Was in Berlin over the summer for a very short time, passing into and out of Europe... 1 night in Berlin each way.

I can't recommend anything specific for the holiday and didn't get to see much, but after going there briefly and then on to 4 other central Europe cities I figured out that I made a big mistake in not spending more time in Berlin and it is the first place I want to go back.

2 things that stood out were:
- the Berlin Wall (called the east-side gallery) where they have mural-graffiti all over the remaining section.
- Brandenberg Gate

The trains were very easy to figure our for us non German speaking newbies, as opposed to some other cities.

But, in my opinion the best thing about Berlin was THE PEOPLE, incredibly welcoming and outgoing, men and woman alike ! Just talk to people every chance you get. (For the last generation or so, all Germans are required to take English from grade-school on)
