[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to the TripAdvisor Forums and ask the same questions.  People on these forums can't seem to focus on the actual question asked and will give you nonsensical advice you didn't ask--like going to the Cotswolds when you asked about specific cities.

I can help with Berlin, I'm from there.  But my best advice is to ask again on Trip Advisor forums.  Berlin is a fantastic city, and I'd recommend watching Berlin Babylon on Netflix before you go.  Great show, and will get you in the mood.  Berlin never sleeps (stiil) and there is much to do and see, both outdoors and historical.

My other piece of advice would be to not take on too much.  Also perhaps fly from Berlin to Munich, spend a day there (no more) and then take the train to Florence.  it's a lovely train ride and you'll enjoy going through the Alps.  Alternatively, you can drive but it will take longer. If you choose to do that, stop by Salzburg, Herrenchiemsee, Berchtesgaden.  Google the images, you'll see why I suggest them.

Have fun.[/quote]

NP here. Agree and in spite of my agreement on going to other forums, I will nonetheless add my two cents.  LOL Definitely go to Berlin.  Coolest city in Germany.  Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Alexander Platz, Museum Island; and you like Cold War History, go see what reamains of the Wall, see Treptower Park, Checkpoint Charlie, and I don't know, is there a tour of Stasi HQ?  Take note of the Aeroflot office near the Brandenburg Gate - was used to spy on our embassy...also take note of the pedestrian lights - they were different in the East, cute little men with hats.  https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/09/the-little-traffic-light-man-that-could/279968/   It's been ages since I lived there so much has changed.  Now there is a Holocaust memorial.  You could spend several weeks in each of your destinations, but these would be my top choices in Berlin.   [/quote]
