Discovering Jewish Museum, Berlin

Where : Berlin’s Jewish museum Discovering Jewish Museum, Berlin We don’t usually visit museums, so we’re very selective on the ones we choose.  We decided to visit the Jewish Museum in Berlin because we heard it was one of the most complete Jewish Museum in Europe.  Also, according Wikipedia it is the largest one too. The museum is located in a nice area of Berlin with a modern style building. The entrance fee was quite reasonable, we paid around $ 8.00 euros per person. How long can we stay ? We spent at least 3 hours ourselves but it’s worth noting that you can spend an entire day exploring if you wish.. It was a breath of fresh air, because many

Discovering Underground Tours, Berlin

Where : Bunker Berliner Unterwelten Discovering Berliner Unterwelten – Berlin Bunker Tours The Berliner Unterwelten is a subterranean museum that must be visited with a guide. This is an amazing opportunity to explore Berlin’s underground history and to visit World War II bunkers.  They are located near the Gesundbrunnen Underground station with the half demolished bunker in the park across the street, which we’ll elaborate in the blog. Many tours to choose from Our ideal tour was to discover underground tunnels that were dug during the cold war.  However, it was unavailable for reasons we forget.  There are many tours to choose from but they did not seem to run every single day. So be sure to check the schedule and availability

Once there, we were told few visitors attractions were available and the factory was closed for visits on weekends. This is when we decided to visit the Volkswagen museum to make the most of the day.  Serge wouldn’t go down without a

Where : Auto Museum Volkswagen Discovering Auto Museum Volkswagen How to get there The Volkswagen Auto Museum is located in Wolfsburg. Since we had the Eurail pass, we took the train, which was a 90 minute ride.  Then, from the Wolfsburg train station it’s a breezy 20 minute walk.  It’s not the most scenic walk, but it was nice to get some exercise. How’s the museum ? The museum doesn’t have a really high tech or modern structure, it looks like a basic factory with a bunch of cars inside. There’s a hallway

Where : East Side Gallery Discovering East Side Gallery, Berlin When we arrived at the East side of the Berlin Wall, we finally understood the idea that “Every crack tells a thousand stories”.  We were impressed with the wall size, the longest remaining section of the Berlin wall. It’s now covered with graffiti (or art) many with a political message. It’s hard to believe it existed in the first place. It’s purpose, was to control the movement of people on various territories (the French, British and Russians). The East side goes along

Discovering Reichstag Building, Berlin

Where : Reichstag Building Discovering Reichstag Building, Berlin We tried to spontaneously visit Reichstag during a spring afternoon on spring, but it was not possible. In order to visit the Reichstag, we needed to subscribe earlier in the morning (or even longer in advance). Also, they require photo ID for your visit, in our case they asked for our passports.  We enrolled in a small office across the street from the building, beside a king of snack bar.  Since it was too late to visit that afternoon, we decided to enrol in advance! The good thing you don’t need to pay, it’s totally FREE to visit !! The next day, we simply needed to show up at the front of the
