Im going to Berlin.what to do? - General

Hi im going to Berlin. Is there any cool places to wisit while im there pleas lave a suggetsion. I have heard that there is an Egyptian museum is it cool?

play some censored video games.

good idea

I was only in Berlin for a few days and most of that was watching Athletics, but I was actually quite interested in even the streets and how where pockets of surviving old buildings remain, everything from pre-1945 is completely coated in cement patches, even the Brandenburg Gate... And the Art Gallery beside the site of the the Gestapo HQ has statues which are little more than bullet ridden legs and torsos. Checkpoint Charlie and the related museum across the road are a good place to visit too.

Do what you do not dare at home.

Assassinate Adolf Hitler.

Don't mention the war

Buy a flag with a swastika on it and go march on the street. Don't worry, they all like it and germans like to do it all the time

visit the user torekk and kick him in his balls

We had to keep telling him to shut up and hold his arms because he's an idiot.

Oktoberfest.

Definitely visit a Nuclear shelter if you can, it was really moving and I couldn't believe the fear and worry that people must have had to make one of these. The history of Berlin Museum is also very interesting. Of course you have to visit the Brandenburg Gate and Berlin Wall, like others have said. I visited Checkpoint Charlie as well, but the exhibition wasn't finished yet so it was a bit underwhelming. If you are willing to travel out a bit, Sachenhausen and Colditz are not that far from Berlin and are well worth a visit. If you want I can upload some of the Better pictures I took.

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;23276751]Oktoberfest.[/QUOTE] it's in Munich you dolt

[img]http://fs.huntingdon.edu/jlewis/syl/ircomp/Maps/GermCitiesMapCia.gif[/img] Berlin (Where OP goes) is in the north-east Munich (Oktoberfest, which isn't celebrated in the Moment) in the south

shout Nazi propaganda to football moms

-Snip Sorry bad joke.

[QUOTE=silvermann;23276073]visit the user torekk and kick him in his balls[/QUOTE] Yeah do that, I can give you my address if you want. Also visit Sachsenhausen, it's a concentration camp near Berlin. Worth a visit. Then, visit the Berliner Dom. Then I can suggest you a night walk along the Spree(a river flowing through Berlin). Also visit the Alexanderplatz and/or Friedrichstraße at night as well. Almost forgot about the Kurfürstendamm, propably the biggest shopping street. And finally, everyone doing "nazi jokes" can go to hell, atleast get your information straight, before trying to be funny.

If you cant find something to see or do in Berlin, you don't deserve to go. There is TONS of history in Berlin, lots of churches, the Reichstag (sorry if I miss spelled, rate me bad spelling), the Berlin Wall (and Brandenburg Gate), the difference between the Soviet East and the Allied(American,British,French)West (like the basic architecture of the East compared to the West), also Checkpoint Charlie and it's museum (as stated before). How long are you staying, we only had a day, but we saw a lot. Try and get a good guide. [editline]03:42PM[/editline] What the fuck? Double post, in my own post? What? -snip-

The fear was mutual in the USA too

Reichstag Brandenburger Tor Checkpoint Charlie Berlin Wall Museums If that's not exciting enough, go to Berlin-Kreuzberg and let the Turks/Arabs/Anarchists beat you up

[QUOTE=JesterUK;23301450]I might have mentioned it once but I think I got away with it![/QUOTE] We don't really care about the war. It's not that we Germans get angry or anything when you mention the war, Hitler etc. The problem is that in the eyes of most Germans this will make you look like a stereotypical American/British person and people will make fun of you.
