Tags: Berlin, best things to do in Berling, Checkpoint Charlie, fun things to do in Berlin, Pergammon Museum, places to go in Berling, things to do in Beling, where to go in BerlingBerlin is waiting for you, and I am sure this city worth your visit, you will not be disappointed. If you plan to visit Berlin, bear in mind these little things listed bellow!
Here are the things to do in Berlin:
1. Berlin Zoo (Berliner Tiergarten) is Europe’s biggest Zoo, and got very famous once again through the birth of Knut, a polar bear cube. Knut became a media star, and was very beloved.
2. East Side Gallery. These are nothing more than graffiti paintings on the remaining of the Berlin Wall (Berlinermauer), made by artists from 21 countries. It is a liberation cry!
3. The paintings Gallery (Gemaeldegallerie). Located in Potsdamer Platz, it offers the world’s Rembrandt’s biggest collection.
4. Potsdamer Platz. watch it, is a wonderful square. Take some shots, and think a little on its photo from 1945, after the fall of Berlin!
5. Checkpoint Charlie. Here you could pass officially from the East to the West Berlin during the cold war. Unofficially, you could climb the wall anywhere, jeopardizing your life. You could experience by yourself crossing the border, but today there is no danger anymore. You can also hear a lot of escape stories (some of them ended dramatically)
6. Reichstag, the symbol of democratic parliamentary power, which was rebuilt after the war, having a glass dome. From that dome, any visitor can watch the Parliament working.
6. Schloss Charlottenburg. A magnificent baroque Prussian royal palace. City biggest palace. Rebuild after the WWII.
7. Jewish Museum. The jews live in Germany since 2000 years. With the exception of the Adolf Hitler regime, the relations were peaceful. Visiting the museum, you will understand that the Germans are not Jewish killers…not anymore. 
8. Berlin hinterland, consisting on forests, lakes and beaches. There is a long tradition about swimming naked, so you must be very careful.
9. Pergammon Museum, one of the world’s best history museum. One of the most important pieces is the rebuilt Ishtar Gate from the ancient Babylon.
10. Berlin Radisson Hotel, with the world’s biggest aquarium

Hi, I had missed your comment on my blog, but I’ve just discovered, and yes, I’m happy to link to you. Lovely blog!
I would love to visit the museums and check out the amazing aquarium…:D
i’d love to see that pergammon museum, being a sucker of ancient history

You need to retranslate point 7. It currently reads that you deny the Holocaust. You may of course believe that, but based on the rest of the point I suspect you’ve just chosen the wrong words.
Hey,
I have never been to Berlin but, I really want to go and those museums sound cool!
What is the absolute most fun thing to do in Berlin? :p
I think the most fun thing to do in Berlin is sitting in a beach chair with a drink and your toes in the sand – in the middle of the city…
If you like music try out the electic music scene. If you remember the Beattles and many other bands performed there in the 60s. Cafe Courage is another place you could go to. It is amazing – lively atmosphere and so different. Berliner love their music and so much happening there in that scene. Try the Kaffe Burger, White Trash (decorated like a flea market & 2nd hand shop)the overarching theme is a blend of Texan and Chinese aesthetics. Do a google on the music scene in Berlin and you will be amazed at what you can find. Hope this has helped.

I’ve been eyeing these for some time and finally made the purchase. Family and friends really like – so much so, in fact, that they’ve been ordered for others once seen. The design is adorable and unique, and the quality exceptional. Woof!
Probably, like most people, I was not a fan of Handbags when they first gained popularity a few years back.Just got my timberland boots,My boyfriend was excited about his new boots.They are absolutely beautiful, and the quality is just amazing.No wearing them in, no blisters just absolutely snug strait out of the box.
com The pictures shown on website match well as the goods shipped.Probably, like most people, I was not a fan of timberland boots when they first gained popularity a few years back.One more thing the day I bought it a few days later i could see the same watch available at a more amount. The watch is great and the price I would have loved it much more . I have always complained about cold, wet feet in the winter, and this one has been no exception, until a friend of mine recommended I buy a pair of UGG boots.I have owned this phone for 5 months. I would not swap it for any other phone on the market. I hope it lasts forever. My purpose for having a cell phone is to make phone calls, period. It does that job the way I want it to – easily, quickly and with great sound quality. I can afford any cell phone available and I wouldn’t swap this phone for the ones that cost several times the price. It is simply the best looking, classiest one out there.
Do not go to the Whitetrash, the place is a SCENE and nothing more, tourist trap. There are better clubs and bars in Berlin such as Magnet, 8mm, and Lime bar. Club nme happened to be on which gave a pleasent suprise. No dickheads like |KOKO

Hi! No, most of us indeed aren’t (and never were!) Jew slayers.
the polar bear cube must be amazing, I haven’t seen it yet, must go! Unique! Some years ago, we had a little polar bear cub, also called Knut. (Pronounce: Cnoot)
One thing really bothers me, though: Why do you tell people to be careful about naked swimmers??? Come on, don’t be stuck up! You just swim, for christ’s sake, without clothes, it’s not offensive, it’s not sexist, it’s just very natural and nice.
Sadly, it’s rather out of fashion, now.

The last time that I was in Dusseldorf – I had every intention of visiting Berlin but fate intervened and I was a gain denied the opportunity [ flight cancellations and appointments to keep in Turkey]. I so want to see Checkpoint Charlie and the remanants of East Berlin….I will get there…maybe Spring of 2012.
