Berlin was my favorite city, Prague was my least favorite. We took trains for all the European travel. It was really a great trip, exhausting (we were only there for 2 weeks), but a great trip.
was it the "united" post 1990 Berlin? because it only became awsome after that. A lot of former GDR citizens simply left their houses and went to the west or to anywere else in the world, these houses were then bought by artists and others wich is why Berlin is currently such a amazing cultural hotspot.
I have been taking interrail trips since I was 17 and in total took 3. I think you probably took the 2 weeks ticket for a certain set of countries.
I remember how I always use to save up my money and then bought the "all of europe" ticket wich lasts a month and costs 400 euros.
You didn`t like Prag? I love Prag. I generaly love eastern europe.
Currently what has happened in Berlin during the past 20 years is happening in Poland and the Tschek Republic, Prag, Brün, Gdanzk, Krakau and Warsau are flurishing and building up a cultural diversity no one would have thought a eastern european country would ever achieve.
