If you ever go to Munich their HRC is next door to the fab Augustiner Bierkeller🍺🍺
Ooh yes Kadewe is on our list! Trabant looks awesome!

Ooh Munich sounds good thanks for the heads up!

Also bought a Brandenburg ticket (29 Euro and does up to 5 people) and took the train across the border to spend a few hours in Stettin.
Thank you! All sorted to wrap up warm! Ooh what's in Stettin?

Wednesday 9th November

Breakfast is included with the room and is served 6 AM - 10:30 AM.

We'll probably have a lie in/lazy start and head for breakfast about 9ish.

We've been told the Bus 100 is just as good as the hop on hop off. There's only one hoho route that runs in winter from what I gather so I think the way we're doing things is best. We miss the Christmas markets by a few days but I'm not too fussed - I'd rather my first experience of Berlin be one not totally chaotic!

We will get on the bus at Alexanderplatz taking in the following sites:
*Television Tower
*Brandenburg Gate
*Berlin Cathedral
*Tiergarten
*Reichstag
*Victory Column (Can get off and pay €3 to go up - 285 steps to go up!)
*Breitscheidplatz/Kurfurstendamm
*Kaiser Wilhelm Church
*KaDeWe
*Berlin Zoo

Other things on today's to do list:
*Rausch Chocolatier
*Holocaust Memorial
*Checkpoint Charlie
*Eastside Gallery
*Panoramapunkt (€6 with the Berlin welcome card)

Thursday 10th November

Our last full day in Berlin!

Breakfast is served 6-10:30 so again maybe a lazy morning tying up any loose ends.

Would like to see the Olympic stadium (S5 to Pichelsberg).

Potsdamer Platz & Aleza shopping 😆

If we have time - giant swings in Mauerpark

We have no plans today but this evening at Markthalle Neun it's Streetfood Thursday 5pm-10pm!

Great Itinerary - one other place worth a visit if you were nearby - Bendlerblock on Stauffenbergstrasse - where Operation Valkyrie was planned. Now Resistance Museum and Memorial.

I did the German Christmas markets last year in Munich and absolutely loved in. I'm in Canada now so can't just hop over to Europe as easily, but I would've loved to do another Christmas Market somewhere. Berlin is high on my list too, have just read your actual trip report for this and loved it. Hoping to backpack around Europe sometime soon and fit it in then.
