Short break in Berlin
I am considering going to Berlin for a short visit of three days with
my wife and two kids aged 15 and 11. I was wondering how suitable a city it is for a short visit. Where is the best area to stay etc? Thanks. |

om... I am considering going to Berlin for a short visit of three days with my wife and two kids aged 15 and 11. I was wondering how suitable a city it is for a short visit. Where is the best area to stay etc? Thanks. 3 days is certainly rather the minimum but OK. Have a look at the map in the mid of the page http://www.berlin-tourist-informatio...prache=english Best to stay are the districts City East: Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg City West: Tiergarten, Schöneberg If you want to stay in an hotel check http://www.hrs.com if they did not have better prices (often they will). For hostels it is mostly the best to book directly throug the hostel homepage. Berlin Welcome Card http://www.berlin-tourist-informatio...lcomecard.html Gives 72-hour free public transport in Berlin + Potsdam. Plus discounts for many tourist attractions. You would need 3 of these cards (2 children under 14 are free with any card). 3 x 21,- = 63,- or you could travel with a mini group ticket for up to 5 persons, which is EUR 14,- for Berlin and EUR 15,- for Berlin + Potsdam 2 x 14,- + 1 x 15,- = EUR 43,- Other links: http://www.berlin.de/english/visitors.html http://www.berlin.de/tourismus-fotog...tml/index.html |

However, I don't think it would be a very exciting trip for your kids (unless they're history buffs). Three days are just fine for Berlin The transportation museum, a shorter river cruise, the radio tower and the technology museum are all things many kids would enjoy... the food is another subject entirely ;-) Germany also has the worlds best portable roller coaster, but the chances are slim it will be in the Berlin area ;-) jay Wed Feb 11, 2004 |
