  Great hotel and good service. Breakfast in their grand café is busy but good, and the terrace is like a Parisian terrace, perfect for late afternoon drinks in the sun.

Restaurants:

• Ristorante Nuovo Mario in Charlottenburg am Kurfürstendamm. White tablecloths, fresh vegetable decorations, great wines, best food, good authentic Italian service.
• Sets: Breakfast & brunch, healthy and other options
• Big Bascha: Best & most affordable Lebanese food. Cash only. Outside terrace, free tea.

Activities:

• Hop on Hop Off Bus
• Fat Tire Bike Tour
• East Side Gallery of the Wall
• Berlin Story Museum
• Sanssouci Gardens and Palace
  (Potsdam - Approx 1 hour outside of Berlin)
• Stasi Museum
•  Tiergarten: A beautiful and a great way to spend some time outdoors. The Rose Garden is lovely.

Other Tips:

• Book the Berlin Reichstag and Dome the moment you know your dates.
• Use the public transportation.
• Skip the Checkpoint Charlie Museum
• Always pay in local currency (when offered the choice to choose your own with card), stores otherwise have the ultimate freedom to apply their own (higher) exchange rates.
