# Coordinates: Berlin

September 5, 2018

Described by David Bowie as, “the greatest cultural extravaganza one could imagine,” the German capital is a leading travel destination that serves as a hub for modern arts, music and culture, with numerous historic and contemporary attractions to experience and enjoy. While visiting Berlin to exhibit at the consumer electronics show IFA, the _10,000_ documented a few of our absolute favorite things to do and see, plus a few places to eat and stay.

**Upon Arrival:** Long trips can be draining. Aside from the typical in-flight tips that help fight jet lag, nothing proves more effective and revitalizing than an afternoon spent relaxing. We loved recuperating at **Liquidorm**, a modern spa that features multiple saunas and a saltwater plunge pool. Be sure to listen to music playing from the pools’ underwater speakers.

**Stay:** Berlin offers a wide range of accommodations to suit all kinds of budgets. For something cosy and convenient, choose to stay at **The Gorki**, where classic apartments have been thoughtfully converted into suites (think boutique hotel meets home). For anyone looking to lap in unadulterated luxury, **Hotel Adlon Kempinski** is your best bet. Beautifully situated in the heart of Berlin, Adlon’s age-old history and tradition of impeccable service ensures a seamless stay.

**Explore:** Marked by its incredibly diverse history and geographic location at the nexus of Eastern and Western Europe, Berlin boasts a variety of cultural hotspots and historic sites that should not be missed. Visit the **Reichstag** Building to tour Norman Foster’s innovative glass dome before learning more about Germany’s political past and future. Afterwards, take a stroll on **Unter den Linden** through the **Brandenburg Gate** and up to Museum Island. Here six separate museums offer an array of exhibits and installations ranging from contemporary arts to natural history and classic portraiture. Another must is **The Holocaust Memorial**. Designed by Peter Eisenman and engineered by Buro Happold, the Memorial is a place to reflect and remember, covering a 4.7 acre site marked with 2,711 slabs of concrete to commemorate Jewish Holocaust victims.

A  visit to Berlin would  be incomplete without a tour of the infamous **Berlin Wall** and **Checkpoint Charlie** (52.5074° N, 13.3904° E). Used as a popular crossing point between East and West Berlin during the Cold War, Checkpoint Charlie now serves as a primary Cold War-era attraction, offering tourists a glimpse into what life was like in the German capital during the ‘Deep Freeze.’

**Caffeine Fix:** Berlin’s coffee scene is one for the books. **We love Bonanza**, if only for their speciality roast which is sourced direct from select, sustainable farms (their very-Instagrammable location is an added perk).

**Shop:** Shopping is serious sport in Berlin. For a typical selection of luxury boutiques including German staples like **Hugo Boss** and **Rimowa**, head to **KaDeWe** and stroll along **Kurfurstendamm**. For avid treasure hunters, go to the **Mauerpark Flea Market** where private vendors sell everything from knick knacks and rare vinyls to antique instruments and bicycles.

**Dine**: Berlin’s age-old tradition of gastro culture is a definite highlight when visiting. We especially enjoyed the veal goulash served with homemade Swabian butter noodles at **Lutter & Wegner**, a classic dining choice for those after a typical German experience. For something truly mind-blowing try **Facil**. With two Michelin stars and a particularly well-rounded wine list, Facil’s light and breezy setting delivers on every front, including tone, taste, ambience and exceptional service.
