What to do and see in Berlin?

Hi everyone, i'm going on July to Berlin with a friend, where we're going to be around 3 days (we're arriving to Berlin around July 2nd) . So, i was wondering which are the best places to visit, and what things to do during our stay.
We don't like that much the idea of going to museums and stuff like that. We like walking around the city, going to parks, walkways, etc. So, would anyone tell me which places are cool to visit?
Also, we would like to know something about partying there, what kind of clubs are more common, the music they play, how to dress up, how much the entrance costs, and stuff like that.

Thanks!! Reply to this

hi ch1n0 - Berlin is a great city for just walking around - even though there's lots of museums, that's not all there is to do. The Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor) is a must see - it's right in the centre at the top of the road "Unter den Linden" so definitely have a walk down there. The Jewish memorial and the Reichstag (German parliament) are there too. Have a walk through the Tiergarten if you like parks, and a little further afield is Treptow park which has a massive memorial to the Soviet Union - it's really really worth a visit as it's pretty impressive (and huge). I think you'll like Potsdamer Platz with the ultra-modern Sony Centre too.

For clubs you HAVE to go to the Bang Bang Club - it's right near the S-Bahn station Hackescher Markt so it's really easy to get to - it's quite indie...bands and djs play there so you could have a look and see if anyone worthwhile's there when you're visiting. We paid 5 euros entry and there's no dress code. Trust me it's worth a visit! Reply to this

you should try out the free walking tours in Berlin that start at starbucks next to the brandunberg gate in the main square. the guides are from all over the world and are very funny and knowledgable in Berlinds history. they take you around the city showing you and telling you about its history and points of interest. there is also the option to pay for the 3rd reicht tour (maybe not spelt correct) which takes you around the areas specific to Nazi occupied germany. this tour covers much the same as the free one but with more information on things that relate to Nazi germany. once you have seen everything you can obviously go back and see things in more detail by yourself though the free tours are a great way to find your way about the city and see all points of interest.

the same group offers a bar crawl which goes through some points and clubs and finishes in a large night club. if i remember right this cost either 10 or 15 euros though it was free beer for 2 hours in the first bar and all entry to the clubs were free. i would recommend this as there were around 30 people of different nationalities getting drunk and enjoying Berlin. good times 😊 Reply to this

Berlin is fantastic city, wether you are there for partying, og just going to see some of the citys attractions. Alot of very great places have already been mentioned, but I got a couple of extra places that are most definetly worth seeing.

1. The Mauer Park, or in english The Wall Park. The place is a park where the old Berlin wall used to run directly through, but after the fall of the wall, the area was coonverted into a park. In the park you can still see some of the old Berlin wall. Alot of diffrent events is going on in the park, and every sunday, there is a big flea market. A market where people come, put up a stall and sell all kinds of diffrent stuff. Also, specialy in the summer months, you can often run into some kind of street party, with music and diffrent things happening. Very Nice place. (It's in the Prenzlaurberg area of Berlin)

2. Köpi - In Berlin there have been a big squatter culture up through the 80's and 90's, and today there is huge amount squatted buildings, movie theatres, art shows, bars cooperatives and alot more around the city. One of the biggest is a huge house called köpi, besides the house there is a trailer park with alot of people living in it. The house is occupied (actualy it have just been legalized) by anarchists. There's alot of diffrent things going on in the house all the time, and definetly worth a visit, if you find the alternative sides of the big citys interesting, anyhow!
There is lots of places like that in Berlin, if any of you are interested in those kinds of places, give me a heads up, and I can give you a large amount of adresses and more details about the places :D People are very friendly at the places, and you don't have to be a punker, or political active or anything to visit the places ;D Reply to this
