heading to Berlin this weekend... hope to see lots of Rob's Best of Sights

I'm off to Berlin this weekend to see a friend of mine. Since I've never been to the Biggest and Best City of Deutscheland - Berlin... I thought I'd ask my flatmate Rob, (Rob ist ein guter Freund von mir und ein super Kerl), what sights he would recommend. This was condensed from three different emails.... hence a blog-versation.

Q: Hey Rob, what sights can you recommend seeing while visiting Berlin this weekend?

A: Ok, here are some suggestions; the best of berlin ... suggested sights

Berlin’s Best Sights – By Rob Schaeffer

1) Brandenburger Tor and Unter den Linden (famous East Berlin Shopping Street with Humboldt University and Embassies)
2) Reichstag (seat of German Parliament) and the glass dome - can go up there, very nice, but always line-ups
3) Siegessaeule (victory column)
4) Berliner Dom (huge cathedral) - very nice
5) Holocaust Memorial
6) Palace of the Republic - East Germany's parliament building
7) Checkpoint Charlie and Museum
8) Rathaus Schoeneberg (City hall) - Kennedy's Ich bin ein Berliner speech
9) Potsdamer Platz/Sony Center - modern complex, shops, cinemas, etc....
10) Funkturm or fernsehturm - towers for panorama observation
11) Kudamm and Gedaechtniskirche - nice shopping street and famous memorial church
12) Kadewe - Berlin's Harrods
13) Museum Island (pergamon Museum)

Erik, this should be enough for now. if u want more or more elaborations on the above, let me know..........by the way, this is no coolness ranking.......and it would be quite hard to do such a ranking.....all of it is interesting

Geographical Locations:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 13 – are in the centre so all within walking distance
9 and 10 are only 2 stops or so from the city centre
11 and 12 are close together and also only a few stops from the city centre
7 is a lil way off but easy accessible by subway
8 is further away, maybe 10 min by subway


Have a good time!

Please pick me up a Berlin Starbuck coffee mug... just kidding!!!
