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.

I called in here to kill some time and thoroughly enjoyed myself. GOOD THINGS Beautiful setting on island next to a moat and the river Lots of wildlife including fish, coots, moorhens, swans herons, ducks. Excellent display of intricate statues Fascinating armoury FANTASTIC bat exhibition where you can creep up in the dark and observe live bats living in an underground dungeon. I just loved to see them so close. ODD My German is not Strong so maybe i missed a do not enter sign but i opened a door from high up on the ramparts and found myself wandering around what appeared to be a primary school full of children having art lessons. I back tracked very quickly as i am sure that the general public are not supposed to be there! BAD I had a guide with map but yet it was still very difficult to find my way around. The signage left a lot to be desired. I would definitely recommend this place for a visit.

In December this old part of Spandau hosts the biggest Christmas market in Berlin. Due to its strategic importance a lot of the old buildings got destroyed during WW2, yet a lot has been done to restore some of the history reaching back to 1232, 12 years before its then rival Berlin was even mentioned. The pedestrian zone is huge and invites guests to explore the shops and restaurants and experience the very unique flair of Spandau. To enjoy it plan for at least half a day.
