Berlin - Post Report Question and Answers
What are some interesting/fun things to do in the area? Can you recommend any “hidden gems"?
See above. Be aware that, as cities go, Berlin is not particularly "well-indexed" on Google maps. There's a lot here that's not listed on Google maps or that is listed with incorrect hours. Be a hero and update Google maps entries. - Aug 2023
We enjoyed short trips to Copenhagen. - May 2018
Winter markets, Ritter chocolate store, Museum island, buying clothing by the (kilo!), Thuringer bratwursts, taking in a show at Friedrichstadt-Palast Berlin. There are a lot of things to do in the city, you just have to decide what you are interested in doing and not wait for someone else to make plans. - Jul 2015
Visit historical sites. Enjoy the smorgasbord that is German alcohol (not just beer, but also the varying fruit and vegetable Schaeps options.) Flea markets. Excellent museums (though they are not free.) - Aug 2013
