Topographic Survey Specification



Berlin is a city like few others in Europe , very young compared to the rest. was destroyed between 90% and 95% in its entirety in the Second World War. In short, everything you see is architecturally much 60 years of life. Apart from this fact Berlin is one of the most attractive cities in many respects.

When you get is a stark contrast to what was being viewed. All new buildings, houses, museums, parks, etc. But almost without thinking best thing about the German capital is the socio-cultural movement . many very good artists and can be expressed as where they can and all possible ways. One of the places where you can see this clearly is 'Tacheles' which is basically an abandoned building taken over by a group of artists (in the style squat) to develop, exhibit and sell their works. Plastics not only make use of this abandoned building, there are also small theaters, halls for various activities and a bar that solves all costs.

A very interesting phenomenon in a country where economic problems do not exist. Art really impresses as it appears everywhere: paint, plastic, film, photography, all in motion, all revolution, all shouting . The feeling is that they are generations that have nothing to explain about his past but they do have much to say.


-BERLIN- SUMMARY

Places and prices: Berlin Wall (free) Brandenburg Gate (free); Reichstag, or Parliament (free) Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial or easier, memorial church in the center of Berlin (Free), Potsdamer Platz, the modern (malls), Alexanderplatz, the old (free); Tacheles, building taken (free of charge but can make in the bar), walk a lot in the city, has long runs, there is no defined center, it's all very separate. We recommend to visit the Sanssouci Palace, a beautiful park, is just outside Berlin, the ticket is cheap, you can spend a whole day.
Transportation: the subway is one of the most functional but it is too expensive (€ 2.10). For the adventurous ride without paying, there is little control.
Food: is cheap in the supermarket and you can find all kinds of food made.
Bars: find out which houses are taken, plus there are many everywhere where you can taste the German beer.
