Hello,
I've booked the Berlin City Break for 8th May, and was wondering if anyone has been before and have travel tips...
1) Places to go: I expect we'll visit the Bradenburg Gate and Reichstag on a sight-seeing excursion, but is there anywhere else you would consider worth a visit? As I enjoy going to museums and art galleries, the Museuminsel and Kulturforum appeal.
2) Places to eat: any casual eating places you'd recommend for lunch or dinner? (Not looking for posh, strict dress-code type restaurants here, just somewhere relaxed and mid-range like Pizza Express or Nando's - not necessarily a chain)
3) Money: how much to take? Average price of a meal (drink, starter/dessert, main course)? I plan to take cash as I've read that Germany tends to cash over card payments.
4) Lastly, security: keep passport on person, or in safe at hotel (and photocopy on person)? Any areas it's best to avoid when exploring alone?
I've never travelled solo abroad before, so any tips from seasoned travellers would be a great help!
P.S. Would love to hear from anyone who is also booked onto this trip 🙂
