Is Berlin a interesting place to visit with two young teenagers?

Are you guys kidding? I can't imagine ever being bored in Berlin!





It does depend what you're into. If you want to see any cultural stuff or museums, you are in good hands. They're just excellent. I suppose the thing about Berlin is that the West half of the city is fairly, well, western, while the East half still has more of the bohemian touch. Ideally, you'll have a native of the city to show you around. The wall is everywhere, okay, history's fine. The Reichstag is there, Brandenburg Gate, etc -- you'll find plenty of that. But what really makes Berlin great is its energy. It's a very creative place, and there are things going on everywhere. There's quite a lot of entertainment in English as well, although I guess you couldn't go wrong with the Blue Man Group (I think they're still playing there).





Take a daytrip to the beach at Wannsee, where there are also the fancy grounds at Potsdamer. There's also a thwack of shopping, sure. Head to the Kreuzberg area and have some great Turkish food for a couple of euros. And then again, there's just the people-watching, which Berlin is basically world-class for. :)Is Berlin a interesting place to visit with two young teenagers?
Berlin is a very busy city and is pretty modern - most of Berlin was distroyed in the war so its all pretty much a up and coming metro. I went there several times in my teens with my parents and although we went to the berlin wall and all it was a bit of a bore at that age. Now I would enjoy it much more, but as a teen I was not that into it. Is Berlin a interesting place to visit with two young teenagers?
Perhaps 20 years ago when the wall was up and you could visit the east side. It was fascinating then.


It still has a lot of charm, but probably not so much for teenagers on holiday. For older kids there's wild nightlife and interesting architecture to see.



no not really i went there. even my parents got bored. the only good thing is the shopping center
