Think romance is dead? You\u2019re probably just suffering from a crisis of imagination. Berlin might not exactly scream amour but, with a little forethought, there\u2019s no reason the two of you can\u2019t make such a culturally attractive city your Paris or Rome. Just do it soon, before it\u2019s inevitably ruined by an uninspired Woody Allen movie.<\/p>\n\"Tiergarten\"\n

Day 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Have breakfast at A.Horn<\/a> in Kreuzberg. Their fresh-roasted muesli will subdue any skepticism you have about ordering cereal in a restaurant. It\u2019s also right across from the Landwehr Canal, where the Berlin kayak tours<\/a> begin. For adventurous couples, there are few better ways of seeing the city than in a two-person boat.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have worked up quite an appetite by the time it\u2019s over. Follow the northern border of the park until you reach the Teehaus<\/a> at the English Garden for food and refreshments in one of Berlin\u2019s quainter locations. While you\u2019re in the area, check out Bellevue Palace and the Bismarck Memorial, then climb the Sieges\u04d3ule<\/a> (Victory Column) for spectacular views over the park and beyond. Go for a stroll around the Rose Garden before heading to Caf\u00e9 am Neuen See<\/a> for yet another scenic beverage, this time by Tiergarten\u2019s largest lake.<\/p>\n

The Caf\u00e9 serves great food, but if you\u2019re not hungry yet, head back to the station via the free Open Air Gaslamp Museum<\/a> (better if the sun\u2019s already set!) and soak up the ambience at Tiergartenquelle<\/a>. You\u2019ll probably want to stay for a few drinks longer than planned.<\/p>\n\"ViktoriaPark\"\n

Day 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Return to Kreuzberg for a spot of shopping around Oranienstrasse and grab a light lunch at healthy eating deli Anaveda<\/a> or Com A<\/a>, arguably Berlin\u2019s best sushi place. Then check out the Museum of Things \u2013 a peculiarly curated exhibition of \u2026 well \u2026 junk, but also a look at the history of everyday design.<\/p>\n

Head to Viktoriapark and admire the view from the banks of its man-made waterfall. Have dinner and drinks in the beer garden at Yorckschl\u04e7sschen<\/a> nearby. If you don\u2019t fancy staying for the live jazz (Wednesdays and weekends from Friday to Sunday), go watch a film at Kreuzberg\u2019s Open Air Cinema<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n\"BerlinNightlife\"\n

Day 3<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hungover? Book a spa day at Vabali<\/a> or Liquidrom<\/a>. If you\u2019re planning to sweat out the booze, however, just remember that this is Germany, so don\u2019t expect to get away with wearing a bathing suit in the sauna! Alternatively, save a few quid by heading to Badeschiff<\/a> \u2013 a floating swimming pool in the River Spree.<\/p>\n

As with many cities, Berlin\u2019s food scene is slowly succumbing to the Koreans! Among the restaurants to have emerged in recent years, Kimchi Princess<\/a> is ostentatiously the \u2018coolest\u2019. But on the other side of the Oberbaum Bridge, the smaller, though no less excellent Seoulkitchen<\/a> offers several creative interpretations (try the ramen burger!) alongside the more traditional bibimbaps and table-top BBQs. Otherwise, venture deeper into Friedrichshain for Maru<\/a>, where you\u2019ll find a refreshingly nonsense-free menu, although you might struggle without some basic German.<\/p>\n\"Potsdam\"\n

Day 4<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Head southwest to Potsdam for a meander around the picturesque Prussian city on Berlin\u2019s outskirts. You could just stroll hand-in-hand around its scenic parks, waterways, and palaces, but if you really want to see the sights \u2013 and better yourselves with a bit of a history lesson \u2013 book a tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Seek out Waikiki Burger<\/a> for a quick lunch, saving your euros for a blind dinner once you\u2019re back in the capital. Mitte-based Unsicht-Bar<\/a> is a dark restaurant where, unable to see your food, taste and scent take center stage.<\/p>\n\"BerlinSkyline\"\n

Day 5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Grab breakfast at Friedrichshain\u2019s Louise Ch\u00e9rie Caf\u00e9<\/a>, and, if it\u2019s a weekend, check out the market at Boxhagener Platz. Then head to Gardens of the World<\/a> to savor the rest of the sunshine. This collection of gorgeous themed gardens was created by the East German government so that their travel-restricted citizens could still enjoy a glimpse into other cultures.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, take a train across town towards Spichernstrasse station to catch a dinner and cabaret show at Bar jeder Vernunft<\/a>. Don\u2019t worry if your visit doesn\u2019t coincide with an English performance as there\u2019ll be plenty of showboating slapstick and song to complement the German banter.<\/p>\n

Once that\u2019s over, go for cocktails at Rum Trader<\/a> nearby. Just don\u2019t take offense at the owner\u2019s old-school Berlin arrogance, especially if you dare order a caipirinha! Snobby? Certainly, but you can afford to be when you\u2019re running one of the gems of the city\u2019s celebrated bar scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
