City break in Berlin, 3 tips on sleeping, eating, visiting



    Sparkling destination for young people and families, Berlin, the rediscovered capital of Germany, really amazed me for its profound change, I had seen it in factsummer 1990, I found a completely different city.



    I propose an area that was already part of West Berlin and is in Kreuzberg district: the demolition of the wall has incredibly changed its characteristics; nearby is theAnhalter Bahnhof, that is a station, of which only a ruin remains, and which was crucial before the war, gateway to the city coming from the south. After that, first the bombs and then modernity made it unusable. Standing there is only the facade and it is very beautiful in its melancholy.

    If you want spend little the city is the right place because it has made low cost a philosophy of life and is therefore economical both for those who live there and for us tourists. Close to the Anhalter Bahnhof 3 tested addresses: to sleep on Meininger City Hostel by Tempelhofer Ufer, essential services but comfort and cleanliness. The single is € 29, a place in dormitory € 9; if you want you can also have a hearty breakfast in the common room for € 5,90.


    In the Bernburgerstrasse the characteristic tavern o Stadtklause Das Brot der frühen Jahre with typical cuisine - few dishes but well cooked - more than cordial welcome, atmosphere, history, photos of the neighborhood before the war - it has existed since 1909 and very competitive prices; you can just have a beer there.



    The Anhalter Bahnohof area is within walking distance Potsdamer Platz and to all the new buildings of the new Berlin; but to visit something different here Topography of Terror (topography of terror); in this area once stood the Gestapo headquarters now there is an empty space; shreds of wall accentuate the melancholy and the heavy imprint of history. The permanent exhibition is documentary and photographic and testifies to the horrors wrought by the hierarchies of the Third Reich (free, open all day). In Berlin, the comparison with the past is a must.
