@Alena: Yes, we’ve been out to Spreepark a few times, including as part of our friend’s wedding weekend. It’s not possible to wander around the park on your own so it’s best if you can book a tour in advance to be sure you don’t have to wait long. It’s a very cool place with quite an interesting history – think one of the owner’s brothers might still be in jail in South America. Every now and then it goes up for sale, but until now I haven’t heard of a buyer yet. I have heard rumors that maybe the city might take it over.

Have you guys ever checked out the Spreepark? It’s this abandoned amusement park that looks like it has a really cool post-apocalyptic-like feel. I hear it’s going to auction soon and is going to be torn down 🙁

Do you two locals have the scoop??

@Rachel: Glad you found this useful for your upcoming trip. Just be in touch if you have questions on anything. Berlin is a huge city — and so different from one side to the other — so it’s good to start with a few things and allow time to explore and get lost.

@Klaus: Berlin is certainly among the most affordable of Europe’s capitals and large cities. From our experience, it’s possible to experience multiple cities in one. That’s been one of our aims — to experience all the different feelings across all of Berlin’s neighborhoods — of each of our experiences and visits in Berlin.

Berlin is one of the most affordable European capitals. And you may discover two cities in one.

@Jeremy: There are some great German dishes that go perfect with a perfectly pulled beer. Perfect after a long hike.

@Brian: Thanks for sending this to your friend! The neighborhoods are one of the best things about Berlin – and you’re right, they can make or break a trip.

Hi Audrey! Great guide on an amazing city. My friend has been looking for one so I decided I’d send yours over to him. I really like the way you include the distinct neighborhoods in the writeup–something most guides overlook. They’re the cities within the city and can really make or break your trip if you don’t have the right expectations. Really great stuff.

Cheers

I always hear people say that German food is boring but I love it… highly underrated food in the Deutschland for sure!
