Quick Tips:

Best Way To Get Around:

Subway and by foot.
Great hostel/hotel accommodations. Nice location, easily accessible by public transit. Nearby restaurants (both fast food and sit-down eateries). The hotel is a very modern buiding with dorm-style rooms, separated by gender. The lobby includes an email center for your convenience. The place is great, especially at this price.

Potsdamer PlatzBest of IgoUgo

Attraction

Potsdamer Platz, once the largest urban development zone in the world, is a great testament to the growth of reunified Germany. it was once the "no man's land" between the Berlin Wall, and now is being redeveloped (nearly complete by now) with high-rise offices, etc.

There is a great museum on-site, called the Info Box. It's a big red building. It talks all about the development of the site, how decisions were made regarding what to put there, how was involved, and the high-tech role. It's very interactive, and take it from me - someone who hates museums - this is worth it.
