The East Side Gallery is the longest remaining strip of the of the former dividing wall between East and West Berlin. Today the 1.3 kilometer long wall stands as a memorial to freedom and it is covered in art and graffiti. Right now we're visiting Brandenburg Gate. This gate dates back to the 18th Century. We're here at Tiergarten, one of the biggest parks in the city. MauerPark is a hipster hangout. If you head over to the Bear Pit you can catch some karaoke and musical performances. If you want to spot some cool street art, then head over to Friedrichshain. You can't come to Berlin and not eat a Currywurst! This is the city's most popular fast food snack. The sausage is served with a ketchup and curry powder concoction. Up next we're at the Reichstag building which has a pretty cool glass dome on top. This dome is actually open to visitors and it offers 360 degree views of the city. Today we're visiting Tempelhof, a re-purposed airport here in Berlin for leisure activities and sports. If you enjoy museums and art galleries you'll want to visit Berlin's Museum Island. They actually have five different museums here and if you get a daily pass for 18 Euros you get access to all five. We are now visiting the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. It is also known as the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Charlottenburg Palace is the largest palace in Berlin and the only surviving royal residence in the city. Checkpoint Charlie was one of the crossing points between East Berlin and West Berlin during the Cold War. Located near Alexanderplatz, The Berlin TV Tower offers a great lookout over the city. Chocolate! Ritter Sport is a chocolate brand that is sold all over Germany, and while in Berlin we couldn't resist sampling a few of the different varieties. Berlin Cathedral is located on Museum Island and it's one of the most beautiful churches in the city. If Currywurst is to your liking, you'll want to check out this quirky museum devoted to Berlin's favorite sausage. Renting a bike is a great way to get around the city. Most places will rent out bikes at 10 Euros per day. For a leisurely afternoon, hop on a boat and enjoy a tour down the River Spree. Of course, you cannot come to Berlin and not eat a Wurst or a sausage. The Friedrichshain flea market takes place every Sunday and it's a great place for people watching and a little browsing. The Germans sure know how to enjoy a hearty breakfast, and we recommend you try it too.
We couldn't resist visiting yet another cat cafe while we were in Berlin.
While in Berlin we enjoyed a hearty meal of Schnitzel. It's quite easy to get around Berlin using the U-bahn and S-bahn system. In Berlin, there is a big Turkish population and that means there is awesome Turkish street food. And that's Berlin for you! A city that has risen from the ashes of the war, which is now bursting with art, music, and life.

Fantastic Samuel & Audrey. Berlin looks amazing and you captured and edited this video so well. All the food looks amazing, especially those currywursts and the finale schnitzel. And was that a Korean style tornado potato I saw in there? Great production.

Just landed in Berlin this morning. Only been here for a few hours and it's already my favourite city in Europe. My wife and I have been traveling Europe for a couple months now. As soon as we landed in Berlin, it was the most inviting and accepting city we've ever seen. Nice change from Rome, where everyone makes shitty remarks because we have tattoos and people we're trying to rip us off constantly because we're foreigners

[beatsteak]

One thing you forgot is the nightlife... There are a lot of awesome clubs. Nightlife on the streets, bars. You always meet new people.

[MartaKulesza]

Great to see the Berlin's attractions on he video. The guy in dancing in Mauerpark cracks me up. I am glad you liked Berlin. 

[dreww]

Enjoyed the video. That Turkish Donair looks mighty fine. Talk about a healthy portion of food. Berlin looks a cool city to visit as well as being affordable.

I live in Berlin and i can tell you a few good things to do in the summer.. Go chill on a park, take a picnic and chill, I like the small one on boxhagner square, its small and in my neighbourhood, get beer, we love a good beer! There is a great artisan Beer place in Wedding and the beer is like 8.5%! Try falafal, we have amazing falafal here! Go raving, we love our techno and we love a good rave! Get strawberrys from the little strawberry vans! Get home made ice cream in friedrichshain, it literally gets a que all the way up the street! Dont go to tourist trap night clubs, here are my fave local clubs, Berghain of course ( on a Sunday), Arena, Tresor (Saturday is usually my fave night) about blank, sisyphos ( super fun to go whilst tripping) Kitkat ( Gegan and same bitches are my fave parties there) Go shopping in friedrichshain, it has amazing little boutiques also kreutzburg does too. Hire a bike for a day and explore, Prenzlauerberg has some pretty parks. Go to some cocktails bars, Fairy tale bar is Alice in wonderland themed and soooo cute, deffo recomend. Minimal bar is my fave local, its chill and has good music and a ping pong table.. Club divissionaire is also a nice chill bar.. Excuse my spellings of things, it is so bad but if you google it, it will correct it, I just cba. Go to a spa, Vabali or liquidrome.. Those are just a few of the things I do in my spare time! Enjoy!

I love it that you found ALF just chilling at the Currywurst museum!! Thats exactly where i thought he might retire too :)

[Louise-]

I've been born and raised in Berlin and didn't even know that there is a Currywurst Museum and Cat Cafes :D, but I would actually recommend eating Schnitzel in Austria or at least Bavaria.
Also your pronunciation of Döner is hilarious :) No offense, I love you guys and I think you've listed some pretty cool things in this video

[Zimtbiss]

I love Berlin, it´s my home town, I love to live here.
There are many beautiful places. Dependig on how much time a visitor has, there are many more places to go than the usual tourist attractions.

I was in Berlin last year for a few days with some friends, loved it. I can understand and speak german very well, but not fluently. But enough to be understood. I didn't study german at school, I'm self learned.
