A Berliner Pfannkuchen is a jam-filled doughnut so iconic that a long-running myth says John F. Kennedy accidentally called himself a pastry when he said "Ich bin ein Berliner", though linguists say he meant the city's people.

Apfelstrudel's dough is stretched so thin it can be read through, a technique that gives the pastry its paper-thin layers and a light, flaky texture that contrasts with spiced apple filling.

Stollen started as a humble Lenten bread, but over centuries bakers enriched it with butter, dried fruit, and marzipan to create the festive loaf that became a Christmas staple across Berlin and Germany.

Currywurst was invented in Berlin in 1949 by Herta Heuwer, who mixed ketchup and curry powder supplied by British soldiers, and the snack quickly became the capital's beloved postwar street food.

Wiener Schnitzel must be veal by law in Austria, but in Berlin pork schnitzel rules everyday kitchens, usually breaded, pan-fried until golden and finished with a squeeze of lemon.

Germany boasts over 1,500 regional varieties of bratwurst, and in Berlin you often find thick, coarsely ground sausages grilled until the casing snaps and served with mustard and a crusty roll.

Berlin's own Berliner Weisse is a tart, effervescent wheat beer traditionally served with raspberry or woodruff syrup, which turns the beer pink or green and made it a playful local specialty.

Apfelschorle, a fizzy mix of apple juice and mineral water, is so ubiquitous in Berlin that servers will often assume you mean the sparkling version, it's prized for refreshment and a lighter sweetness.

Glühwein is hot spiced wine sold at Berlin's Christmas markets, traditionally brewed with cinnamon and cloves and served in reusable mugs that doubles as a memento and way to cut down on waste.

Hat mir die kreative Szene und die Clubs gefallen, aber einige Viertel wirkten schäbig und die Touristenmassen an den Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten waren nervig.
Translated from English ·
Seltsame entspannte Stimmung, tolles Streetfood wie Döner an jeder Ecke. Regen hat einen Museumstag verdorben, aber vier Tage waren genau richtig.
Translated from English ·
Drei Tage fühlten sich gehetzt an, die Museumsinsel ist atemberaubend, aber sehr voll, lass Zeit für entspannte Cafés und lange Spaziergänge an den Kanälen.

Meide Restaurants direkt an Sehenswürdigkeiten, geh zwei Blocks weiter für normale Preise. Nimm Bargeld zu den kleinen Currywurst-Ständen mit, viele nehmen keine Karten.
