‘Everyone said “Berlin is wonderful” but I think it is like London- a bit over hyped. Maybe I’ll give it another try someday’

Really surprised that you think that? Maybe somebody has been on the road a little to long

I agree about Berlin. I have lived here for over a year now and although you can not generalize about an entire city, I do find it to be an unfriendly city. I have met lots of great people but the needlessly rude people I have run into are without a doubt the rudest, too cool for school people I have ever come across. Get over yourself!

Thanks for the insight! Am going to visit Munich next fall for a few days and am glad to have this straightforward info. on what to see/what to skip.

I love ya NM, but Berlin is a simply gift to the world of travel: a split city made into one that we still get to watch evolve before our travel eyes. And 20 year is just a blip. I always find myself enjoying places amidst change. Munich will be more or less Munich for another 100 years, Paris will be Paris, Phoenix will be Phoenix. But we’re still not sure what Berlin will be. That’s why I need to spend more time there now.

I didn’t really care too much for Berlin when I was there. It’s a nice place to look at for sure, the architecture is interesting – if you like that sort of thing – but Berlin lacked a warmness that other smaller German cities seem to have.

I did very high expectations for the city after listening to people talk about it. That very well could be the problem.

They are at the bridge near the beginning of the English Gardens.

Berlin is still worth a second look. I’ll give it another go. Maybe it was the high expectations I had for it.

Munich is a fantastic city, but I also liked Berlin.

Berlin is not as clean, modern or pretty as Munich but it is a very culturally vibrant city. A-train in Berlin is one of the best blues bars I have ever been to.
