This will be short.

You can't go in the apartment - it's still apartments rented out, but there is a small memorial to David outside including a drawing and plaque where people leave flowers. You also can't just walk into the studio nearby because it's still a working music studio, but a sign in the window says you can pay for a tour through certain companies. They at least have some cool Bowie photos filling the windows. If you love Bowie why wouldn't you go? It is free and you can take a picture and it takes a second.

This is one of those grand European architectural locations. Once you get anywhere near this area,…read morewhat you will find are great cathedrals, beautiful buildings, and a very large square. The center point of this area is the large square. My suggestion is that you go and stand in the center of it, look around, and study its true uniqueness. What you will experience is one of the best places to view the grandeur of historic Berlin. Around this very large square, what you will find, (occasionally), is that they will have marketplaces. These marketplaces are usually seasonally orientated. Meaning, if it's Christmas season, you will find a great selection of Christmas orientated items. The main reason you come here is not so much simply to go shopping or dining, of which there are a lot of places to check out around the surrounding area, but to go inside some of the structures, and truly bask in the architectural glory of the statues, the way the buildings were constructed, and all of that kind of stuff. This isn't really a highly-touristy Berlin location. Which, is a good thing. Meaning, you can come here and really bask in a historic Berlin, which is deeply rooted in history. It will provide you with the true flavor and culture of Berlin. Overall, I would suggest that you do go here. You just need to know what to expect. There's not necessarily a lot to do, unless you truly appreciate the finer elements of architecture. But, it's a great place to visit.

I especially enjoyed looking at the expressions on the faces of the sculptures within the gates of the church. The artist truly captures a feeling.

One of the top cultural/culinary gems of Berlin. This is Thai food as good as it gets on the…read morecontinent. It's a collection of hawker stalls staffed by Thai grannies and their families operating when weather permits on summer weekends. Bring a blanket, friends, family, pets and enjoy a feast on the grass. Since the pandemic the Berliner city fathers have interfered with this simple gem. So far they've only made it worse. They've paired down the number of stalls and added designated entrances and exits. This has caused those inside the hawker area to encounter bottlenecks throughout. Not a wise move in a global pandemic. It used to be open all sides so that one could approach a stall of their choice and easily exit without being in throngs of people. Although Thai Park continues to be as popular as ever, the number of vendors has been almost halved by the Berliner government. This creates more unnecessary chaos. I hope this awesome gem isn't regulated to death.
