holocaust memorial.
if you're short of time don't bother standing in line for the Reichstag. Unless you book in advance because then you get to see inside the building proper...
holocaust memorial = cock
or to be mre specific:
genocide memory + dunkin' donuts + kids playing hide and seek + museum shop
=
cock
...but i guess you got to tick that box. I know I did within my first week or two.
I personally found, the Monument to the Dead Soviet soldiers nearby is more interesting, possibly because if feels more historically 'charged' then the rather bland and orchestrated Holocaust Memorial (which I have to admist is nice in a purely formal, material way)
...but also for the crazy style of the Russian tourists, who are the only other people who go to see it!.|..|
My favourite museum in Berlin, if your interested in design and objects, and all that kind of stuff (and one with no tourists, dunkin' dounuts, ...etc) is the small and independently-run Museum of the Things (
Museum Der Dinge)
When my brother was over, brought him on one of the
Berlin Underground tours and if was pretty enjoyable and different.
But maybe I'm just weird....
...scratch that, just go to Brandenburg Tor and the Sony Centre.
