it's artsy it's funky it's gritty and yet it  manages to have something for every traveler  

in this video we'll be taking you on a biking  tour across the city where we'll cover a mix  

of attractions i think it's going to be a great  way to see the city we'll do a beer tasting in  

the neighborhood of kreuzberg sampling everything  from visa to porter this is my favorite one so far  

oh yeah the german ipa wow plus we'll take you  on an evening Berlin food tour where we'll try  

all sorts of classic german dishes with a few  surprises in between a classic berlin dish but  

reinterpreted so whether it's your first time  visiting berlin or you're coming back for more  

we hope this video will give you a few ideas  of some fun things to do in berlin germany  

the following is our berlin  travel guide so let's dive in  

all right guys hello hello and greetings from  berlin germany we are back we're back in berlin  

our last visit was many years ago so it's nice  to be back in the city seeing it with fresh eyes  

so we thought we would come down to  berlin cathedral which you've got  

right behind us check out that beauty and also  just take a stroll along museum island and you  

know we're gonna keep going with the theme of  seeing doing and eating as much as we possibly can  

absolutely we're bringing you that  video we're gonna bring you that one  

if you're visiting berlin germany for the first  time museum island is a good place to start  

this museum complex sits on the spray island in  berlin's historic center you have multiple museums  

to choose from including the old museum the new  museum the old national gallery the boda museum  

the pergamon museum and most recently the humboldt  forum which we'll show you later in this video  

aside from that museum island is also home to the  magnificent berlin cathedral if you're feeling up  

to it you can climb the 270 steps to the dome's  outer walkway for panoramic views of the city

it's also worth mentioning that museum  island has pickup points for certain  

river cruises down the spray so  it's quite a central attraction  

and you're likely to end up here  at some point during your visit  

that evening we had dinner at a restaurant  right around the corner from our hotel  

freya is the first plant-based zero waste  restaurant in berlin germany and it has been  

generating a lot of buzz since first opening so  we decided to try something new over the course  

of dinner we tried braised and poached pear and  beetroot coffee adobo marinated carrot polenta  

with mushroom and kale ragu and a hazelnut almond  ice cream sandwich for dessert we may not be vegan  

but we can't appreciate the concept behind this  restaurant plus the food was simply exquisite and  

at the end of the day that speaks for itself an  army of one surrounded by bicycles bicycles that's  

what we are doing this morning ah not a clue voila  so we are here at berlin on bike and we are going  

to be joining a bike tour around berlin germany  seeing loads of highlights i believe we're doing  

a four hour tour so i think we're going to be  covering a lot of the city and i haven't been  

biking in a while so this should be an adventure  biking in a city i'll tell you what any excuse  

i have to be burning off some of the excess  calories we've been consuming in the last 10 days  

is much needed all the schnitzel oh my goodness  i'm getting a schnitzel belly so yeah we're gonna  

enjoy going for four hours on the bike and um yeah  i think it's gonna be a great way to see the city  

yeah we've never explored berlin on bike before  it's always been on foot we're taking the esbonda  

yuban so this will be the first time to  see it by bicycle we're really excited

okay so next stop on our biking tour across berlin  germany is a very familiar spot for us this is  

mauerpark and when sam and i lived in berlin  very briefly our apartment was right around the  

corner from here so it's kind of nice to be back  this is a super cool spot if you can visit on a  

sunday because there's a huge flea market there's  also live music there's live karaoke where people  

just you know get down in the amphitheater and  just sing to their hearts content so it's a very  

lively spot um we're not here on a sunday right  now so we're just enjoying a bit of a quieter  

ride a quieter day and yeah just checking out the  street art which as you can see is ever evolving  

this is basically a free-for-all  it's a canvas that everyone can use  

and yeah it's been a super cool ride  so far and we're gonna keep going

In terms of things to do in berlin germany  

the cool thing about doing a private bike tour is  that our guide oleg was really able to customize  

the route based on our interests and include a lot  of neighborhoods and lesser-known attractions that  

we hadn't visited before we also got to visit  one of berlin's newest attractions humboldt  

forum this has been under construction ever  since our very first trip to berlin many years  

ago so it was cool to finally see it completed the  building combines three rebuilt baroque facades of  

berlin's former royal palace and one modern one it  houses various museums restaurants and a theater  

we didn't have enough time to go in during the  bike tour but it was still nice to see in passing

well we dropped off her bike yeah i can't  believe how much we were able to see in four  

hours with oleg what a fantastic guide he sure  made things fun we we visited parts of berlin  

neighborhoods um not just the main attractions  but like distinct places and neighborhoods where  

things took place in history that we would  never have found look we've got the train um  

don't mind the noise it's almost gone there  we go so yeah it was just a fantastic tour  

and the other thing that really surprised me was  just how much you could see within four hours  

i mean we were taking more photos and videos than  a typical tourist would so i mean we could have  

got all the way to templehof potentially  in four hours so you can really see a lot  

of the city on bike so thank you oleg thanks  oleg super enjoyed that that was so much fun  

lunch time boy did we work up an appetite during  the four hours of biking so much fun but we are  

hungry and so we placed an order we're gonna go  with some curries you're getting the palak paneer  

yes i am getting the paneer butter masala so we  got some naan coming we've got our apple chole  

we're all set can't wait to eat well here we have  it the palak paneer haven't had this in such a  

long time so i'm pretty excited for this with  paneer cheese it's kind of like a cottage cheese

spinach cottage delight so spinach  this is one of my favorites  

i usually order this or the butter chicken we're  in good shape for this one we're in good shape  

for sure we got some naan coming soon too  we do we got them butter garlic yeah and  

the spinach is so creamy looks fantastic yum yum  wow the naan has arrived i cannot wait to try my  

pitier butter masala and guys berlin is a  fantastic foodie city we've got everything  

any kind of international cuisine you could  think of you have we were actually looking for  

an indonesian restaurant we were wandering around  like oh we'd have to walk another block let's see  

if it's down this block that's how we found this  place okay guys so we finished biking we had a  

delicious lunch and now the adventure continues  we are going to be having some beer so we have  

come to the berlo brew house here in kreutzberg  and we are going to be doing a little guided tour  

learning about the brewing process and we're  also going to be sampling some beers because  

that is what you do when you come to a brewery  so we're going to show you that coming up next

the name bello is an interesting story which is  connected with the history of berlin first people  

who actually settled down in this region  uh were slavic people and berlin is a swamp  

it's a very the ground is very muddy and  this weird name means something like swamp  

and the sufix ina means above and they call this  area berlina to say the city above the swamp  

so to give you a little recap we did the burlo  tasting board with food pairings the first beer we  

tried was the berlina visa which was paired with  green apples beer number one number one berglina  

yes let's see i love the color i have to say it  looks like honey almost you're right it does have  

a very nice summery taste nice and light it's  refreshing it's a little bit fruity the pairing  

that goes with that are the apples it's a fresh  apple and a dried apple chip and some apple cream  

next came the helles which is the brewery's  most popular beer this one was paired with  

toasted bread and mushrooms so so far my favorite  has been the berlina vice which honestly reminds  

me a little bit of the apfel chocolate we've  been drinking which is like that apple juice  

with uh sparkling water it's kind of like if  that meant beer i liked it a lot basically  

when it comes to beer you like beers that taste  i like little like beers fruity yeah and then the  

second one we've just tried is the helles yeah  which is their original this is their versatile  

all-arounder yeah such a nice smooth beer and  apparently this is the one that uh flows like  

water out of the tap when they're having uh  events here and when it's packed so uh yeah  

let me try this one it's a good one it's a very  smooth one yeah and more to come that was followed  

by a pale ale paired with chicory and then came  the german ipa which was a bit of a stronger beer  

it showcased the german hops and it was less  fruity than the american ipa this beer was paired  

with kimchi and caraway seeds and you already know  how much we love kimchi when you see an orangey  

color you know there's caramels in there this is  my favorite one so far oh yeah the german ipa wow  

sweet but also the the hop aromas are very unusual  and the pairing personally is maybe my favorite um  

we call it german kimchi get rid of that and last  but not least we tried a baltic porter which was  

smoky yet light this one was paired with fermented  black garlic i know these pairings may sound a  

bit unusual but they really helped bring out the  flavors in the beer so it was a fun taste test for  

our palettes also there were loads of other beers  to try some with really fun names like goosebumps  

unicorn blood and blurry vision and if we hadn't  had another activity booked for later that evening  

we certainly would have spent a few hours drinking  our way through the rest of their menu but we had  

a food tour calling our name okay guys so the  adventure across berlin continues and now we  

are moving on to food street food we have joined  an evening food tour here in kreutzberg show the  

bag this company fork and walk so we are going to  spend the next three hours eating our way around  

this part of the city i'm super excited our first  stop today is actually currywurst but vegan with a  

twist yeah twist and with spice and we are trying  something very new to us a classic berlin dish  

but reinterpreted so we'll see what that's like  okay so first dish is here the vegan curry first  

so here we go we got it spicy you can see the the  powder the seasoning on there so let's go for it  

and tastes like sausage wow it tastes like a hot  though wow it is very very sticky ticklish in them  

but nice you can't you can't start a food  tour in berlin without this this is a staple

okay our next stop of the day food adventure  continues and it is amazing we're going to  

be trying some turkish delights here we have  got pide we've got lamb right in front of me  

and then we've also got beef oh my gosh  the smell is just wonderful it's been  

nicely sliced up for us that language is  next level yes so tender nice and juicy  

this is a really really good p-day wow  it's been years since i've had one so  

this is fantastic latest latest german restaurant  but serving food tapas style so we have ordered  

three dishes to kind of sample and share so if  i remember all the names correctly this is the  

leyba keizer which i'm told is neither liver  nor cheese some kind of sausagey meat perhaps  

and then we have the keize spatzler which are  the noodles the handmade noodles from the south  

lots of cheese these look like the crispy onions  on top and then i believe this is the noodle yes

but the vegetarian kind correct yes okay yeah  the creamies the dumplings with the with the  

mushroom and cream sauce let's dig in i'm gonna  try this first i'm very curious about this oh okay  

is it kind of like bready yeah that is bread  there's bread yeah that's red included yes  

how's that nice it's also like every mama in  germany will do exactly this kind of sauce we  

had something like this but it was like a potato  pancake without that sauce and the mushrooms  

oh my god at a bar it was like the portion was  like this it was like the size of a pizza yeah  

it was so good okay isn't that tasty look at  how cheesy that is just strings of cheese okay  

bring on the cheese bring on the  cheese that's one of your favorites wow

so it's southern german yeah  okay it's uh it's one of the  

traditional dishes there so it's like the the  german pasta and last but not least right last  

but not least i'm just gonna take a piece of  oh pick it up and eat it meats if it is meat  

it is it is meat i don't even know what to do  with cheese but it's not liver but it is meat

not nice how they do it with this  

with sandwich with the bun together  you can pick it up and eat it wow

it reminds me a bit of a sausage like a hot  dog or a ham yeah but not it is in the middle  

of a lot of things but it's it's so it's i  never saw this outside of germany yeah it's  

really it's really old traditional german  dish when you go to the supermarket and  

get an imbec there you will get  it there okay no restaurants

well it is time to say goodbye farewell everyone  the berlin trip is coming to an end and the  

germany adventure must continue we wanted to let  you know where we stayed because this hotel is
