Never been before. Going with 2 friends tomorrow for 4 days. We will probably drink a lot and see culture things while hungover.

I like anything really. Communist or not. Keen to see some good art or architecture or fashion or whatever. Plenty of night life too.

I'm arriving way before my friends, so I've got some time to kill by myself after I check my bag in at my accomodation.

The Kulturforum (near Potsdamer Platz) has a large and to my knowledge kinda obscure art museum within it, with paintings from Italian and Dutch renaissance artists.

I went there on my last trip to Berlin on a comrade's recommendation and loved it.

I've been to Berlin like almost 10 times now and have mostly not done any tourist stuff beyond walking around, and it's still one of my favorite cities in the world. I usually go to see live shows of my GenX alt-slop bands when I'm there.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I just went to the Gemaldegalerie inside the Kulturforum. Seems like the best kept secret - it was practically empty and dead and yet it's a fucking huge collection of masters. I couldn't believe it. Rooms of rembrants, some Bosch, Holbein, and on and on and on. You are a legend for this.
