Berlin Meetup - November 13-15

Lanfear · 10-21-2009, 08:25 AM

OK everybody - lets get into planning mode:

I'm pretty sure we will not be bored and will have lots of fun but I just wanna get a rough idea of what stuff you wanna do.

Just to repeat we had the following already:

Pub crawl:
We'll go to at least 5 of Berlin's best bars and clubs.
€12 – Includes FREE BEER until 9pm, FREE JÄGERMEISTER SHOT with every drink in our bars throughout the night, all entrance into clubs, and a better time!
SANDEMANs NEW Berlin Tours - Home of the Famous Free Tour! - The New Berlin Pub Crawl
Insomniac Tours - Berlin Pub Crawl

Free walking tour:
SANDEMANs NEW Berlin Tours - Home of the Famous Free Tour! - The New Berlin Free Tour

Berlin Welcome Card / Public Transport:
Berlin WelcomeCard - Home

But we need more ideas I think - unless we will just resort to drinking all day every day which might work as well ...

Anyway I haven't been in Berlin in more than 10 years so I'd like to do some touristy stuff: www.visitberlin.de
- definitely Pergamon Altar museum
- Reichstags-Kuppel (dome/roof ???)
- maybe go up to the viewing platform of the Fernsehturm (telecomunication tower)
- stroll/shop in the Prenzlauer Berg area
- ...

A Comedy show probably wouldn't work due to the language barrier but a show might be fun:
Soap - The Show
Its kind of "Cirque du Solei"-ish but with bathtubs and looks quite fun, obviously not very cheap (31-39 EUR) but maybe this would be fun for Sunday afternoon when Viola (who probably is most strapped for cash) needs to leave already anyway? Thoughts? Just throwing it out there I don't mind if everybody else thinks its stupid

Come on add some ideas!

I'm up for all of the things you have mentioned. From my reading the telecommunications tower sounds really neat. And my friend told me the free walking tour was also awesome. I always like museums and yeah I am sorta strapped for cash but yall can have a great time at the soap show!

The free walking tour and the pub crawl are awesome ideas, we should definitely do that!
There are two public bus lines (100 and 200) that pass all major sights. It's pretty much like a sightseeing tour, but all you pay is the public bus fare.
We should definitely do Prenzlauer Berg, the area has such a special vibe. Great stores, bars, restaurants and it's really cheap.
As far as the Reichstag dome - I'd be in, it's worth it. Went up there a few years ago and enjoyed it. However, there's always really long lines. Shouldn't be a problem either since I have an insider tip on how to skip the lines..lol.
I'm going to do some research, too, and will hopefully post some more suggestions soon :-)

I'm all in for the program (if enough mentally damaged i could even find the fruity bathtub musical hilarious and deeply poetic

).

Will all you nice and organized people bring a camera and take lots of pictures. Because if i do, it will be lost after twenty seconds...

Awww, you americans are soooo cute.....

For JuneDon, Gunner and I were drunk before noon and it was an awesome weekend. So, with that said, NoBer will be no different! KATG events are the only time I am ever drunk during daylight and that makes it so much funner!

foxdougan · 10-25-2009, 01:04 PM

Hi there KATGers - it's been ages since I was last on... but you might remember me from the London show a couple of years ago!

Anyway, I'm living in Germany now, so count me in (I'm on the list under my twitter name)!
