Of particular odd lots people, this country full of history, diversity of landscapes and even language, which for a few years before I dared to study a bit ... But I must confess also that I have and have always had a fondness for Berlin, between all cities this fantastic country! Many speak and I had an opportunity to meet the charisma of Munich, sobriety Hamburg, Heidelberg romanticism and grandeur of Frankfurt. But to say that Berlin brings together all these attributes and many others is no exaggeration; and it is with much love and joy that I will try to share here on Packing column a little of everything that I know of this magnificent city. Accommodation
Since the fall of the wall in 1989 that efforts to reunify and rebuild the former East Berlin are evident. So the trick is hosting the former communist Berlin, now breathes more oxygen capitalism that your other half. The most charming and newly renovated hotels are decidedly on the east side of town. The Adlon Hotel (www.kempinski.com/en/berlinadlon) is the most perfect translation of this truth. Closed since the end of World War II, was renovated with perfection and is beside a postcard to Berlin: Brandenburg Gate. And the avenue that can be considered a major artery of the German capital: Unter den Linden. However, if you prefer to relive the heyday of West Berlin in the 1970s and 80s, a great option is staying at the Intercontinental Berlin (www.berlin.intercontinental.com) which lies at the heart of traditional Kurfürstendamm. Museums
"Berlin and its spectacular museums!" You've probably heard this phrase. Must have also heard that it would be a huge get to know them all silly in their sole or first visit. odd lots In my opinion, the unmissable are the Pergamon (www.smpk.de) with its display of art and architecture of Greece, Babylon, and the Roman and Islamic Empires. Can you imagine whole streets of Babylon rebuilt? And a gigantic altar of 165 BC, which was brought from Turkey and current that gives the name to the Museum?
Other excellent choices are the Bode Museum, known by many as the German Louvre, which was reopened in 2007 after a long period of reforms; as well as the Altes Museum which houses among many highlights odd lots nothing less than a vast treasure: the head of Nefertiti, who was previously displayed in the Egyptian Museum.
There is no talk in Berlin and not to mention MANY times so famous and abominable wall that divided the city and separated families during odd lots the Cold War. The Museum of the Wall at Friedrichstrasse. There you will learn from the causes to the consequences of its construction.

The way it is cosmopolitan, Berlin offers everything from the most traditional German cuisine to the best restaurants of international food. Great chefs make a banquet in Berlin city form. For all tastes and all pockets.
If you want to relive the good part of the dispute between the French and the Germans go to Borchardt (in Französische Strasse 47) and sample the best of the Franco-German menu. It's a bit of Beverly Hills in the heart of Berlin. The place to see and be seen: beaultiful people, great food.
If there is a valuable tip is this: We can not visit Berlin without knowing the Parliament (Reichstag in German) odd lots and be dazzled by the brand new dome designed by Norman Foster that both contrasts with the ancient architecture of the building. And to escape the huge queue that rages daily in front of the Parliament? Make a reservation with the help of your concierge for lunch at Ker's: restaurant located on the rooftop. You will enter through the side, eating super well and come across a breathtaking view. After? Go meet Parliament!
The best of French cuisine whom I met in Berlin is in Margaux (Unter den Linden, 78 tel. 22652611). Awarded a star in the Guide Michelin, you agree that you have error? The carrara marble odd lots floors and burgundy velvet armchairs make the perfect ambiance!
