Go for a drink at Cafe Moskau and admire the incredible, still-intact socialist interior of the former GDR building. The open-plan steel and glass construction was transformed into a restaurant on the first floor, bar/lounge on the ground floor and club in the basement in the 90s but all the original chrome lights, wood panelling and spacious glass corridors remain.

It's a great club venue - very low-key, relaxed Berlin crowd - and it's not often you get to watch the sunrise in a glass-fronted open-air courtyard, once the meeting point for Soviet generals and the building's 160 employees.

A great site for renting an apartment in Berlin. Reasonably priced, clean and spacious flats in great locations all over the city. I sorted everything out before my trip by email, in English, and paid by credit card when I arrived. A good alternative to staying in a hotel.
