there is so much more than the center of Berlin. I am a born Berliner living in in California since 1962 due to a marriage of a wonderful man from the USA. Every show shows only the Landmarks, but go and visit the outer districts and subburbs (Vororte) , Zehlendorf, Charlottenburg, Grunewald and so many more to get a new a new view of this great city. I miss it every day, the great culture, food and its people, I am to old now being a handicapped widower to go back and visit the city of my birth, missing curry wurst and Schwarzbrot (ryebread), so I visit in my dreams.
Good on Germans for owning up to the atrocities they did in the past and building memorials in the center of the city. Americans, Chinese, Japanese, Turks and many other nations should do the same.
This video is so awesome! My class is studying the holocaust and it's amazing how an entire city has moved forward after something so unspeakably horrible. It's a beautiful metaphor of how we can all choose to change and grow together despite appalling devastation. @Maxandsidney😍
Beautifully said! We’re so glad you enjoyed the video!
smart video, and yes I've been to Berlin 5 times ... I ❤ Berlin
Sincere thanks for reminding me of so many reasons why spending time in Berlin always has been so enjoyable for me. Several times since I taught and conducted research at Humboldt University while on a Fulbright-sponsored sabbatical leave from North Carolina State University in 1995-96.
Thank you so much for watching! So awesome to hear that special personal connection you have with Berlin! We absolutely loved the city and hope to return some day 😊
I tend to come back to UA-cam to find videos of cities in Europe I have been. There are a lot of videos out there, but none that come close to yours. The level of history that you give with the respect to the city you are visiting, is very refreshing and I am truly appreciative of what you do. You went to all the places I wanted to see again except for the victory column in the middle of Tiergarten. Thank you so much for bringing back great memories, and doing it with such class.
Wow, thank you so much for that wonderful compliment! We enjoyed Berlin so much, we are glad that we were able to portray that in the video. So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this wonderful, informative video. I can't wait to be there at the end of March 2024.
Have an awesome time! Thanks for watching 😊
Planning a trip in Mid April 2024 . Enjoyed your guide,
So happy to hear that! Have a great trip, it is an awesome city!
Thank you very much for this wonderful video. I visited Berlin last year, August-September, 2023, but I want to go back on 2025 to see much more of the things you showed us here. Thanks a lot, have fun.
Visited Berlin last week and I regret not seeing your videos before the travel. ❤
Thank you for watching! We’re glad you found us even though it was after your trip! Hope you enjoyed your time in Berlin, we loved it there 😊
I'm going in July from Los Angeles to see Rammstein. Can't wait.
Sounds like a great time! Enjoy Berlin and the concert!
Small correction: only one of the two politicians ‘kissing’ on the EastSide Gallery was East German - Erich Honecker, the leader of the GDR. The other politician was ‘Big Brother’ Leonid Brezhnev, the long serving Soviet leader … and the ‘Kiss’ was based on an actual kiss between them both - with the sense of ‘please spare is from this deadly embrace’
I want to go back. Visited when I was a teen and the city was still divided!
I just like to say thank you for your great videos. I use a lot of your tips and choices. We had a great time. Just got back. Can't wait to go back to Berlin again. People please watch these videos. They are such a great help
My 17 year old wants to do Berlin as his graduation gift so in 3 months I am taking him to Berlin from Phoenix. This video was amazing as my son is a WWII buff so he is going to find all of this interesting and we are staying at the Arcotel JFK so right near the road you walked. Thank you again for this video !
So happy to hear that our video was useful! Berlin is a fascinating city, especially for history enthusiasts. You and your son are going to have such a great time! 👍
This is one of the best tourist videos on UA-cam. Great job!
Wow, thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! 👍
We'll be visiting Berlin in April 2024. Thanks for the video
Never forget !
👍
Good information .I am going there next weekend from Ireland for the 100 th year celebration of BMW motorcycles .I lived in Berlin for a year way back in 1978 and have been back once since then around 2004 .A lot of the rebuilding had been done by then .
I am in Berlin at the moment visiting and your video was a great help, thank you so much.
You are very welcome, so happy to hear that! Enjoy the rest of your time in Berlin!
Amazing, thanks for sharing
I’m looking forward to visit berlin
Of course, thanks for checking out our channel!

Cool video, thanks for posting. There are so many great places to visit once you are there. For a history of the Berlin Wall, Bernauerstrasse is a must see with it’s open air museum and visitors centre, the Wannsee lake and parks, Stasi Museum, Hohenschonhausen Prison. The list goes on…..
Thanks for watching! We definitely have to check out Bernauerstrasse next time, so much history in Berlin, we definitely have to visit again
Amazing, thanks for sharing
I’m looking forward to travel to Berlin

Thanks for the sharing
Watching from Lahore Pakistan ❤
Thanks for watching, so glad you enjoyed!
You’re a great tour guide i learnt a lot from you, thanks
So glad to hear that!! We appreciate you watching 😊
I’ve visited Berlin recently and i LOVE it. I’m a huge history nerd and i love the German culture. Berlin is a 10/10 for me and would highly recommend going if you ever get the opportunity.
Definitely agree!! LOVE Berlin!
Great video!! Thank you
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Loved Berlin,stunning❤
Hi guys; travelling to Berlin in October this year with my wife and 9-year-old son for 3 days. Thanks for all the tips of what to see and do there.
You’re so welcome, we’re very glad to hear the video was helpful! We hope you have a fantastic time in Berlin with your family, it’s such an interesting place with so much to see! 😊
Returning to Berlin in October, so I was hoping you had some suggestions for places I haven’t yet seen. I did like the respectful way you spoke about the Memorial to the Jews, and the Brandenburg Gate. One of the best things I did on my previous visit was to see the Palace of Tears at the Friedrichstrasse station…great museum there on the travel restrictions on families living in East and West.
Thanks for the great info, looking forward to seeing Berlin
Absolutely! Thanks for watching and enjoy your time in Berlin!
@@MaxandSidney thanks guys
Thank you so much for this video. You really did a nice job of portraying the city and the history behind it. We plan to visit Berlin in 2024. My sister and I went to the Berlin wall in the 70's. We were collage age and we were afraid to go Inside Berlin. The wall was guarded and I remember not being able to hear any noises on the other side. ... no dogs barking or horns honking.... Nothing of life on the other side...it really was very eerie and very emotional. i will never forget it. I'm so glad to see that they do have the bricks lined on the ground to remember this wall, to get the feeling of how the city was so divided. And as you said, how families and friends were separated from each other for over 30 years.
Wow, that must have been such a surreal experience to see the wall standing. Thank you for watching our video, we are so glad you liked it! We hope you enjoy your visit when you go back next year!
I do recommend a visit to the Berlin Wall memorial at Bernauer strasse and to book a guided tour with Berliner Unterwelten especially their tour of one of the escape tunnels at Brunnenstrasse. Highly recommended. Both checkpoint Charlie and East Site Gallery are kind of fake. Bernauer Strasse gives you a really good overview of the system that was the border wall.
@@urbandiscount Thank you for this information. I will check this out! Sounds very interesting.
Its the street next to the apartment building that was so close to the wall....
VERY well done, really enjoyed all the facts!
Fabulous insight, I'm there for 2 days next month given me some great ideas, thanks guys👍
So happy to hear that! We hope you have an amazing time 😁
Amazing...thank you.
Of course! Thank you for watching, so happy you enjoyed it 😊
I found visit to the Olympicstadium to be amazing. So much to see and do there on the tour
We didn’t get out there, definitely wish we did. It looks massive!
@@MaxandSidney oh it was fantastic more than just a football stadium. So much WW2 history to see. Also WW2 built swimming pool in summer that’s lovely to use
Hey, wonderful video. Watching all the way from Fiji, planning on travelling to Berlin soon. This was very helpful.
So happy to hear it was helpful! Best wishes to you in Fiji 🇫🇯 and have an amazing time visiting Berlin!
Very educational video - thanks for sharing! Nice to see your brother and mom too, Max! 😀
So glad you enjoyed it, we had a great time exploring Berlin! Thanks for watching 😊
Watching from Canada and moving to Berlin June, 2023. Your video is the best I‘ve seen about Berlin. Keep up the great work! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 P.S. I’m going to school in July around the corner from Checkpoint Charlie on Charlottenstraße.
Thank you for the compliment, we are so happy that you enjoyed the video! We hope you enjoy your move to Berlin, it must be an awesome place to live!
Nice job!
Thank you! So glad you liked it!
Great video ❤
So happy to hear that you enjoyed it! Thanks for checking out our channel!
The kiss: It is not two German men. It is General Secretary of the Soviet union Leonid Bresjnev and the East German leader Erich Honecker, October 07, 1979. It is called a "bruderkuss" (Brother kiss).
It was so interesting learning about all of the history, and seeing so many expressions on the wall. What a fascinating city, not many cities went through what they went through
Good video!
Thank you! We appreciate you watching! 👍
I was stationed there from 1989 to 1991, U.S. Army B Co. 6/502 inf... saw all the sites would love to go back and see how it's changed!!!
Wow, that must have been a very interesting time to be there. It has definitely changed a lot, one of the most vibrant capitals in Europe!
@@MaxandSidney Yes it was, I saw the wall when it was up and when it came down...an amazing time for the citizens of Berlin!!!
@@kennethroy7522 you'll be surprized what has changed over the years
Hey guys , thanks for so informative video. Can you guide how much time is required to cover all the places you have shown in the video. Also, anything else to be covered in Berlin. I am planning a 3 day trip to Berlin. Thanks and keep up the good work and keep helping the fellow travelers. Cheers
Thanks for watching, so glad it was helpful! 3 days is plenty of time to do everything in this video, and maybe a little extra. Berlin is HUGE, and there is so much to see. You definitely won’t run out of things to do!
Hi watching from Philippines
Thanks for checking out our channel! Excited to visit the Philippines someday! 😃🇵🇭
going in September 2023 to run BMW Berlin Marathon!
Wow, best of luck! What an incredible experience!
A nice and informative video, but the TV tower was not built by the Soviets. It was built by the GDR and the GDR was not a Soviet state. Unfortunately, you often mix up socialism, communism and the Soviets. These terms are not interchangeable and have different meanings.
It’s so crazy to think about the concentration of influences in one city. It was really fascinating to explore. Thanks for watching and for the info! 😄
For everyone watching it in March 2023. DDR Museum is closed until 31.03.2023
Oh no! Hoping they re-open in April. It’s a very interesting museum!
@@MaxandSidney I imagine! Was a bit surprised when I arrived there yesterday 😅
I live in Berlin
It must be so fun to actually live there!
Du arme Sau😁😁😁😁😁
It was not two East German politicians… one of them was Leonid Breshnev!
what camera do you use?
Sony a7iii 😊
with love, gal amar from israel
Thanks for watching! 😊
overall good -- but contains some factual errors -- the Fernsehturm was built by the GDR, not "the Soviets" -- the person who kisses GDR party and state leader Erich Honecker is not "another East German politician" but Soviet leader Leonid I. Brezhnev. Also: the division into a sinister and totalitarian East vs. a free and self-directed West is a little too sweeping and simplistic. "Belgrade" and former Yugoslavia were never part of the Eastern Bloc and had a economic and political system quite different from the one in the Soviet-dominated realm. Details matter. Finally, the GDR's Stalinist and post-Stalinist model of state "socialism" should be more clearly distinguished from other forms of socialism, such as democratic socialism, socialism from below, and critical Marxism as an analytical tool. The DDR-Museum is too sensationalized and does only provide a very superficial take on actual life in the GDR. One learns much more by reading Katja Hoyer's recent book "Beyond the Wall."
Thanks for the info! It is a very dense and intimidating history. So much to learn. We’ll definitely look into that book! Thanks for watching 😁
Why is it, that you travel to Ber-LIN, to see the BER-lin wall? Would somone make up their mind as to how to pronounce the city?
The proper way would be Ber-LIN - so where's that BER-lin atrocity coming from???
Hahaha, never noticed that before! There is a town called New BER-lin in my home state, maybe that's where it comes from 😂 I'll be sure to say Ber-LIN Wall from now on 👍 thanks for watching!
Hier gibt es nichts zu sehen, Leute, nichts zu sehen. Kehren Sie zu Ihren Häusern und Geschäftsorten zurück. Und ja, zwei gefrorene Hortensien sind hier, aber das ist nichts, was man sich auf dem Heimweg ansehen könnte. Vielleicht sehen Sie eine wilde Zwiebel oder einen Teo, aber das ist auch schon alles. Kehren Sie zu Ihren Häusern und Geschäftsorten zurück. Wir machen in dieser Stadt keinen Spaß, Sie sehen, wir können es gebrauchen. Gehen Sie zurück in Ihre Häuser und Geschäftsräume, dies ist nicht das Dritte Reich. Holen Sie sich eine Limonade oder einen Kaffee oder so und legen Sie sich hin

Many, many +++ Mistakes in the whole walk through Berlin. It's not only the Mistakes its
wrong what you talk. I'm a City Guide in Berlin Capital of the GDR from 1986 until 1989 and from 1992 until today for whole Berlin....
Wolfgang Berlinü
Would love to go on a tour with you, Wolfgang! Absolutely loved our time in Berlin, would be happy to come back and see more 😊
Berlin looks sooo depressing
Sorry, but this was a very uninspiring video. Some small facts were wrong, but worse is that you were suggesting all the crappy tourist sites. You did not visit any interesting neighborhoods, and learned nothing about the people who live in Berlin. I would suggest you take an alternative tour the next time you are in Berlin. You can see the authentic Berlin, and not where to get currywurst at Checkpoint Charlie.
Sorry to hear you feel that way! We had a fantastic time putting this video together and we really enjoyed Berlin! We appreciate you watching anyway 😊 we definitely hope to visit again and see more!
Sometimes tourists, especially 1st time visitors, want to do all the major touristy spots in the city.
