Default Berlin many times

Son was there for study abroad in 2018 at Frei Universitaat Berlin and then as an intern at the Embassy in 2019. We loved the visits we made there. The Germans are very open about the cold war years with many awesome museums depicting the times. Great STASSI (E. German Secret Police) museum at their former HQ. Parts of the wall preserved; crosses marking the places where people died trying to cross; tunnel tours. Go back and see it all. Great city and terrific public transportation. Also visit Pottsdam, place of the war treaty meeting and HQ of the Soviet KGB and wonderful city to visit.
