Few days back, I got an opportunity to visit Berlin City; I stayed there for two days and following is what my experience says
1. Euro is the currency used in Germany. There is no Germany pound / dollar
2. Germans know English as well but they speak it only where they have no choice
3. Taxi is not the option for travelling through the city. Trams / Trains are the cheapest means of transport. Let me say it loudly, Berlin has THE BEST railway system.
4. Berlin is a tourist city and has got lot of places to visit. Even diplomatic embassies are worth seeing and can be seen unlike Pakistan
5. Germans speak high of Einstein (off course) and they are still angry on Hitler
6. It’s easy to find and book cheap hostels in Berlin for 15 Euros. MEININGER City Hostel & Hotel is one of them.
7. Germany city tour on bus and Night cruise tour by Berlin City Tours is worth visiting.
8. Walking in Berlin at 19oC is fun when you have tour guide with you for free
9. You cant help shopping souvenirs when you are in Berlin
It was pleasure to see visit Germany and Thanks to Berlin City Tours for arranging a free tour for me. You can visit http://www.berlincitytours.com/ for further information.
