First Visit-May 2003
Berlin was the first place that I visited in what I call my ‘solo’ holiday phase in 2003, and it seems such a time ago I can’t remember why I choice to go there first. Though looking through my photographs and deciding which ones to choose to write tips about I have became aware I missed numerous interesting places to visit. I have decided that a second visit is called for, though it will probably be during my ‘couple’ holiday phase. I believe that my solo visits are in effect a reconnaissance exercise, so that during future visits, I will know exactly what to visit and what to miss.
Second Visit-September 2007
Well I have spent another 14 days in Berlin on another solo visit. I decided to re-visit after I spent an enjoyable 16 days in Germany during the summer of 2007. I achieved all the goals I set myself before I left but still feel there is still more to see in this vibrant city. This time I gave the public transport system a hammering and discovered its easy to use and it is an excellent mode of transport.
Third Visit-March 2008
Well I have made a third visit to Berlin. The public transport strike had ended and I discovered new places to visit becoming more adventurous with what I did. The only downside was the camcorder developing a fault and I caught a cold, which is unusual for me.
Fourth Visit-June 2008
I have completed my fourth trip to Berlin. This time I went further afield to Seelow, Berlin-Gatow and Bernau.
Fifth Visit-September 2008 I have completed another trip to Berlin and the warm weather was a change from the persistent rain in the UK. I tried a different hotel and went to numerous places I have never visited before.
Sixth Visit-November 2008 I have just returned from another trip to Berlin. This time I visited Wandlitz, just outside Berlin and revisited some of the larger museums.
Seventh Visit-March 2009 I travelled to some places outside the city including Halbe, Zossen & Bogensee. Plus renewed visits to some old and new places.
Eight Visit-May 2009 I travelled to some places outside the city including a day trip to Kostrzyn, Wandlitz and Prenden. |

It's fantastic how many interesting museums and places you discovered, like, e.g., the equivalent of our Umschlagplatz. Great informative page with excellent photographs. | christine.j Sat Aug 30, 2008 09:58 UTC Excellent updates, Alan! You're fast becoming VT's Berlin expert. |
