Trip to Berlin

Planning a trip to visit Son in Berlin. Probably going via Harwich - Hook of Holland next Friday.

Anyone done this trip recently have anything that we should especially look out for.

Thanks

Try and book a visit to the Norman Foster designed dome on the Reichstag. Free but you have to book. Amazing viewpoint over the Tiergarten and Brandenburg Gate. https://www.bundestag.de/en/visittheBundestag/dome/registration-245686
The museums on the Museum Island are all worth visiting.
The Olympic Stadium is a heck of a sight. I lived there in the ‘70s. A fantastic example of fascist, brutalist architecture.
Very little left of the wall. Checkpoint Charlie Museum of the Wall gives an impression of how things were. Unfortunately actors dressed as MPs, sitting in a garden shed does not quite convey the atmosphere of how it was.
Berlin is an amazing city. One of the finest. The building since reunification is breathtaking. It has a nice, relaxed liberal vibe. In the summer just find a beer garden and relax. And sample a currywurst.

Have you read the new German CV-19 testing rules?

It is not clear how it applies to land travel via Netherlands.

Check.
