When you rescue a dog, you gain a heart for life.
Handle every situation like a dog. If you can't Eat it or Chew it. Pee on it and Walk Away.

| It's a great city but be prepared to do a lot of walking.
The Brandenburg Gate is a must see as is the Reichstag (get to that early to avoid huge queues). Not sure if the cupola (glass dome) on the roof has reopened but that offers excellent views of the city. Potsdamer Platz is very good for restaurants, cafes and shops.
Berlin Zoo is very good and be sure to visit the East Side Gallery which is a portion of the Berlin Wall around 1km long which has been covered in paintings by artists. There are plenty of excellent museums if you fancy a bit of culture including the very sombre but fascinating Jewish Museum.
Also visit Checkpoint Charlie with its famous signs indicating the former US and USSR sectors. Be prepared for large crowds there though.
In general I found the nightlife to be quiet, although I was there midweek.

| Would definitely recommend one of the walking tours around the city. You get to see a lot of the sites with very informative guides and also get to see some of the things you wouldn't normally if you were just walking on your own.
We did two when we where there - a city tour and the concentration camp (which I can't remember the name of). Can't recommend enough.

The name of the camp is Sachsenhausen, it's to the north of the city. It's spooky and very humbling! An English speaking tour bus wont be to hard to find and it's a 'must' because you would miss so much if you didn't. The city's history is amazing and it's all right there in you face, in the old east of the city you can still see the strike marks on the buildings from the fierce gun battles with the Russians. The same street lights still stand on Unter den Linden (Under The Linden Tree's) that they hung German objectors and Jews alike. A beautiful boulevard with a dark history, like most of the city I guess!
I've been away to long to recommend the night life i'm afraid!

| Didn't do much nightlife, but I can recommend the walking tours and the tv tower. The Gedachtniskirche was covered in scaffolding but is supposed to be spectacular.
For a thoughtful hour or two visit the Topography of Terror museum on the site of the old Gestapo HQ (some of which is still there).
