Hallo, Berlin: Top 5 Experiences
On Sundays, hungover Germans make their way over to Mauerpark – beers in hand – to watch strangers sing Cyndi Lauper in the Bearpit amphitheater. We smartly followed suit.
I loved the view from the highest point in Berlin (although my knees did start to wobble at the thought of being in an old, giant sphere on a spire built by the Soviets).
We went to this hidden vegetarian restaurant/club for our last dinner in Berlin. After eating, we popped over to the attached club, Cookies (which looks more like a funhouse than a club), and watched some Germans “make big party.”
… while running through Prenzlauer Berg. German band + German city = very necessary.
I saw this reconstruction of the famous Babylonian gate inside the Pergamon Museum. The entire museum is mind-blowing, but the 4-story Ishtar Gate was my favorite.
