From Hamburg to Berlin, we travel by train three times. Every time ride ICE, which is a German Intercity-Express (ICE) rail. Take the Intercity-Express (ICE) train, two hours 5 minutes can reach Berlin's most modern train station. But every time we have a different way to travel in City of Berlin, but every visit can bring a different experience for me.

The first time, we are traveling in Berlin, it was in June. Berlin in June, which is the blue sky, green trees beautiful season. Berlin is known as "the forest and lakes" in the world. Nearly a quarter of the city of forests, lakes and green, so that the most suitable for cycling tours.

Tourist city by bike makes you see more views, it is not accessible to the general tourism. Along the former Berlin remains, stop and go all the way, sports + recreation. Under the guidance of a professional guide, Berlin's history and today, with a comprehensive understanding.






We had a pleasant lunch at a beer garden (Biergarten). It is noteworthy that, with the cash, do not expect the credit card can be used in the beer garden (Biergarten).

Cycling tour is very tiring trip. Along the 20 km-long bike trails, take a look around, through the streets, and alleys, visit the depths of history and culture, it is a tourist bus and the bus cannot enter the area. For tourists, understand more of the history, it was very pleasant.

Second time, we are traveling in Berlin, it is the Christmas season. Berlin weather was too bad. Sky constantly falling snowflakes, fall to the ground quickly dissolved. Cement road becomes dirt road, a passing car splashed mud, and pedestrian road is not good to go, very slippery. We do not have the ability to select bike tour, but tour bus is our first choice.

I used the same method, on the Internet to find a tour bus and book it. Coach costs 20 per person, tour bus tickets can be used for two days. At each attraction, coaches have a variety of voice introduction, you can choose from. If your favorite spots, can get off to visit. Tour finished, return to the place you get off, to wait for the same company for coaches, it is your book, and continues to the next spot. Every 30 minutes there is a tourist bus passing through.

Travel by bus tour, it is another kind of travel experience. Whether tourist bus outside window is windy or snowing, you can quietly with headphones, listening to introduce landscape, holding the camera to shoot photos. If you want more pictures of attractions, free get on and get off tour bus.

Take the tour bus top, to watch the distant ancient buildings, shopping crowd in Berlin city center, the streets on both sides of the crowded parking lot. Modern architecture and ancient art, ancient history, the brutal war, sad era of cross dissolve together, which is characteristic of Berlin. Tour bus along routes, we can see the rise of Berlin.

Third time, we are traveling in Berlin. It was a casual travel, naturally there is no plan. It can only be said to be a free trip. But in Berlin train station (Berlin Hauptbahnhof), we find at the Berlin public transport ticketing service (DB Information), buy a day ticket, AB area single-day ticket € 6.9 per person. By Bus Tour Berlin, No. 100 and No. 200 of public bus route, they are the classic tourist route.
