Hello people of QBN,
I am going to Berlin between Christmas and New Year for 10 days.
We're traveling in a group of 4, and have our accommodation sorted, but were hoping for tips on where to go and what to see.
We're keen to make it quite a partying trip, but also see some sights and attractions. What's good that's not too touristy? Any inside information is more than welcome.
Also, best bars and clubs? Best areas to go out in etc?
Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas.

also i would definitely recommend working out your plan of attack for new years (which is called Silvester) and try and get tickets before hand.. otherwise be prepared for hours of standing out in the snow..

Stattbad wedding
Gestalten store
Haus Schwarzenberg - specifically Neurotitan and Eschloraque
Jewish Memorial
Brandenburg gate
Reichstag

I used to read a copy of zitty in a cafe/bar during breakfast and planned my evenings from there. But it's been a while I didn't visit, so I don't know if it's still the way to go.

autoflavour - sounds like my kind of place!
Do you need to get tickets? Is there a way I can book a table? How does it work? I'm so used to London NYE ballache that I want to be prepared.
I googled it, but can't seem to find any helpful information regarding tickets etc.
Thanks dude
- I think you can only get tickets at the door. Since this is one of the most popular clubs in town and it’s new years eve better prepare to wait in the line for a long timepressplay
- ...prepare to wait in the line in the cold for a long time... or go early get the entry and then come back later...pressplay
- yeah probably wont be presale.. maybe.. hard to tell.
autoflavour - Pressplay, i checked online, but couldnt see. is Stattbad doing anything for Silvester?autoflavour

I'm going for NYE too. Berghain is going to be a bitch to go in that night, but I've been before (not in NYE though).
