Anyone here know London or Berlin?

[Pat Mustard]

I'm studying abroad in Europe right now, and I have a couple of long weekends coming up, so I booked cheap flights to Berlin and London. Never been to either city before

Has anyone here been to either of these cities and want to share any suggestions of cool places to go or things to see and eat? I have about 5-6 days in each city. I'm going to Berlin because I'm very interested in its history, and London because it's so famous, because I've never been to the UK before, and because my flight was only $50

If you're going to Berlin for a weekend, pick a one where Union Berlin are playing at home (guaranteed packed stadium and plenty of noise. Keep chanting "Eisern Union (pronounced Onyoon) and you'll be sorted). Was there last September and it is a massive experience. The Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp at Oranienburg is a sobering experience, well worth going to. And there are more museums than you could shake a stick at, a day or two at the Museum Isel is an idea.

Anywhere in the city centre is good for meals, I was paying €30-€35 for three course meals and two pints every day, very good food almost universally.

As regards London, like the rest of England it's a shithole, so best of luck there.

PS I'll be in Bristol the least shitholey part of England (mainly because historically it was Wales) for their CAMRA beer festival if anybody is around there the same time.
