OMG, I missed this for a bit.
Why haven't any Germans replied to this btw? lol
I've been to Berlin, so I second Jasons suggestion, don't miss kadawe, it is phenomenal. Only, make sure you don't fondle any of their dresses, you will get a german lady speaking at you for an entire minute words you don't understand until "zwei tousand drei hundert funfzig mark (now euro)" and then you go "ooooh, das ist teuer!" (that's expensive)
The top floor (food floor suhhhhhhhhhhhweeet) is unreal. Cheeses, meats, pastries, wines, liquors, restaurants, fantastic in every way.
Don't miss seeing the Reichstag! Brandenberg Gate, the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche (located Breitscheidplatz near the ku'damm shopping street), Potsdamer Platz!!! (some of the best food I've had, I forget the restaurant name, across from the Sony store there anyways), Fernsehturm (the big discoball looking rotating T.V. tower)
And for the best views in my opinion, climb the narrow staircase of the Siegessäule in the center of the Tiergarten.
If at all possible, you must not miss taking the S-bahn to Potsdam!! Visit Prince Freidrichs palaces, the schloss Charlottenberg (which unfortunately was I was not able to) and Sanssouci (meaning "without a care" which I was able to see! Tour the grounds around that estate, there are little golden buildings that are very fairytale like)
hope you have a great trip. Would you mind sharing some photos once you get back??
