StefanAVFC Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 RyanAir out. Fly Be back. And I'm flying from Berlin to Köln (with AirBerlin) because the train is expensive and takes forever. Only cost £120 in total for the flights.

JoshVilla Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Berlin is a good shout, fantastic city. Would recommend the Pangea People hostel if you're looking for somewhere cheap and in a good spot. It's right by Alexanderplatz so it's pretty central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Koln is a great shout. Went there for a stag do a few yrs back. Loads of bars about and all really friendly. Apparently it's Germany's stag/hen location for German. We saw about 8 different groups. Hens in Germany apparently have a tradition where they have to sell items (shots, sex accessories (only small play ones) etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish If you want weird Berlin there was a restaurant - I think its still open - which is basically totally in the dark where you get served by blind waiters Do one of the beer bike trips from by the Brandenburg Gate - always good fun and you get to speak to a few other slightly drunk tourists 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 There's a bar called Erdbeer in Berlin, which, not surprisingly given their name do the best strawberry daquiris in the world (IMO). edit: just checked and its closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 All about the döner, anywhere. Germans love the doner but I still generally find you get better Kebabs in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
