11/09/2007 | Cool from hell. The cultural offer is amazing. So is the city's history, it is everywhere. Berliners are very friendly (but don't expect everyone to speak English). Great food, great shopping. Many old market squares where communist memorabilia is on offer. Like London, a Global city.

12/17/2005 | If I had to rate one item/place/thing on this site a 5 above all else - it is Berlin. There is no other place I would rather be and no other city - American, European or otherwise - can compare.
If you are travelling to Western Europe, I hardly think your trip is complete without a few days in Berlin. From the open-air concerts to the Reichstag to the outdoor cafes near Potsdamer Platz and Alexanderplatz, to anything your senses want to take in - the time seems to stand still while you soak up the warmth of character, hospitality and true fun that is the new Berlin.
I recommend in addition to the "usual" sights: the Indian restaurants near Oranienstrasse, the shopping near Unter Den Linden, Queen Nefertiti's bust at the Agyptologische Musee, Viktoriapark in Kreuzberg, and Schloss Charlottenburg to name a few.
See you at World Cup 2006.

10/23/2004 | A great city if you like culture, shopping, and entertainment. Parts of it are beautiful as well, although there are numerous examples of the opposite. Also a great base for visits to Potsdam, Spandau and even Leipzig and Dresden.
And a small comment to Daneyw's comment: No, Hitler wasn't born in Berlin. He was born in Austria.

11/21/2001 | A terrific city. There's plenty to do: shopping (go to the Kaufhaus Des Westerns, aka: the KaDeWe), restaurants (you're sure to find something you like), a constant nightlife (actually I never did go to any bars, but I have heard about them). Plus, it's a very historic city. Be sure to visit the Checkpoint Charlie museum to see lots of info on the Berlin Wall. Basically, I wish I was back there.

02/27/2000 | I spent 6 months traveling through Europe and I thought Berlin and Belfast to be the most fascinating cities I visited. The differences that still exist between the East and West are still dramatic. It feels as if WWII was ten years ago, not 60. Take a historical walking tour of the city. In 4 hours you can walk through both sides of the city, see and learn about the frightening city it was and witness the wonderful city it is becoming.

12/10/1999 | I am American, and have been living in Berlin for 6 months. It is a n extremely interesting city! There is lots to see, learn, and discover -- it is very modern and in another 5 years will be extremely popular. The nightlife is active and the people are full of energy.

11/16/1999 | Berlin may be a big construction zone right now, but it's hard not to be impressed when you're standing on spots that have hosted some of the most significant events of the 20th century. The former East Berlin is definitely more interesting right now if you're looking for unique bars and restaurants.

11/02/1999 | Be warned: the entire city seems under construction! Lacking warmth and beauty.
