About Berlin
Berlin is gritty, creative, and still figuring itself out post-reunification. Street art, techno clubs that go until Monday, Cold War history, and nightlife that makes NYC look tame. Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain are the cool neighborhoods; Mitte is touristy. Cheap by European capital standards. Bring cash — many places don't take cards.
- •East Side Gallery (Berlin Wall art)
- •Reichstag dome (book ahead, it's free)
- •Berghain or Watergate for techno clubs (if you can get in)
- •Markthalle Neun street food market on Thursdays
