My wife and I recently booked flights for a trip to Berlin. We will arrive Thursday, Thanksgiving morning around 9:30am and depart Monday also at 9:30am. Berlin was never really on our list of destinations but we scored round-trip airfare from SFO for $450 so we jumped on it. We are trying to travel more, and are just looking forward to the adventure of seeing a new European city.
We both like to visit the usual history and art museums when we travel, so I'm sure we will add those to the list. But are there any that you would say are can't-miss, or any that were a big let-down that we should avoid?
I'm also interested in renting a car and driving the Autobahn. We have a friend who lives in Hamburg and we are considering making a side-trip up there to visit him. Any thoughts on driving to Dresden or Prague instead of Hamburg? We would probably drive out early Saturday morning, spend the afternoon-evening-night in the new city, and drive back to Berlin for 1 last day in the city on Sunday.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
