"Berlin" Berlin by phil_uk_net


Berlin Travel Guide: 7,871 reviews and 14,069 photos

This is another page that I am trying to build on the basis of a few old photos and some very sketchy memories. At one point in my life I used to just book flights to European cities for a few days and nothing else. I'd find accommodation and things to do when I got there. Where were you VT when I needed you?
Berlin was one such trip. When I went it was almost 3 years since the wall had come down but there were still stark differences between the east and west. I would loved to have visited before the wall came down and gone over to the east but alas I was too late.

    Phil,I climbed the Berliner Dom: great! and about TV towers: there was one in front of my hotel! But I do love Germany to travel around by car, have lots of pages.....they are my neighbours so it is quite easy for me to go there! elisabeth

    I also visited Berlin for the first time after the wall falled down, now it must have been changed a lot!

    Hi! 1st General pic is Gendarmenmarkt (I think it's "Französischer Dom" but it looks almost the same as "Deutscher Dom" so I am not sure), 2nd one is Berlin Cathedral ("Berliner Dom"). Hope this helps!
