We had heard Berlin was a city bursting with art and music and we were very excited to
spend some time there.
Here is our list of the 25 best things to do in Berlin.
The East Side Gallery is the longest remaining strip of the of the former dividing wall between
East and West Berlin.
Today the 1.3 kilometer long wall stands as a memorial to freedom and it is covered in
art and graffiti.
Right now we're visiting Brandenburg Gate.
This gate dates back to the 18th Century.
It used to be one of the old gates leading in to the city.
Now after the wall came down in 1989 this became a symbol of unity between East and
West Germany.
It is an important site to visit.
And just behind the gate is the Hotel Adlon.
This is where Michael Jackson infamously dangled the baby.
We're here at Tiergarten, one of the biggest parks in the city.
It is a nice quiet green escape from the city center.
We're loving just walking around.
This park actually used to be the King's hunting grounds because it was full of wild deer and
other animals.
MauerPark is a hipster hangout.
Every Sunday people flock to this park and spend the day barbecuing, listening to music,
enjoying a few beers, and simply having a good time.
There's a popular flea market where you can pick up old vinyls and clothes, and if you
head over to the Bear Pit you can catch some karaoke and musical performances.
If you want to spot some cool street art, then head over to Friedrichshain.
This neighborhood is home to a lot of old warehouses turned cafes and art galleries,
and they exude a very cool vibe.
You can't come to Berlin and not eat a Currywurst!
This is the city's most popular fast food snack.
The sausage is served with a ketchup and curry powder concoction.
It's delicious!
Up next we're at the Reichstag building which has a pretty cool glass dome on top.
This dome is actually open to visitors and it offers 360 degree views of the city but
the only thing is that you need to sign up well in advance.
Today we're visiting Tempelhof, a re-purposed airport here in Berlin.
This is the first time, I must say, that I've ever walked on a runway.
What is so cool about this park is that it has been re-purposed and now people are enjoying
all kinds of leisure activities.
There is a dog park, there is people inline skating, riding bicycles, jogging, walking
and having picnics.
This is such as awesome place just to come and hangout.
If you enjoy museums and art galleries you'll want to visit Berlin's Museum Island.
They actually have five different museums here and if you get a daily pass for 18 Euros
you get access to all five.
We are now visiting the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin.
It is also known as the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.
The artist's idea when he was creating this was to create a sense of confusion and uneasiness
when we walk through the memorial, yet it is very orderly at the same time and that
is supposed to mimic the Nazi regime.
We're going to be showing you this area.
Charlottenburg Palace is the largest palace in Berlin and the only surviving royal residence
in the city.
It was home to Queen Sophia Charlotte and the interior is quite grand.
Once you've browsed through the many halls and ballrooms, you should head out the beautiful
gardens out back.
Checkpoint Charlie was one of the crossing points between East Berlin and West Berlin
during the Cold War.
Today you can get your passport stamped with the stamps of the former sectors.
Located near Alexanderplatz, The Berlin TV Tower offers a great lookout over the city.
Chocolate!
Ritter Sport is a chocolate brand that is sold all over Germany, and while in Berlin
we couldn't resist sampling a few of the different varieties.
Berlin Cathedral is located on Museum Island and it's one of the most beautiful churches
in the city.
You wouldn't be able to tell by looking at it today, but the dome was severely damaged
during the Second World War.
If Currywurst is to your liking, you'll want to check out this quirky museum devoted to
Berlin's favorite sausage.
One of the coolest things about this museum is that they have a giant sofa shaped like
a Currywurst.
Renting a bike is a great way to get around the city.
Most places will rent out bikes at 10 Euros per day.
For a leisurely afternoon, hop on a boat and enjoy a tour down the River Spree.
Of course, you cannot come to Berlin and not eat a Wurst or a sausage.
I've just ordered myself one from the street.
They have lots of local stands and this was only one Euro and thirty five cents.
Big bite!
That is so good and I got it with mustard, which is even tastier.
The Friedrichshain flea market takes place every Sunday and it's a great place for people
watching and a little browsing.
You'll find all sorts of items for sale, ranging from old musical instruments to antique dishware.
This market draws big crowds.
The Germans sure know how to enjoy a hearty breakfast, and we recommend you try it too.
Breakfast usually offers a wide sampling of loafs and bread rolls, accompanied with various
deli cuts and cheese.
We couldn't resist visiting yet another cat cafe while we were in Berlin.
Unlike the cafes we have previously visited in Asia, this one was quite small and only
had 2 cats, but if you're a cat lover you might just enjoy Pee Pees Katzen Cafe.
While in Berlin we enjoyed a hearty meal of Schnitzel.
This thin strip of meat is coated in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs, before being deep-fried.
You can order it with a side of mashed potatoes or German noodles known as Spaetzle.
It's quite easy to get around Berlin using the U-bahn and S-bahn system.
You can get almost anywhere, plus it's really affordable.
In Berlin, there is a big Turkish population and that means there is awesome Turkish street
food.
Right here, I've got a donair in front of me.
It only costs 3.50 Euro and this thing is a massive behemoth.
I can't wait to take the first bite.
Oh yeah, amazing.
And that's Berlin for you!
A city that has risen from the ashes of the war, which is now bursting with art, music,
and life.

Recently we had the opportunity to visit Europa-Park, the largest theme park in Germany and second
most popular theme resort in all of Europe.
This was the perfect opportunity for us to rekindle our childhood passion for rides.
With over eleven different roller coasters alone we quickly realized we had never been
to such a big theme park.
What we found cool was that the theme park was divided into different European countries.
If you can't visit all of Europe going to Europa Park is like getting little slivers
of it all.
Accommodating up to 50,000 guests per day, we were fortunate we didn't come during peak
season; however, it was still crowded.
Overall, the weather was perfect, the rides were fun and it is an experience we won't
forget anytime soon.
This is a bit of a surprise.
We have an eight hour wait for a flight in Frankfurt, so instead of just hanging around
in the airport, which was our original plan, we decided to drop our bags off and come into
the city.
That pretty much wraps up our little visit to Frankfurt.
We spent maybe three or four hours just walking around and it was really nice to just see
the city without much of an agenda.
I came here with quite low expectations to be perfectly honest.
I had heard more or less this is just
a financial hub but it ended up being quite charming here in Frankfurt and I'm definitely
going
to miss Germany.
I've had a wonderful time traveling around the country.
We aren't having much luck with the weather today.
It is really rainy here in Freiburg.
It is Easter weekend but we are out an exploring and we want to show you the city.
Let's go have
a tour.
One of my first impressions of Freiburg is that it is such a great city to walk around
in.
That's all we've been doing so far.
It's very picturesque.
There are cobbled streets and it is also very historic.
Thankfully, the weather has shifted dramatically for the better.
Earlier we had been rained out, so we had to head back into the hotel because it was
cold and windy.
Now we're seeing a few patches of blue skies, so we're going to keep exploring around Freiburg.
