The area was previously in East Berlin and boasts some impressively wide avenues, like Stallinallee, which are flanked by the soviet era \u201cworkers\u2019 palaces\u201d. Nowadays, the neighbourhood is populated by trendy clubs, bars and cafes \u2013 not a bad place to be. From this base, we explored the city on bikes which was a pleasure thanks to good cycle lanes, plenty of bike parking and very few hills to ascend.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29040\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29040\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29040\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_1501.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-29040\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peter Eisenman\u2019s Holocaust memorial \u00a9 www.sprig.co.za<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Berlin is full of things to see and during our week\u2019s stay we only scratched the surface. We ambled through Berlin\u2019s Museumsinsel, an ensemble of five museums built on a small island on the Spree River, climbed to the top of the Reichstag, took too many photos of the Fernsehturm, a television transmitter which stands high above the city, followed the Berlin Wall and got lost in Peter Eisenman\u2019s Holocaust memorial\u2026 If you have a chance, it\u2019s worthwhile to spend some time discovering remnants of the past in the city. For example, the lost Spreepark, an abandoned amusement park hidden in the Treptower Park, which borders the Spree River and is great destination for an afternoon beer and \/or nap, or the closed Tempelhoff Airport and its gigantic buildings which now sit empty, as well as the countless monuments and statues that are just round the next alleyway.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29043\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29043\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29043\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_1942.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"570\" height=\"556\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-29043\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fernsehturm by night \u00a9 www.sprig.co.za<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The highlight of the trip was definitely hunting for the perfect currywurst but, caught up\u00a0in the culinary excitement, we completely forgot to take any pictures of any wurst. I had heard of the dish, which is basically sausage (wurst) steamed and then fried, served with tomato sauce and a sprinkling of curry powder. Apparently the secret is in the mix of vinegar and spices in the tomato sauce and not, in fact, the curry powder. Our friends recommended that we head to the traditional Konnopke&#8217;s Imbiss which is a little stand underneath a tube station. We soon discovered that everyone has their favourite and the hunt for the perfect currywurst began. We tried the iconic <a href=\"http:\/\/www.curry36.de\/\" target=\"_blank\">Curry 36<\/a>, the organic Witty\u2019s, the locally sourced Fritz &amp; Co. and a few other less notable offerings. We got to be experts, trying the two variants with &amp; without skin on the sausage (apparently \u201cwith\u201d is more popular in West Berlin and \u201cwithout\u201d in the East) and the &#8220;scharf&#8221; version with extra cayenne pepper. The organic <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wittys-berlin.de\/\" target=\"_blank\">Witty&#8217;s<\/a> near the KDW, \u00a0a popular department store, was my favourite with Curry 36 a close second, at least until our next visit to Berlin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last spring my wife and I travelled to Berlin for a few days.
