Berlin - Post Report Question and Answers

What have been the highlights of your time in this country? Best trips or experiences?

Kayaking in the Spreewald. It's far and away my most magical memory in Germany (and is a profoundly East German thing to do). The Long Night of Museums. The Grunewald. Formula E at Tempelhof. The zoo and Domäne Dahlem. Thaipark. Street festivals. Karl's strawberry farms. Christmas markets. The philharmonic. All the magical Berlin playgrounds. The Schöneberg city pool. Tropical Islands (don't judge me). There are many adventures to be had outside of Berlin and outside Germany, but I'm trying to name things here that are truly Berlin. - Aug 2023


German tourism is done with efficiency and a lot of box checking, but not much passion. Hotels are basic. AirBNB is strictly limited here. Berlin is fairly far from anything else interesting, so day trips are tough. However, if you like flying, there are tons of discount airline flights to awesome places around Europe. - May 2018

Highlights are personal to the individual. In general, Berlin and Germany offer a host of trips and experiences depending on your interests and preference. You will not tire or exhaust all there is to do or offer. - Jan 2018
