ReplyDeleteHi there!
ReplyDeleteJust some additional recommendations for your fantastic list...
Berlin

-> Berliner Unterwelten/ Berlin underground – guided tours through various subterranean complexes
(bombing raids, bunkers,tunnels underneath the Berlin Wall, etc.) (http://berliner-unterwelten.de/home.1.1.html)
-> Computerspielemuseum/video game museum...because it’s awesome!!!
(http://www.computerspielemuseum.de/1210_Home.htm)
Munich
-> Deutsches Museum/German Museum – one of the world’s largest museum of science and technology
(http://www.deutsches-museum.de/index.php?id=1&L=1)
Hamburg
-> after New York and London, the world's third largest musical location such as The Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King and more fancy stuff
-> Reeperbahn – known as the most sinful mile; apart from notorious offerings, it’s the center of the city’s nightlife with many cool bars, night clubs, and restaurants
-> Miniatur Wunderland – the world’s largest model railway museum located within the Speicherstadt
(http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com)
...and also, of course, try some "gutbürgerliche" German cuisine (except maybe for Blutwurst, Sülze, or Flecke/Kutteln...these are generally considered.......disgusting)
