Caroline's Berlin tips
Gastroszene
Vietnamese: It is always busy and not a secret tip anymore, but the food at Monsieur Vuong is delicious. Service is super friendly and the interior is warm and stylish. If you do not want to queue in line, get there around 11.40 for lunch. They open at 12.00, but start serving earlier.

Green: with the S2 or S25 you can conveniently go straight south to Priesterweg where you can head into the Schöneberger Südgelände. It used to be a railway shunting yard. After the railyard closed, a "primeval forest" grew upon the 18‐hectare site. The large photo in our children bedroom was taken there. There is a nice café in the Park that is open on the weekends.

This is a very nice and not so well known lake near Oranienburg. You need a car though to get there. You can park near the Cafe "Alte Fähre" and cross the bridge over the canal. The little beach is not far. Ca. 50 min. by car.

Public transport is easy
I recommend installing the BVG App for finding the best public transport connections in Berlin.
You can get day-passes from 1 – 6 days. Check out the site visitberlin.
Sparnaðarleiðir
Use Bus 100 instead of a hop-on-and-of- bus
If you want to see the main sights in Berlin, you do not need to get a ticket for a shightseeing bus. The public transport bus 100 starts at Berlin Zoologischer Garten and takes you through the city, from West to east up till Alexanderplatz
