Berlin Travel Notes & Attractions Guide 🇩🇪✨

Quick Tips: 🚌 Public Transport: Buy tickets on BVV (recommend Berlin Welcome Card). For intercity travel, check DB—the Deutschland Ticket (€58/month) covers all German transport (except high-speed trains), including Berlin’s transit. If you have this, no need for separate city tickets! 🏛️ Reichstag (Parliament Building): Requires advance booking. Walk-ins can try the Berlin Pavilion nearby, but same-day slots are rare (next-day usually available). 🏝️ Museum Island: Get a day pass (€12 for students—worth it for just 2 museums). Must-sees: Neues Museum (hello, Nefertiti! 👑), Altes Museum. Allow 2+ hours per museum. Free audio guides (Chinese/English available). Pergamon is under renovation but has a cool 360° dome show (lighting could be better…). 🎟️ No reservation needed for: Brandenburg Gate 🏛️ Humboldt Forum 🌏 World Clock (Urania) ⏰ Jewish Memorial 🕊️ East Side Gallery 🎨 Oberbaum Bridge 🌉 Berlin Cathedral ⛪ Aldon Hotel 🏨 Street photography spots 📸 TU Berlin 🏫 Final Thoughts: Berlin is vibrant, safe, and welcoming—no pickpockets or open racism encountered (can’t speak for behind-the-scenes, but people were friendly!). Food scene is decent, streets are lively. A perfect mix of history and modernity! #Berlin #TravelGuide #MuseumIsland #EastSideGallery 🚆🌍
