| Comment | There's lots of really good vietnamese food, would highly recommend at least one or two meals - very cheap too. Frederichshein area is best for wandering and nibbling around bars and cafes.
Would second trying to find a christmas market off the beaten track as you'll get better value for money (bigger mugs) and fewer tourist crowds. There's also little ones that pop up in neighbourhoods for a few days, often with more interesting craft markets rather than the usual crap you can get at St Enoch. I seem to remember there was a dedicated website listing them.
For museums I recommend the Stasi museum as a very well-constructed piece of DDR life (and less kitchy than the actual DDR museum) and the Museum of Technology if you're at all interested in either old computers or planes. If you want to go to the main museums on the island then best to get there early in the day or book cos the queues get mental by lunchtime. |
