Just booked a few days in Berlin to see in the new year with my fiancee. Im going to have a bit of camera time of course...any must see locations?

Don't worry it looks very photographable to me all over the shop

Woooahh!!! Very nice, Im not far from the Brandenburg gate so that was definitely on my list. What are the other images here? I really like that bridge!

Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag (next to BG), Jewish Memorial, Alexanderplatz, a walk along Unter Den Linden to Museum Island, Dom, Kaiser Wilhelm, Panoramapunkt in Potsdamer Platz for a nice view over the city (and cake and coffee.) KaDeWe for shopping.

Grab a day ticket for the fantastic uBahn and just ride around and people watch. Further out of the city is Wannsee and Sachsenhausen memorial.

Berlin’s an amazing place, I’ve been 4 times and still want to go back.

Don’t forget to try a Currywurst!

I can only echo most of these - Sachsenhausen is well worth the (long) journey out, very sobering place indeed. The Dom is great, book in advance (and at sunset, if you can).

If you're a bit of a history geek a tour of Tempelhof Airport is fantastic.

You’ll see a lot in four days. Things like the BG, Reichstag, Jewish Memorial, Topographie Of Terrors, remains of part of Wall, (these last two are in realspeeds’s last pic above) are all very close together and you could easily see them all in one (long) day. You’ll spend all of ten seconds at Checkpoint Charlie, it’s very uninteresting. I’d really recommend you visit Sachsenhausen. You could do that in half a day if you left early in the morning. It’s the S1/S2 train to Oranienberg, about 45 minutes and then a 10 minute cab ride.

The uBahn is really easy to use and value for money. A day ticket will get you around the city very quickly and cheaply and save you loads of time.
