4 Days in Berlin?

First I would recomend to visit the official web site of Berlin: www.berlin.de This site is also available in English. There you can find infos about Hotels, where to eat, where to go etc. Transport: _________ In four days you can not see all, but surely you can visit many places. Berlin by bus or by surface rail ( S-Bahn) Subway ( U-Bahn ) is really confortable. You can buy a day-pass (Tageskarte) in any S-Bahn, U-Bahn Station or BVG - sell or service point, you can use this pass a day long and use whatever you want: bus, S-Bahn or U-bahn. I would recommend to stay in any hotel near to the Zoologischer Garten Bhf Surface and Subway also known as Bahnhof Zoo due to following reasons: 1. You are practically at the famous commercial street Kurfürstendamm, locally known as Ku'damm, which can be consider as Berlin's 5th Avenue. you will find there a lot of Restaurants, Stores, Department stores etc. . You also can visit the "Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church" (in German: Kaiser-Wilhelm - Gedächtniskirche) a WWII Memorial. 2. The public transport possibilities are just wonderful. In front of the station you will find a service point of the BVG and buy your ticket. There you can also take the bus number 100, which runs from Zoo station (Bahnhof-Zoo) and takes you to the most important places to visit in Berlin inner city as for example: Bellevue Palace ( residence of the President) The Reichstag building (a beautiful building where the parlament meets, and from which you can get a wonderful sight of Berlin if you go up to the top of the cupola) From the Reichtstag building you can continue by bus, but I would recomend to walk, because you are pretty near to Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate), I would say two minutes away by walking ;O) If you go through the gate and just walk straight ahead you will discover many interesting places such as: Adlon Hotel Alexander Humboldt University Museum Insel and many other museums and memorials The "Palast der Republik" ( Goverment Headquarter during the DDR) The Berlin Cathedral and it goes along til the famous television tower in Alexander Platz, where you can also visit the World Clock" . It is al pretty long distance (if you walk without visiting the museums it may take around three hours from Brandenbur gate til Alexander Platz, but it is worth to do it. you can also take the bus again anytime ;O) . In Alexander Platz you can also take the S-Bahn, any S-Banh going to Hauptbahnhof takes you to Zoo Bahnhof too. Near to Humboldt University (arund 5 minutes away by walking) you will find Gendarmenmarkt, dort you can visit the German and the French cathedrals ( Deutscher Dom und Französischer Dom) and the Concert Hall (in German: Konzerthaus). I would recommend to take max. two days for this tour, I mean, you will not see all, but the most important places. You can save time if you decide which museums are interesting for you, you will find more infos about the museums in the site above. From Bahnhof-zoo you can also take the bus number 109 or the bus number M45 to visit the palace Charlottenburg ( you may take the bus and ride til bus-stop "Luisenplatz/Schloß Charlottenburg". I will recomend you save a day to visit Potsdam a place located around 33 minutes away from Berlin. You can take at the Bahnhof Zoo the S-Bahn (surface rail) number S7 going to the Station "Potsdam Hauptbahnhof" or "S Potsdam Hbf". There you can visit the palace "Sanssouci" a Rococo Palace. In Potsdam you can also visit other places. A day-pass for the public transport in Postdam is recomendable. In the following site you will find all about Potsdam. The site is also in English available: http://www.potsdam.de/ I hope this will help you. I apologise if my english is not so good, I'm just practicing to lern more ;O)

All the usual things...but...the Egyptian Museum is closed and the collection has been moved to the Old Museum. The Bode Museum has now after many years re-opened. The collection specialises in early European art, so much of it is religious. The galleries of the German History Museum in the Zeughaus are now open with some very interesting exhibits from WWII and then later the communist GDR. You can visit the STASI Museum. The Pergamon cannot be missed. Naturally you will wish to visit Sanssouci at Potsdam. A one way two hour ticket for bus/Sbahn/Ubahn in zones A and B currently costs 2.10€. An all day ticket for the same zones costs 5.80€ Checkout http://www.berlin-explored.com I'm not sure about the availability of the book though. It does answer all your questions.

The " Ku Damm " is the main street. Check out the remants of the Berlin Wall, the new museum that is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the Holocaust. If you're into Egytology, go to the Agytisches Museum. Viel Spass ! Have fun !
