We took the ‘U-Bahn’ to Alexanderplatz and started walking and exploring the city. We passed the ‘Altes Stadhaus’, had a look inside the ‘Nicolaikirche’. Spend about an hour at the ‘DDR-Museum’ and also visited the ‘Berliner Dom’. Had some coffee and a Berliner. We crossed the ‘Museuminsel’, walked ‘Unter den Linden’, ‘Den Gendarmenmarkt’, ‘Der Deutsche Dom’ to ‘Checkpoint Charlie’ and the little outdoor museum. We didn’t go inside the ‘Topographie des Terrors’ museum, but we did read the history outside on the panels at the back of some remains of the Berlin wall. A quick stop was needed at a big Mall for a warm jacket, gloves and coffee. The ‘Grossmutters Streusel’ pastry never arrived so we went on to the ‘Potsdamer Platz, missed the information board about the former ‘Führersbunker’. The ‘Holocaust-Denkmal’ was already impressive, but we probably go back there to see it by daylight. As well as ‘The Brandenburger Tor’, which was absolutely stunning with all the spotlights. We had a real ‘Wiener Schnitzel’ and a ‘Berliner Kindl Pils’ at the Schnitzelei before we couldn’t find the tram/bus ‘S1B’ back home. So we walked.
I’m very curious what’s on the program tomorrow, probably some walking 😉
