   Berlin's most instantly recognisable landmark is one of the world's most beautiful gates. How it wasn't blown up in either World War though is beyond me!

I went to university in Berlin and the thesis I had to complete was on Potsdamer Platz and it's different eras. It is the huge new shopping district in Berlin and the aim was to banish the ghosts of Berlin's past. It really has the "wow" factor when it comes to the architecture and the Sony Centre alone will leave you gobsmacked! Moving on to the most important thing "the shopping", the shopping here is great the mall has everything you need and there is a great cinema there as well that plays films in English(came in very handy when I lived there!). I know this area inside out and I love it so I can highly recommend it for the architecture, shopping and history!close

   Be prepared to wait along time unless you go either very early(opens at 10.00Am or very late, Last entry at 11.00PM.). The queues can get very long and their is normally a wait of about an hour at busy times. When I went the wait was about 30mins.

The queues can get very long and their is normally a wait of about an hour at busy times. When I went the wait was about 30mins. The wait depends on the number of people already inside. Some day's there is no Entry Permitted due to the parliament being in session. Security is tight but the entrance is brilliant and a testament to the designer. Once inside your taken up to the famous glass dome by elevator and the scenery is amazing! To get to the top you must first walk up a flat gangway that spirals around the inside of the dome. There is also access to the roof where ,if you are prepared to battle the freezing winds, are some amazing photo-ops. The restaurant is normally full and pre-booking is needed. Can't tell you what it's like though as it was closed the night I went. The Reichstag is worth the visit and is a must see in Berlin.close

   Great stories and history to read about at this museum but just way too much info to get through and the museum is usually packed so you are pushed along rather than being able to take your time. It gets very hot in there as well. I would recommend the visit but prepared to get frustrated.

   The Berlin Wall was erected in 1961 to divide Berlin into East and West. It was 160km long, but now only bits remain.

   I'm not what you would describe as a religious person but the Berliner Dom is the most amazingly beautiful church i've ever been to. It is the largest protestant church in Berlin I belive. This place is interesting and fantastic. The walk to the top of the dome iwill test you but its well worth... more I'm not what you would describe as a religious person but the Berliner Dom is the most amazingly beautiful church i've ever been to.

Another must do/see in Berlin. I didnt like the 5 euro entrance fee. All other churches and cathedrals are freeclose

I took their 4 hour "Famous Walk" and the Guide Brian was brilliant! He knew his things and was really good in telling History in an interesting way. He was sooo passionate that i could almost see the places coming back to Berlin. He showed us all the main things, but also told and showed us the more hidden places! Great time! we learned a lot! Later on that night, we joined their pub crawl which was really a lot of fun! They gave us free Beer at the start and then free shots in the Bars and even in between the Bars! The people were great and it was cool to meet so many different people from all over the world! The Club we ended up at was great, even though i was quiet drunk by then (hihi) Both Tours meet at Hackescher Markt, the Walking Tour at 10.30am and the Pub Crawl at 8.35pm. www.insidertour.comclose
