Like the topic title says, I'm going to spend some holydays with some friends of mine in Berlin.
I think I'll be very busy in that days in trying to EVERYTHING in just three days... but if someone of you is there in that days and wanna meet me, well, we could go for a beer in a bar... spending an hour in thinking "what could I say to this stranger?" or bragging about how fast is my ninja-PC...

So, let me know!

Even suggestions about what to visit in Berlin are welcome

But I'll gladly give you some tips. You should definitely visit:
Brandenburger Tor
Siegessäule
Reichstag
Kurfürstendamm
Dussmann, a very large and well-sorted bookstore, also try
Hugendubel, another one with quite a funny name
Potsdamer Platz
Sony Center
the U-Bahn...an experience for those foreign to Berln (I don't know what it is with these people, they all get frightened.....well, I'm used to it)

Well, I'm running out of ideas. Probably everyone you ask will tell you these places among others, but those are the ones you must visit. I can tell you that from experience, I gave maaany sightseeing tours to Berlin...

For your information, the Siegessäule was built for the victories ind the German-Danish War of 1864-1873, and it was inaugurated on the 3rd anniversary of the victory in Sedan. It has nothing to do with the Nazis.
The Reichstag's construction was started in 1884. In that time, nobody had any idea the would be a second world war, not to mention the first one.
Your historical knowledge is shocking, Švejk. I hope that was a joke.

Berlin is beautiful! I loved it when I was there couple of years ago. I'm certainly going back again.

Be sure to visit the Jewish Musesum by Daniël Liebeskind when you're there. It's a very impressive exhibition in a very dramatic building that will make you think!

Right, I forgot that. Verrry impressive. Kind of depressing, though. But it's a place you must visit. also, visit the Alte Nationalgalerie and the Pergamonmuseum. Well, just visit the whole Museumsinsel, people culturally interested will go nuts there!
