Berlin is the capital city of Germany and one of the 16 states (Länder) of the Federal Republic of Germany. Berlin is the largest city in Germany and has a population of 4.3 million within its metropolitan area and 3.4 million within the city limits. Berlin is best known for its historical associations as the German capital, for its lively nightlife, for its many cafes, clubs, and bars, and for its numerous museums, palaces, and other sites of historic interest. Berlin's architecture is quite varied: though badly damaged in the final years of World War II, Berlin has reconstructed itself greatly, and it is now possible to see representatives of many different historic periods in a short time within the compact city center, from a few surviving medieval buildings near Alexanderplatz, to the ultramodern glass and steel structures in Potsdamer Platz.

Kastanienallee is a street packed with shops, cafes and ethnic food restaurants. If you're bored with more conventional clothing brands, on Kastanienallee (and the streets crossing it) you can find some unique pieces of clothing with a reasonable price. If you're in a shopping spree and in Berlin, this place is a must. It's also nice to have an extensive (and cheap) brunch in one of its cafes after a heavy night of clubbing. Because of its nice, artsy vibe I can recommend Kastanienallee to anyone who is visiting Berlin. 84 days, 18 hours ago
The most fantastic spa I've ever been to! You can just float on the salted water in a dark room, the only lights are yellow, red and blue amblights. DJ plays music, which can be heard underwater! Here's also a bar and on fridays a glass of champagne is included on the entrance fee! Awesome! 41 days, 3 hours ago
If you want a good steak in Berlin with a decent price go to a Block House. It's great! 300 days, 4 hours ago
Under the Eberswalder Straße substation (Prenzlauer Berg), there is a brilliant Döner kiosk called Konnepke's Imbiß.
I believe Konnepke's history goes back to 1930's and they have their very own curry sauce. The best currywurst I've had in Berlin, and I've had a lot of them!

This was a pretty awful experience. The room was small and cold. However, it was cheap. Wedding is a suburb of Berlin popular among the turkish and unemployed. Not the nicest of neighborhoods... At least there's a Penny Markt close by to buy food and beer. :) 298 days, 20 hours ago
Tommy Haus is self sufficient youth commune located in Kreuzberg, Berlin. Inside the house there's a reasonably priced bar with music ranging from punk/hardcore to ska/reggae. There's also a concert hall with weekly events. If you're into punk this is really a place worth visiting for. 285 days, 20 hours ago

A cool top floor nightclub, conveniently located near Alexanderplatz. When we were there you could take photos with your mobile and send them as MMS to have them displayed on a large screen in the club, a cool idea! Hopefully they go through censorship first though.. 69 days, 21 hours ago
Artim Hotel Charlottenburgh in Berlin. The hotel is very comfort 3 star hotel, but the price isn't very high. Prices include breakfast, and the hotel is very calm. The staff is also nice. The location isn't maybe the best possible, but you can always take an U-bahn in Berlin! 47 days, 16 hours ago
A nice place to stay by the river. It´s nothing fancy, but very cheap. Our apartment had 3 beds (not shared), a kitchen (no equipment though), a spacey bathroom and a cable TV. There seemed to be lots of Russians there and not all of the receptionists spoke English. They were still very nice and even help us to order pizza :)
This place didn´t have a restaurant and the nearest restaurant was ~500m away. The room cost a little over 30 euros, not bad for 3 people! And the apartment was pretty big.
Potsdamer platz was about 1km away.

The landmark of Berlin, use it to guide you to the center if you get lost. Can also well be seen from the airplane when you land. It's pretty expensive to go up the tower and usually there's a queue. Luckily they also have a mobile service that sends you an sms half an hour before it's your turn to go up. 67 days, 3 hours ago

Perhaps I missed something here but to me a small shack and a crash test dummy wearing a uniform between the lanes wasn't that cool. 292 days, 21 hours ago
