Germanquilter is totally right on all points. We went to the Charlettoburg Castle - they have a walk thru tour where you use headphones and go at your own pace. There is Humboldt University where you can look down a glassed area where the book burning was held. I went to a fabric/quilt shop Frau Tulpe Staffe & Accessories - they had lovely fabric and no trouble speaking English.
We were in Berlin last September and had a great time! Transportation is wonderful, we went to Potsdam to visit friends by train. You can get a day pass that you can use for the busses and trains. I can't remember the name of the place where the Wall still stands and No Man's Land so you can see what they had to deal with. There is a church that was bombed during the war which is still standing as a reminder of what happened.
Take your best walking shoes, there is so much to see. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. My husband had been there before so knew all the places he wanted to show me. Almost every restaurant we went to had menus in English, all you have to do is ask. Know that some places do not accept credit cards.
