The commerce epicenter of the city is the Potsdamer Platz Arkaden, where you’ll find movie theaters and restaurants. Berlin is teeming with fantastic museums. Among the most visited are Kunstgewerbemuseum, which displays art from the medieval to the Art Deco periods, Hamburger Bahnhof—Museum fur Gegenwart, a renovated train station that houses works by famous artists like Andy Warhol and Amsein Keifer and Neue Nationalgalerie, a magnificent glass and steel structure housing works dating to the 19th and 20th centuries.

Shopping is popular pastime in Berlin. Top shopping areas are Kurfuerstendamm and Tauentzienstrasse, Friedrichstrasse, Potsdamer Platz Arcades and Hackescher Market.

Whether you fix a simple, popular Berlin dish such as stammer max, a snack of buttered rye bread with a slice of ham and two fried eggs on top, or some fabulous German sausage with kraut, you’ll be amazed at the convenience and money-saving attributes of your own kitchen.
