Things you shouldn't miss in Berlin

A trip to Berlin is incomplete without a dip in the 25-m swimming floating pool in the Spree-a must visit during the weekends. take a walking tour at the Berlin Underworld Society to see the hundreds of bunkers meant to shelter over 3500 people from nuclear attack. A perplexing jigsaw of tunnels that served many desperate hideouts: people trying to escape Nazi tyranny, those fleeing from East to West in the ‘Wall years’ and even torture chambers, this walk brings alive the fear of the War years. If you’re done sightseeing in Berlin, you could head out to Potsdam or Schwerin. The former served as the summer capital for the kings of Prussia and is today fast emerging as the new district for sprawling villas, baroque palaces and German extravagance. Shwerin, on the other hand, was home to the former dukes of Shwerin and boasts of its own summer palace that could serve as an inspiration to Walt Disney.
