2008.02.16 Berlin - Velodrom (Germany)

[Druide]

Do you think language could be a problem? I only speak English and Spanish .

nothing to worry there, i think. according to my experiences, every large german city (like berlin) is very used to tourists/travellers and so you will always manage there with english somehow.

i think it's much easier to manage with english in germany than in france. actually paris is the only large northern/central european city where i have experienced language problems, as some people didn't speak any english at all and as i didn't speak any french.

I agree with you....it's true !!!

I don't like the french...

You should try learning some French, Marika.  What would that make it, six languages you'd know?    I've recently purchased this book and find it quite easy to work with.

a very good thing about berlin is that tegel airport is well within the city limits - so when arriving in berlin, you don't get stranded somewhere out in the boonies and then get totally ripped off by having to resort to some overpriced bus/train combination, in order to get to the city. this is what mostly happens, in most other cities. but in berlin, you can just take an ordinary bus ride to the city and be there nicely in about 15-20 minutes.
there are several bus lines, some going to zoo station, some to alexanderplatz. it's easy to find further transport connections anywhere you want from both places. in your case i suppose you should better go to alex.
so, depending on how long you will stay in berlin, just buy a ticket for BVG (city transport services = busses, subway etc.) that is valid for the time you intent to stay and there you go!

(i think schlesisches strasse is actually very near/next to the treptow arena. so i think your hotel location is very ideal.)

Think so?
Thank you very much & everyone else for helping me with all of those things.
Sometimes i'm stupid & can't do simple (for other people) things...
:roll:

I'll be in Berlin at 15th February,so anyone who might want a drink before the show or even after at the party i'm more than open.

YAY FOR LAST MINUTE PLANNING!
