5 days in Berlin / Berlin to Zurich

I have a questions below.


1. I have to leave my husband 5 days during the day time in March. Please advise where he should visit and what he should do.


2. After the business trip, we plan to go to Zurich. Which mode of transportation that we should use?


Thanks a lot.

Don%26#39;t worry there is enough to do and see in Berlin for your husband.



Places to see: Zitadelle Spandau, Schloß Charlottenburg, Ku%26#39;Damm area with Kaiser-Wilhelm-Memorial Church, Potsdamer Platz, Holocaust Memorial, Schloß Bellevue, Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, Unter den Linden with it%26#39;s old building, Berliner Dom, Nikolaivirtel, Alexanderplatz with TV Tower, Rote Rathaus, Hackescher Markt, Friedrichstraße, Gendarmenmarkt, Checkpoint Charlie, Neue Synagoge … just to name some of the well known ones.



If your husband gets bored of sightseeing than there are heaps of muesums he could visit like the Pergamon Museum.


There are quite a few walking tours offered in Berlin. I did the Brewers Tour when I had friends over for a visit and I really liked the tour.



If your husband still has some time left he could do a day trip to Potsdam which is easily reached by public transport.



Air Berlin flies - if I%26#39;m not mistaken - from Berlin to Zurich, you could check their website www.airberlin.com. It%26#39;s definitely the quickest option. Otherwise you could check the train on www.bahn.de. Click on Intern. Guests and you will have everything available in English.

Concerning 1 I am sure there are better Berlin expert on this forum. About 2: there are two reasonable possibilities, flying (Air Berlin is probably the best idea for a one way ticket) or a night train (CityNightLine). The latter has also cheap promotion tickets (SparNight) that you should book in advance, like with an airline.

Swiss and Lufthansa fly the same route for a little more money!
