Found out my work is sending me to #Berlin at least once this year to meet my coworkers. Pretty excited haven't had a chance to #travel out of the country in almost a decade. Planning on racking on some extra days to do some touring.

Anyone have any recommendations for the area? Castles? Can't miss vegan food? Can't miss bars? Distilleries?

@witch_of_winter One thing Berlin isn’t great at is castles, but your other suggestions are covered (many times over).

If you’re into castles and are in Berlin, you may enjoy the tours offered by this non-profit group:

Berliner Unterwelten

Der Berliner Unterwelten e.V. erforscht und dokumentiert seit 1997 unterirdische Bauwerke der Bundeshauptstadt und macht sie, sofern möglich, der Öffentlichkeit im Rahmen von Führungen zugänglich. Im Jahre 2006 wurde der gemeinnützige Verein mit der »Silbernen Halbkugel« für seine Verdienste im Denkmalschutz ausgezeichnet.

@witch_of_winter there's Schloss Charlottenburg, but it's actually a small palace (neat nonetheless!). Schloss Sanssouci in Potsdam, of course, is a nice little day trip just outside Berlin and far more monumental. Another day trip (one I really loved) is Kloster Chorin: Not a castle, but a former abbey. In town, a favorite of mine Is the Kulturbrauerei in Prenzlauerberg: former beer factory turned social space. Check it out for concerts or dancing parties.

@witch_of_winter You might want to have a look at Schloss Charlottenburg.

@witch_of_winter And you might want to go to Potsdam. There’s Sanssouci park with the Sanssouci castle and the New Palace.

@witch_of_winter And there is Cecilienhof Palace where Truman, Churchill and Stalin met after World War 2.

@witch_of_winter HERMAN Belgian beer bar, Schönhauser Allee 173 (U Senefelderplatz)
Lot's of good food not too far from this (U Eberswalder Straße), too, including vegan places.
