Alexanderplatz Is The Place To Stay In Berlin

Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz

Excellent view of the hotel and the TV tower at night with all the glimmering lights

As I got off the bus, which was very convenient as it stopped right in front of my hotel, there was a very tall building that looked like a round world globe with a long antenna sticking out of it. I soon learned that this was the famous "TV Tower", one of Berlin's hottest attractions. I later heard that people spend hours in line to go up to the top to view the city.

As I checked into the hotel, I didn't know what to expect. The Front Desk Attendant informed me that they had reserved a room for me on the top floor of the building. What she failed to mention was how special this room was. In my suspense, I couldn't wait to see the room. As I got off of the elevator and approached my room I opened the door. I couldn't believe my eyes. The room and views were amazing. The TV Tower was right in front of me. This is an attraction that is a must. Get a first class ticket to one of Berlin's hottest attractions and definitely stay at the Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz. Beautiful views in the day and amazing lights at night.

The hotel staff is always available to answer any questions and to make suggestions of how to enjoy their wonderful city. Their goal is to assist in ensuring their guests the best possible experience and they do a great job.

The hotel serves a very nice variety of breakfast favorites such as cold cuts, eggs, bacon, sausage, pastries, etc. It is located on the second floor. There is a small business center that can handle printing and faxing documents There is also a separate Concierge that will guide you anywhere you would like to go.

This hotel room is identical to the room I was lucky enough to stay in. If you look straight out of the window, this is the view you will wake up to in the morning and go to sleep to at night.

Separated Shower and Toilet facilities with cute little glass doors

I would like to mention the unbelievable views from the Panorama Rooftop Terrace.  There is a small charge to access the terrace, but well worth the money.  You won't be sorry.

Again, the Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz is the place to stay if you are looking for something special. Enjoy your stay and the view!!

Eat The World in Berlin

I decided to do something a little different as a tourist in Berlin.  And when I heard about "Eat The World Tours", I thought, it can't get any more different than that!!

I mean think about it.  You get to stroll with an experienced guide telling you all about the area while stopping in little cafe's and tasting a vast array of foods!

Eat The World has several tours to choose from.  I chose the Berlin Neukölln-Tour.  And as you continue reading, you will understand why!

On this particular tour, as we made our way through a cute little area of Berlin, my guide led me to 7 different eateries.  I'm going to share with you a few of those stops.

So come stroll with me through these beautiful streets of Berlin and see what I had to eat!

Café Botanico is situated in a lovely garden setting that we were able to wander through.

I love a good Risotto, so I was happy to discover that I would be tasting a creamy seasonal wild herb/wild vegetable risotto!

Rixbox I think is appropriately named as it looks just like a box sitting out on the square with some outdoor seating.

This is where I tried their smoked pork sandwich with sauerkraut and mustard, served with potato wedges.

Okay, this isn't food, but I just thought this guy was adorable!

This is a Buddy Bear.

 Buddy Bears are a series of painted, life-size fiberglass bear sculptures originally developed in Berlin.  As cheerful ambassadors for Berlin, Buddy Bears have a presence on every continent 

Okay, back to the food!

The O S'kitchen was my absolute favorite stop on this tour!

Here I was served Homemade falafel with Arabic yogurt dip. 

Well as you might guess, I'm STUFFED!!!

But what a great way to see Berlin and try all the different flavors of this city!  So if you find yourself in Berlin and you would like to try something a bit different, Please consider Eat The World, and eat your way through the streets of Berlin!  Oh and tell them "Carla's Got The Travel Bug" sent you!!
