Favorite things to do in Berlin
18 Nov 2012 SamL asked
Hi,
I am going over to Berlin on the 11th of May 2013, 7 days before my Scandinavia & Russia Plus tour begins. Was wondering what your favorite thing to do in Berlin Is, whether you've recently travelled there, local or enthusiastic blog reader who has picked up some tips already. I just want to pack as much as I can into this and any information will be awesome.
Thanks!

Hey I’m going to be in Berlin a few days before the trip too. Unfortunatley can’t help you out, I have never been there before. But I am in the same boat, would love to see a few things before travelling. Do you know the name of the hotel we meet at in Berlin? I might try to stay there the night before…

Hi Lauren,
I had the same idea, I believe we will be staying at the Plus Berlin http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/ShowUserReviews-g187323-d1556633-r145405095-PLUS_Berlin-Berlin.html
I have talked to a few mates who have gone over to Berlin and they say that a place called “White trash fast food” Is a great bar to visit. http://www.whitetrashfastfood.com/
I cannot wait to get there, what date are you thinking of flying over?

Hey so I am staying with a friend in Sweden the week before our trip but I haven’t booked my flight to Berlin. I’m thinking I might just fly to Berlin the night before and stay at that hotel.. I’d be keen to check out that bar and apparently it’s only 10 mins from the hotel.
Are you doing the tour solo or with a friend?
I can’t wait to get there either, should be good fun :)- 0 people like this

I was going to stay with a mate in Norway, but I’d like to check out Berlin for a couple of days. I’m going solo! Pretty excited.

Yeah cool. I’m going solo too. Maybe we could catch up the day before the trip starts or something.. Also, have you got your Russian Visa all sorted? I only found out a few days ago that we needed one, I’m off to the Embassy this arvo! and I also just read that we need a visa for Belarus?… have you got one?!
I’m so organised….- 0 people like this

I was thinking of doing the Russia Plus tour too in September but the Russia visa was freaking expensive so I changed my mind. I did asked about the Belarus visa. My Contiki agent told me they would do a group visa once you arrive there.
