Depends where you're staying, Wrex. Potsdammer Platz, Checkpoint Charlie, Kaiser Wilhelm Church, Jewish museum and the Brandenburg Gate together with the Reichstag are all must-see, really. You can walk the lot in about 4 hours.

I certainly did,sat in a Starbucks watching Micky mouse,a Bear and two soldiers from Russia,America all trying to have a picture.We stayed in a Swissotel near the Europa center and Zoo gardens,easy on the underground,really enjoyed the Olympic  stadium and check point Charlie,with such a easy flying time its well worth a visit and is not too dear.

You'd also like the trains they have, ME; overground, underground, surface. And they all run on time :-))
