Obviously there's a lot to see in Berlin, more than you can just see in two days, but this is what I saw when I was there. It's a tight schedule! Some you can walk to, some you'll want to use the U-Bahn to get to.

| The third-best place I visited...make sure you climb the dome and see the view- it's one of the best views you can get in Berlin. |
|
|
2. Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church
|
|
| Very cool because there is a huge hole. Very historical too, it was bombed during WW2. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Nice museum, but somewhat boring for high schoolers and younger. Amazing architectural artifacts. |
|
|
4. Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor)
|
|
| Tied for the best thing I saw in Berlin. It's simply amazing. |
|
|
5. The Holocaust Memorial
|
|
| The other best thing I saw. It was brand new when I was there. All of the concrete blocks are the size of graves, and it goes on and on forever. |

|
| There was a "tipi" up when I was there, and I got to see an acrobatic play, which was fun. The park itself is nice. |
|
|
7. Charlottenburg Palace (Schloss Charlottenburg)
|
|
| Not worth the time, money, or energy to see the little bit that's open. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Downtown, the middle of Berlin. |
|
|
9. Berlin Wall Museum (Museum Haus am Checkpoint Charlie)
|
|
| I didn't go in the museum, but seeing the sign was awesome. I bought a little metal postcard of the "leaving" side of the sign. Also, "SnackPoint Charlie" is a great place to get a cheap lunch, there's all sorts of sandwiches and stuff there, and it's just right across the street from the museum. |

| The architecture in this building will kill you. As will walking on the faces. Be ready to cry, a lot. The fourth-best thing I saw. |

| Great tourist shopping. I got my dad a bierglas, my grandma a plate, my little sister some keychains, and myself a couple of shirts, a bunch of postcards, and a guidebook. |
