Was in Germany (West Germany as it was then ) for 10 years and Berlin is a beautiful city!
Get yourself to the Kurferstendamm and get a Jager schnitzel (Veal and mushrooms) in your belly!
The local beer is Holsten Pilsner!

Nice beer, although my favourite was Koenigspilsner and then Becks!
Went to Berlin for a week to play football, but did a bit of sightseeing and went past Spandau prison, whilst Hess was still being held there!

Also if you want a pint of bow theres a pub called the irish times that do it on draught, its on leipzierstrasse.
