Extra Don't: NEVER stand on the left hand side of an escalator, it will get you some veeery annoyed comments. It is for people in a hurry, kind of like an express lane. There is a rhyme for that, too: "links gehen, rechts stehen" ("walk on the left, stand on the right").

A tip for everyone who wants to visit Berlin: you actually don’t have to book a sightseeing tour. Just buy a day pass and take the bus 100 to get around town. It drives to all the major attractions and runs every 5-10 minutes. You can step out at any time, and sometimes the bus drives even talks about some major landmarks (if you get a nice bus driver - not all do that!). A day pass is 7€ per person and is valid until 3am of the next day.

You missed quite possibly the important DONT while in Germany, one I see a LOT of people making the mistake of doing. Do NOT, EVER, for ANY REASON AT ALL, do the Hitler salute, goose step march or bring up Nazi questions to locals. A friend of mine spent a night in a German jail because she thought it would make a funny picture to do the Nazi salute in front of the Brandenburg Gate, unfortunately, the police officer standing a few feet away did not share that sense of humor and she ended up being deported the next day (a full week and a half short on her vacation) Germans in my experience do NOT find this behavior funny and will not tolerate it. You are likely to be imprisoned, fined, or evicted from the country. Best not to bring up WW2 at ALL except in a historical museum asking a curator or museum guide specific questions you may have.

As someone who lives in Berlin I'd have a request for all you tourists - Don't mistake cashiers for travel guides in the super market. I live in a tourist heavy area and it can get rather frustrating sometimes when the lines get longer and longer. Instead - pay, get out of line and THEN please ask a local around you. Most of us Berliners will be happy to help tourists and while we explain where the next bus station is or how to get to some location or other the Cashiers are free to do what they're supposed to :)
@LordDavid04 6 років тому

@f.c.laukhard3623 6 років тому
Well, the economy in Berlin is actually not that bad but somehow the administration is just shitty. And actually Bavaria was not economically successful immediately after the war and had to transform from an agricultural state into a modern state.. Also now Berlin already had quite a long time to improve as well and a lot of companies did move there so that excuse is a bit cheap. Also: Relax, I am not from Bavaria and it was originally meant as a little joke. Your reaction however indicates that I might have hit a weak spot, so sorry for that.

It’s true Bavaria has a much stronger economy , that I’m aware of , don’t know all the reasons , but yeah sorry that it came across as such I was lashing out or anything haha
@goytabr 6 років тому
Berlin is much more of a "do" city than a "don't" city. It's a fabulous, fabulous, fabulous place! A "long weekend" in Berlin is simply cruel - there's so much to do and see that you'll be terribly frustrated if you have a too short stay. And you'll be depressed on the day you leave - you won't want to! The best thing about Berlin is the energetic vibe - it sizzles with energy, people are always wanting to do something and so will you. It's perhaps the most positive city in Europe, and while others live on some long-gone glorious past, Berlin is always looking at the future. That, among many other things, sets it apart from all other European cities and make it a must-visit place.
@goytabr Рік тому
@@apegrasshoplizard, for my comment to be "propaganda", I'd have to be somehow linked to Berlin's government or some trade association from there, and to have some economic or political interest in that (in which case, a UKposts comment would be a terribly ineffective way of making propaganda!). As it happens, I'm not German or even European, I don't live in Europe, and *unfortunately* I haven't been able to visit Berlin in many years. As it happens, not only me, but there are many people who are absolutely in love with Berlin, for the same reasons I explained. Everyone is entitled to one's taste and you have the right not to like Berlin. It's YOUR taste. But being rude to people who don't share your taste is an entirely different story. Personally, I think that if that was your impression of Berlin, you went to the wrong places with the wrong people at the wrong time (talking about that, I was once in Berlin in winter, and it was still absolutely vibrant, far from dead!). Like any other major city (including Madrid and Barcelona), Berlin has beautiful places, has horrible ones, has posh and poor areas, has glittering and ruined neighborhoods. Your choice where to go. As for comparing it with Spain, it's comparing apples and oranges; they're totally different experiences and both with their own charms (which, in the case of Berlin, includes that "3rd world" touch in places like Kreuzberg, for example, which nonetheless has one of Europe's most vibrant and original cultural scenes, with experiences you won't find anywhere else). But if you disagree, that's OK. You don't have to go to Berlin. Stay in Spain, which obviously suffices to you as a world experience, and leave Berlin to those who can appreciate its uniqueness --- like me.

If I can add a couple of Don'ts. 1) If you're looking for a night out, don't think the 'center' of Berlin is really going to cater for you. After the shops close and the tourists go home, areas like Mitte and Unter Den Linden quickly become deserted. I'd say avoid places like Alexanderplatz too, the only bars around there are usually touristy, overpriced or restaurants. Instead head down to somewhere like Kreuzberg or Neukolln, which will keep you occupied until the sun comes up. 2) This is mostly for Brits, but don't miss out on kebabs! I know in the UK kebabs are famous for being kind of disgusting and something you'll only eat when you're drunk, but Berlin kebabs are phenomenal. Cheap, delicious and if you're in Neukolln - incredibly plentiful. Imren Grill at Rathaus Neukolln is particularly great. There's no social stigma about eating a kebab at 11am in Berlin.

Another tip: Buy the Berlin Welcome Card. It gives you free public transport. It is a slightly more expensive than the normal travel card. But it gives you discount on museums and other attractions, so if you visit more than one attraction you save money. I bought ABC zone, because then I could also use it to the airport on my way home.

The Ampelmannchen is an East German thing. It's commonly found all over what was the former East Berlin. They changed their traffic crossing lights to this iconic design. When the wall fell, there was talk of changing the traffic lights to that of the West, but there was the whole ostalgie movement which made the iconic character remain.

I wasn't hungry for a dinner so I thought I would just try the curry wurst at a small shop at the train station where my hotel was (Gesundbrunnen). So I tried the curry wurst meny (with fries) and a beer. less than 7 euro! And it was good sitting down after a long day. The man behind the desk, who did only speak German, brought it to me. Sitting down, observing other germans. The next time my hotel wasn't nearby Gesundbrunnen, but I still went there.

I just went to Berlin and relied mostly on your videos, had a great time, Thanks! The how to order and pay in restaurants was very helpful. One thing I learned was not to rely on the menu boards outside the restaurants. Had amazing food, but don't expect Italian American food at the Italians restaurants. Best meal was the DDR retro meal I had. Public transit was amazing, but remember to stamp your ticket or it's not valid. No issues with homeless people, but the streetwalkers were surprisingly aggressive! Learned not to avoid the bottled beers, although found a craft beer place that was the best beer I've ever had. Tried not to dress as an American, and several foreigners ask me for directions. A lot more jaywalkers than you said, but being from Boston I took your advice and remained among those waiting for the signal, didn't want to get in trouble. Some places definitely seemed to require money for the bathrooms, with even pay gates. Oh yes, you got to reserve a day a head to go up to the Reichstag.

@Mysterios1989 5 років тому
about the center of Berlin, there are even more than these 3. These 3 are the most touristy centers, but Berlin as a whole is a very decentralised city. At each step of the development, Berlin swallowed up cities around it to grow bigger, but in contrast to other areas, these cities stayed very distinct and maintained their regional identity to a large extend. For example, one of the last districts becoming part of Berlin is Zehlendorf, and that was just in 1920. Because of that, you keep often the very distinct city centers of each district, while these three centers mentioned here, are pretty much the touristy and inner city centers that most people know about.

This includes walking on the stones, sitting on them to eat/drink something, talking in louder voice than usual, running through it and more. I found it best to just slowly walk through; don't want to talk to anybody anyways when I'm in there... As far as I know, these aren't police officers, but more like private security. Still, just DON'T.

You can also take the AirportExpress trains to SXF/BER airport. They stop at all bigger stations (Zoo, Hauptbahnhof, Friedrichstraße, Alexanderplatz...) but skip the smaller ones. They run less frequent than the S9/S46, but are faster and in my opinion more comfortable. And they don't cost more! From Tegel you have 3 bus lines X9/109 (slower) to the Zoo/West, TXL to the center and East (don't expect it to run through to Alexanderplatz, it's often withdrawn to the central station because of high traffic/demonstrations, but you can change to the S lines further east), and 128 to the north. In most cases it's fastest to change to the S or U services after a couple of stops instead of staying on the bus. Your Bus ticket is also valid on the S, U and regional trains. From Tegel you need a ticket for zones AB, while from/to Schönefeld you need a ticket that includes the C zone (ABC in most cases, BC only if you stay off-center).
@emjayay 6 років тому
It's odd that with the comprehensive transit system Tegel is only served by buses, no U or S Bahn. It also seems like some regional airport in some small city. Sort of like the Burbank airport in LA. But I guess they were always going to close it in favor of the new one but never got there. If you end up there with a lot of time to kill pay a Euro or two to go hike around on the roof! By the way you can tour the now closed Flughafen Tempelhof, the Hitler airport used in the Berlin Airlift. Long tour and very interesting. I got a ticket ahead but at least in off season you could just show up at the right time. Tours in English on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 1:30 pm. www.thf-berlin.de/fuehrungen/english-guided-tours/ This is not an advertisement. Just something I did in Berlin that was great.

Oh, the tour of the half collapsed last WWII flak tower was also great once I found the ticket office nearby.
@NicolaW72 6 років тому
Dear emjayay - yes, they want to close Tegel as soon as the new airport BER is opening in the south of Berlin - which should be now somewhere in 2020 or 2021 (the original opening time should have been in 2012 - yes, in 2012!). But God alone nows if the new Berlin airport is opening in 2021 or in 2030 or in 2050 or ever and therefore the FDP (the Liberal Party) introduced a public voting in Berlin to let Tegel stay open and to modernise its infrastructure - and they got really the majority of the votes at this voting - but the Government of the city of Berlin and its Governing mayor are rejecting this. They stated that they don´t care about public votes on this topic - and therefore Tegel airport is at the moment the hotest political spot of policy making in the city of Berlin. And btw: Burbank airport in LA is a much bigger and a much better linked airport than Tegel! Try to arrive in Schoenefeld if you´re travelling to Berlin!
@jazzman5115 6 років тому
The Tegel Airport from the beginning on was only meant to be used for a limited period of time as far as I know. Has been used for way longer now. And yes, many people don't want to close it because the BER Airport that takes years and years to be opened (I probably won't even see it opening anymore if it's going on like that..) is already too small to serve all the passengers.
@xaverlustig3581 6 років тому
No Tegel was not really meant for a limited time. They've been planning to extend an U-Bahn line into the airport since the 1950s, and there are provisions for the branching at nearby station Jungfernheide. But somehow they never got round to build it.
