Getting to know Berlin's historic center (Mitte) : wear your walking shoes and eat a good breakfast. Don't assume that the U-Bahn will get you to point A without a surprise 'test' along the way. We set out on Sunday morning thinking that we had plenty of time to find Dirk, our tour leader for the day, but almost missed him because of a surprise required detour. We passed the test and found him ! The wonderful public transport system is huge and complicated and not without its flaws, a challenge for those of us who aren't city dwellers back home. Here we're near Bebelplatz and St. Hedwig's cathedral, in the district called 'die Mitte'.
