Quick Tips:

1. Buy day passes on the Berlin S-ban and U-ban.
2. Don't take the tour, but do your own at San Souci. It's easy, and a day pass is only .00
3. Berlin has a once-a-year museum night---do attend if you are there during the last Saturday in August. It too is .00 and allows entry into 90 different museums with a street festival outside each museum. 6 p.m.-2 .a.m.
3. Walk to the top of the Reichstaag...the view is breath-taking
4. Buy the week pass for the Hamburg transit system. OR buy a ticket that allows five(5) to travel all day for .00.
5. Look into group theater tickets while in Hamburg. They were offering 'Cats' 5 tickets for .00 A much better deal than New York.
6. Do take a lake tour while in Hamburg as opposed to the river tour.
7. Don't forget to drink the wine. Buy plenty to bring home too. It is cheap and makes a great gift.

Best Way To Get Around:

We used nothing but public transportation. We were cautious to make sure we knew what time the systems shut down on each night.
Walking is a way of life in Germany so take good shoes and bring a spare pair of socks if extra cushoning is needed.

This is a business class hotel which offers a first rate location right outside the main train terminal in the eastern sector. It is within walking distance of the Museum Isle and other tourists sights. It is right behind the world famous Berliner Theater, Bertol Brecht's home theater. The rooms are for 1 or 2 and the hotel offers a truly hearty breakfast as part of the price.
