berlin, in your opinion?

c) I've heard wonders about a restaurant near Mehrindgamm subway station. Have you ever been there?

We are wanting to be a bit flexible and leave our options open to fly Berlin Geneva on either Sun 27th or Mon 28th , depending on how much fun we are having - there are flights available on Easyjet on both days, but much cheaper on the Monday. My question is - do you think its best to make up our mind before we leave to europe on 17th July and look at the situation once there? Is is safe to just gamble on a stand by ticket - they may get expensive closer to departure. Any feedback appreciated.
Have tried Wotif of hotels , not bad between 55 and 75 euros, any other central accom recommended?
Do you have any comments on Easyjet generally - reliability etc
Thank you

Hi Guys,

I will be in Berlin for about a day. To be specific, I will reach there at around 3 PM and depart next morning at 8am. Since it is a very short period, I would like to utilize it best way possible and need your help on:

1. Please help me out with the hotel which is right next to the train station as I need to catch a morning train to Prague.
2. It would be great if the hotel is a clean one but cheap.
3. Any tour guide who provides city tour that starts around 5 pm.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot,

Hi everybody, I am spending 4 days in Berlin middle of September with my husband. We are looking for a nice but not so expensive accomodation (I have already checked many tips but the hotels I like are really too expensive), centrally located (near Ku'damm or Mitte) and possibly not too big. I'd love a small hotel or a bed&breakfast.
Thanks!

Can anyone let me know how can i find a bus from Flensburg to Berlin.

Hey everybody,

Since we're visiting Berlin this summer, I was wondering if there are any "all-you-can-eat"-restaurants in Berlin.

Thanks a lot!

i'll be in berlin on june 24 for 1 day only. i'd be so glad that if anyone can help me to have a friendly guide for a sightseeing tour in berlin, afternoon and including evening if possible. thanks.

According to the site the Reichstag is closed during our visit (19-21 July)

does this mean the restaurant is also closed or can we see the view from the terrace?
thanks

I'm planning to go to Berlin with 6 friends (so 7 ppl in total) and i've read some stuff on this site (cant really find such a helpful site elsewhere)...i need some final advice though...

1) I and my friends love walking around during the day...we also love the nightlife (who doesnt?! lol)...so my question is: what's the best part of the city to stay in with both daytime\night-time stuff and with no public transport need? Mitte? Friedrichstraße?

2) I've obviously checked few hostels...but what are the best (and cheapest) ones in the 1) area ?

Just to clear my needs: a friend of mine wants to go to Prague...AGAIN! I've been there twice and he did 4 times...it's beautiful, but i definitively need something else! :D
So, I need to submit him a cheap\good trip in Berlin, since I'm really looking forward to go there!
Any advice is really appreciated.
Thx in advance,
Luca

Please can someone give me a step by step instruction to get from the airport to this station

many thanks

We will be in Berlin from Saturday to Wednesday. Seeing that most of the Museums will be closed on the Monday is it worth it to get the pass? I think the days have to be consecutive right?
We would like to visit the Pergamon,the Charlotteberg Palace,the Gemaldegallerie ,Jewish Museum and maybe also one or two other places.Also any thoughts on something good to do on the Monday?
thanks

I'm planning to stay at hotel near to my workplace. Kindly add suggestions.

I'm looking at these forum, are most of them are related to tourism, so could not find any relevant information. Any kind of information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

I am heading to Berlin on the 17th of June and will stay for two nights. I will be in Amsterdam and some other parts of Holland and then Antwerp before heading to Germany. I need some recommendations for hotels to stay, food, shopping, best things to see and where to go for the best night life (good dj's with electronica/house dance music).

Also, any recommendations for Antwerp I would additionally appreciate.

Thank you!!

Hello, everyone:
We are very excited to be visiting Berlin during last two weeks of July.
TWO WEEKS !!!
Many visitors come here, to Mexico City, and are always very excited when they post their questions on these travel forums, and now I know how they feel.

We just don't know what part of the city to stay: we're trying to book hotel in advance but would like some advice. Our problem is, we come from third-world country (Mexico) and bring our third-world earnings to spend in a very expensive first-world city. Trying to find hotel for under 70 euros, but still with air-conditioning and normal amenities (like maybe internet??).

I just don't know where to start looking: namely, which part of the city. Obviously we wish to stay centrally and not spend a lot of time every day traveling the S and U bahns just to get to the general area that we'd like to see.

In most other European capitals it's easier: you just stay in the old, central part of town where you normally find lots of cheap hotels. But of course Berlin is different.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Hi,

I'm planning to go to a festival in Delitzsch (Germany) in July (I'm English, so I'll be coming from the UK), and I'll be travelling alone. I'm looking to Fly into Berlin-Schönefeld late on Thursday night (landing at 22:45 local time), get a train to the festival early Friday, then fly back Monday in the late afternoon.

The problem I have is that I'd rather not risk leaving my plane tickets, and more importantly my passport, in my tent while I'm off enjoying myself. So, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of possible places which I could store my valuables for 3 nights?

I’ll be flying in and flying out from Berlin-Schönefeld, as well as going via Berlin Hauptbahnhof on the Thursday night (heading to the hotel), Friday morning (heading the festival), and Monday (on my way back to the airport). I'm aware that there's a left luggage office, as well as luggage lockers at airport, and there's a left luggage office at train station. Does anyone have experience with these and can recommend either way?

If anyone thinks that me leaving such valuable items in locker/luggage office is a really really bad idea, please tell me - because I’d really rather not find this out the hard way.

Thanks,

Andrew

I am a New Zealand artist and musician traveling with my musician partner and our 6 year old child. We are currently in Bejing, where I'm doing an artist residency and flying to Berlin on the 1st of July.

We've never been to Europe before but have heard very good things about Berlin in regard to both the art and music scenes. We are interested in staying there at up to a year all going well. We have already found a school which looks very interesting for international kids but we're concerned about where we'll live.

Can anyone tell me of English language sites worth looking at for apartment rental? we'll be on a limited budget.

Also we had heard that Prenzlauer Berg was a good place for art etc but is that now getting overpriced? Does anyone have any idea of the average rentals?

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with my search to find an area to rent an apartment in Berlin.

I'll be in Berlin to do some internship/work experience in September 08 and am wondering where a good area is to rent in for someone on a budget (but not too small a budget)? I'd still like to be fairly central.

If anyone could give me some pointers as to where to look for an apartment (websites or good areas), or any other tips, I'd be very grateful. Thank you!
