I have compiled a document of places I have been and like and places I have not been to but that my friends love. So, I would say that this list should give you a good idea of approved places to eat, drink, party, shop, go sightseeing etc.
I hope you can use it and feel free to drop me a line if you have an amazing place I should add to my list (and feel free to add a picture too).
List will be made a bit nicer soon, but better to put it up asap to help you all then wait until I have time to make it look good ;)
Enjoy wonderful Berlin <3

This is a cool place to go for cocktails. I
love it. Hidden under a bridge and you have to ring a bell on a black door to
get in. I heard the Russian Mafia used to hang out here before it was turned
into this cool bar a few yrs ago ;)

Weinerei

My café where I drink my morning latte
(best in town) for €1,5 and they sell homemade delicious cakes for €2 and
Croissants €1. 2 Daily sounds for €3 and every evening at 20.00 they have “open
wine bar” where you pay entry of €2,5 and get a glass. YOu can drink as much
wine as you want and there is a simple buffet. At the end you pay what you feel
it was worth! ;) http://weinerei.com/forum/

good bar with good music. Very popular place – bit trashy – Berlin style ;)

Kauf
Dich Glücklich and Glücklich am Park– café –
low/medium (Mitte)
Best waffelplace in town and very popular
on the weekends. One is in Oderbergerstrasse and other Kastanien Alle by the
Weinbergspark.
In Weinbergspark there is a super cool parkbar in the corner – right by the
playground. So nice there on a sunny day. Not the café in the middle of the
park – this is overpriced and I would not go there.
Glorywhole – café – medium (mitte)

GREAT homemade cakes and famous for their

Punkt Potsdamer Plats. Great café and amazing view
and no line up like in Fehrnsehenturm ;) I think it costs €6 to get up there
(in Panorama bar) but defo worth it.
Fehrnsehenturm ! Best views but go early cause sooo many people there. Costs €13.
Sights n Parks n Museums

There are many in Linienstrasse (Mitte),
Augustenstrasse (Mitte) and Flamingostase (Charlottenburg)

exhibitions

Walking
tours:
Tours in the underground bunkers by
Humboltpark
See a HUGE bunker from ww2 where you get a
tour of this 6 storage high thing. I did not go yet but really want to.
http://berliner-unterwelten.de/
Humboltpark
Has a nice viewpoint where you look over
all of Berin – I think this is the highest point in Berlin and free to walk up
there ;) Love this place.
Other nice parks : Tiergarten and Volkspark Friedrichshein.
Old Tempelhof
Airport
Used for concerts and events but you can
get a tour of the huge building and see the Americans old Gym and quarters from
when they were in charge of the “luftbrüke” in the early 60s.
Berlin
wall by Brunnenstrasse or East Side Gallery (take
train to Jannowichbrücke and walk 10 min along Holzmarktstrasse
Old
DDR Museum
The old HQ of the Russian Stasi. Everything
is kept as it was back when they left it. Very interesting.
Abandoned
Irakian Embassy in Pankow

There are many Free walkingtours in Berlin :
Swimming
in the lakes:
Wansee (get off at Nikolasea) – went here a
lot in the summer. Costs €4 or €5 to get in but it is worth it.
Freibad Plotzensea where you can swim in
the lake and rent boats.
In
the summer there is a great open air Kino where a ticket costs €7
Shopping
Mitte
2nd-hand Designer Chairs /
Furniture / Mitte
Chairs (designerfurniture – all secondhand
and top quality). The shop in Berlin with most Eames chairs. The cross where
Fehrberlinerstrasse and Veteranenstrasse meet.
Kastanien Allé and Oderbergerstrasse are great streets for shopping in small
shops and for trying great cafés too.
If you wanna check out a mainstream shoppingcenter with
different shops there is the one at Schönheuser Alle St. But I think Alexa by
Alexander Plats is nicer and has greater variety.. also closer to Galeria
Kaufhof with more shops.
Rosenthaler strasse – great shops / cafés
and it goes to Hackescher Höfe.
Hackesher Markt on Rosenthaler Strasse is
so nice and cosy.
Brünnenstrasse has nice shops and tons of
cafés too at the part
Kreutzberg:
Trashy and full of character. The “arty /
creative” hood in Berlin.
Oranienburgerstrasse, Wranglerstrasse and
this area is cool. Full of querky shops, café´s and bars. A good place to go
for a drink and cheap food and lots of 2nd hand shops.
Charlottenburg
Kurfurstendam is the main “mainstream”
shopping street in Berlin. Here you find:
Gedächniskirche which is a famous church
bombed in WW2.
KaDeWe: Very popular upmarket / highend
Shoppingmall. Famous and has delicious food and great views on top of building.

Schönefelt – central Berlin
Airport Xpress Train (25min to Alexander Platz)
– Zone ABC (3,10€)
Normal Train (40min) same price
