Our Gear:
We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

Guide to city trains:
1) S-Bahn, the overground train network that sometimes goes underground
2) U-Bahn, the underground train network that sometimes goes overground

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").

Who takes a taxi in Europe. When I travel I always use public transport, it's cheap and boost your confidence about finding youself in different places.

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.

Hah Berlin. Thats my Hometown. Its so great and wonderful. I miss Berlin.
Please don't buy public transportation tickets in the hotel. Its a trap. It costs 13€ per day, 20€ per two days and 36€for 4 days. At the ticket machines or ticket shops is a day ticket 7€. And a 7-Day Ticket costs 30€. Much cheaper. The AB-Ticket is the best for you. Usually you don't need the C-Ticket Zone. C Is for Potsdam, Oranieburg, Straußberg etc.

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 :)

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.

I’m from Berlin and I’ve heard so many other German people say that Berlin doesn’t feel like Germany because it’s so different

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.

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.

As a Berliner I agree with all of these except jaywalking.. we jaywalk all the time in Berlin.. other cities they don’t but Berlin yes!
Also another don’t: don’t take one of those tour buses: you can just take the normal 100 or 200 bus and it will go by most sights you want to see and doesn’t cost much just a regular bus ticket!

I've visited Berlin 3 times in the last 12 months. Each time I find new exciting things.

The 1st time we did a self guided tour of the main buildings. And drank a lot.

The 2nd time we found museums and drank a lot

This 3rd time we found loads of shops and restaurants and drank alot.

Berlin is a beautiful city full of wonderful sights and great people.

I loved Ostkruez. The bars the resturants the nightlife. Was sooo good.

I'm not much of a traveler, but have enjoyed your videos for a long time.  Have to say, you have the most informative, easiest to understand, most down to earth approach and information to share.  Congrats - great channel!! And thanks.

When the Wall came down, my girlfriend at the time was a private nurse. She threw together a gym bag of clothes and flew to Berlin to dance on the Wall. Took a sledge hammer to it and hauled back a chunk of it. Customs wondered what the hell it was until she explained. I recall all this because she called me at 2 in the morning to come to SFO to pick her up.

My now fiancée proposed to me in Berlin, we visited just before Christmas 2017, we absolutely loved our visit to Berlin, do much to see and do, the only problem was our feet aching at the end of the day from walking around so much!

My special tip for the Reichstag:
On the top, there is a restaurant.
You can reserve a table, just have a coffee and skip the line :)

I am from Berlin and this video made me soo happy! You did an amazing job :D
You are so euphoric and excited, I love it! And I have to say that you have an amazing pronunciation of the german words. It is great to see that someone who appreciates Berlin so much because I often feel like foreigns don't really get the true vibe of the city.
