Mark thanks for your tips going this weekend can’t wait to see Berlin

mark, you are very helpful and i am a subscriber. i wish you would add one thing to your videos, a map, so when you say brandenberg gate, show it where it is, and charolette , where is that vis a vee the other sites, so we can get a feeling on how to plan the day. there is no website that does that, and if you do that, you will be upgraded to the best thanks once again

Last time I was in Berlin was in 1990 just after the wall came down. Actually took a hammer and chisel with me and hacked some pieces out of the wall which I still have. I’m defo going back soon to see what it’s like now.

Thank-you Wolter coming this weekend so much appreciated. We are excited

Oh yes! I would really recommend Potsdam! AMAZING!

Just a heads up !! Number 4 you need to make an appointment online to go up the dome

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for all your hard work!

Just got back from europe 2 weeks ago. Saw Paris, Berlin and Rotterdam. Saw your videos before I left. Thanks for the tips!
I walked all the way from alexanderplatz to brandenburger tor it was awesome!

Just a quick hint for the ‘no-go/go-but.hey-you’ve-really-been-warned/get-a-nice-experience-but-you-might-regret-it’ kind of places:Kottbusser Tor, locally known as ‘Kotti’ is, especially in the dark, not really the place to be, unless you do want to watch your step, take good care of your valuables (absoulutely no backpacks, unless you really want to get rid of somthing ;-), in which case: leave the zip open and hope for the best ^^ ).But hey, just in case you are looking for something fitting in the ‘well-maybe-somehow-it’s-not-that-legal’-category, well then, my lawyer’s quote would be ‘don’t go there’ 😉 and I don’t have anything to append :-]However, to cut this short: It’s not the place to be at dark, unless for a really good reason.Enjoy your stay 😀

Checkpoint Charlie is a lame tourist trap, there are much better places to visit.

I live in Berlin and I can tell you it’s fucking annoying here!

Hi great video, I am going to berlin over new year and was wondering if you could recommend any places that can be reached from berlin by bus of train that are interesting and sort of old school, thank you.

Hey I travelled to Berlin because of your videos. Also how did you travel so much? What did you work as while in Europe.

Potsdam isn’t a small town.

You should do a tour of all the stolen buildings belonging to Jews that the Germans stole for the 3rd time after Reunification in 1992 legally with the help of Sabine Leutheusser Schnarenberger Minister of Justice and Theo Waigel Minister of Finance.; after all it was the children of the Nazis who wrote the property laws protecting the German Aryans. My mother’s building is in Prenzlauer Berg.

I was in Berlin this week, only 3 days but loved it, Brandenburg gate, Museum island, Ku,damm, Checkpoint Charlie, got to see the wall. Loved every minute, will have to go back when its a bit warmer. Love Currywurst. In Dortmund now off to Munich Monday then Rome Thursday. 🙂

music leipzig bach mendelssohn, schumann zwickau, halle handel, vienna haydn schubert mozart beethoven, linz bruckner, bayreuth wagner, salzburg mozart, bonn beethoven

palaces: munich nymphemburg residenz, wuerzburg residenz, neuschwanstein hohenschwangau, dresden zwinger, potsdam palaces, ; museums and art galleries: which is best for german austrian swiss art as opposed to foreign? munich alte neue pinakothek glyptothek, vienna kunsthistorisches belvedere albertina, dresden zwinger, nuernberg germanisches national museum, berlin alte national galerie, ….. other suggestions? again native born masters not foreign .

At our last two visits my brother and I visited the AG Tiergarten (court which banned many movies) and the old Metropol (now Goya, building where Lamberto Bava’s horror film Demoni was shot).
But we are movie buffs and have been to Berlin a lot of times in the last years.

Seems like you havent been to Leipzig yet. Its a remarkable city. Nowadays they are still rebuilding after the communist officials of the GDR left the city rotting for 50 years. It was however one of the richest trade cities in germany. They have the biggest train station in Europe with a 3-floor-shopping mall inside of it, a beautiful church seemingly made out of glass as a main part of their university and countless houses in a very rich 1800s merchant style (Jugendstil in german). Since the city’s buildings were falling appart at the beginning of the 90s, most eastern germans from leipzig left after the borders opened towards west germany. having hundreds of thousands of people less in the city didn’t help with maintaining it either. but nowadays the city is rebuilt beautifully almost in every aspect. when i lived there in 2013, they still had a few houses torn down, some historical fronts of buildings standing around with no house behind them, merely hold up by steel beams. People are coming back today, its very cheap, very student friendly, very alternative, very green and has a lot of different faces. from the artsy sides of the museums and atteliers to the industrial sides with old abandoned factories and fancy new high tech produciton. Its a great city and you should go there 😉

We are going to Berlin in a couple of months. Appreciate your direction on things to see and do while in town. Cheers!
