Top 7 Events in Berlin, Germany
Berlin is an edgy city, from its fashion to its architecture to its charged political history. The Berlin Wall is a sobering reminder of the hyper-charged postwar atmosphere, and yet the graffiti art that now covers its remnants has become symbolic of social progress. Check out the Weltzeituhr (world time) Clock, topped by a model of the solar system, then turn back time by dining at the historic Zur Letzten Instanz, a 16th century restaurant that was frequented by Napoleon and Beethoven.

1. BMW Berlin Marathon
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 57 reviews
The BMW Berlin Marathon is one of 5 World Marathon Majors. It first started in 1974 and takes place in September, covering 42.2km of the German capital, starting and finishing near the iconic Brandenburg Gate. It is known for being a flat course with mild temperatures and a good supportive crowd, explaining why the most marathon world records have been set there. There are 40,000 registration spots, including wheelchair and hand cyclists, though no seperate power-walker event. The full marathon package costs 98 Euros and it is possible to run the course as a team of up to 3 runners.

This year the weather was pretty good (~15 celsius at the start, rising to ~22 at noon, with very little wind), and consequently there were a lot of spectators, and the atmosphere was superb, as were all the volunteers along the course, the expo, and the start/finish area. The race was very busy, and it could be tricky to overtake people at time, although this has been the case with every race I have participated in so far. The course itself was great - lot's of long straight roads, and pretty flat. I really enjoyed running this marathon, and would do it again! A few things that could be improved: as always, queues for the portaloos were very long in the start area; water along the course was served in plastic cups (they should really go for paper); expo for start number pick up could do with clearer signage; in the finish area there was very limited signage (or if there was I didn't see it), but luckily volunteers were pretty helpful.
