of all you must obtain an overview: For example by using the BVG busses
of the "Top-Tour-Berlin". From the open upper deck of the glaring red
bus, one gets a sightseeing pleasure of the special kind.

great Berlin events. You find an extensive event program for each day
in the event magazines “Tip” and “Zitty”, obtainable in every news
paper kiosk.
