Things to do in Berlin

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The Victoriapark in Kreuzberg is also nice. By famous romantic architect Schinkel. It's a mountain with park and woods and little artificial water fall, and on the top there is a weird little neogothic memorial. One can sit there and look far over the city. Nice to get away from dusty streets.

Curry 36 at UBahn Mehringdamm is one of the best Currybuden, isn't it? I used to eat there and liked it, and I hear it's still good.

There's a place called Tacheles in the east that is a huge squat that artists have covered in amazing graffiti and sculpture and there's a bar there that is a bus cut in half :) I can recommend the east once you're bored of WWII.

I'm heading to Berlin for a week with some friends at the end of the month. I'll make sure we head to this Tacheles place - cheers!

Oh if you're into dinosaurs and that sort of thing (not everyone's cup of tea, I know but I'm a fan) you must go to the Museum für Naturkunde. They have the largest mounted dinosaur skeleton in the world (a specimen of Brachiosaurus brancai -- although technically I think B. brancai is Giraffatitan brancai these days) and they have the best Archaeopterix fossil ever found.

Also, if you can afford it, stay at the Hotel Velvet next door to Tacheles. Expensive, but very very nice.
