Berlin

If you're a history enthusiast, you'd love Berlin. Every turn you make, you are reminded the cities turbulent 20th century history. You can feel, and imagine, what went on 75 years ago. Although the city itself dates back to the 13 century, there's not a whole lot left as the city was reconstructed after WWII. There is plenty to see in Berlin, so make sure you plan for at least 3 nights.

​

Where to Stay:

  • Mette, or the historic center, is the bet option if you're looking for a central location that is close to everything.

  • Tiergarten is close to the Berlin zoo, some historic attractions and the huge public park (similar to Central Park).

  • Friedrichshain in east Berlin has more affordable options and "hip" vibe.

​

Where/What to Eat:

  • Indulge in some curry wurst every chance you get.

  • Have a sandwich at Rogacki deli, which dates back to the 1930s.

  • Have adore kebab (Europe's take on the shawarma, but doesn't even come close). Don't wait in line at Mustafas. 

  • Hit up cafe am Neuen See in Tiergarten, on of Berlin's best and most beautiful biergartens.

  • Speaking of biergartens, go have a proper German beer every chance you get.

  • Dottir for some fine seafood.

  • Mogg, one of the best Jewish delis around. Try the pastrami.

  • Local with seasonal menu and great German classics.
