See Knut the polar bear ( was big in news a few years ago). From the train station next to zoo, take bus 200 (and 201) for a cheap tour of the city. ( West - East Berlin, then back). For trivia's sake ( requiring no time), note the "little men" on the traffic lights/ pedestrian "Ok to walk" signs. After the fall they were GOING to be removed and public uproar cancelled that action. Watch 'The Bourne Supremacy' and check city/movie locations at <a href="http://german.about.com/library/blbourn_scene.htm" rel="nofollow">http://german.about.com/library/blbourn_scene.htm</a> . At East Berlin Opera house, have coffee/snack at the Operncafe - Bebelplatz entrance. If nice weather, enjoy your treat outside tables. Doesn't one of the pictures on the wall in the front (of the entrance area) look like John Belushi ? In that plaza, you'll see glass area underground - where Hilter burned the books when he took over. In West Berlin you missed the Europa Center area, the Zoo – especially if kids in tow.
