Travelling
to Berlin is easy and economic if you know the
way. There are free guide tours available at the
Pariser Platz (in front of Brandenburg Gate or
other nearby places) everyday. You can follow
the English or the Spanish tour group. I
personally felt that these tour guides are
really informative. They showed us places of
interest and briefed us on the history of Berlin
(it definitely saves me time to browse the
books).
The walking
tour will take about 3.5 hours and bear in mind
to take together with you a sun lotion. For
Asians (I believe) does not like to be exposed
to the hot sun too much. I myself got sun burnt
by the end of the day. You won't realize this
because the temperature is cold and windy and
you are comfortable with such a sunny cold day.
Back to the
tour group...The guides are funny...and showed
us information you won't get in the books...for
e.g. Hotel Adlon which has some story associated
with Michael Jackson (find about it yourself) and the exact site Hitler ended his life. You can
also get discount to PUB CRAWL from
him...Overall, it was nice to visit such a
historical and complicated city.
