In these days of the list concept, we decided to approach Berlin, the city with lots of Turkish visitors, from a different perspective.. We wanted to examine this city, which is famous in a wide range from the Berlin Wall to its nightlife, from street art to museums, through surprising details.. Let’s get started, here are 10 Facts You Didn’t Know About Berlin!
Note: You can check here for Berlin’s maniacal nightlife, here for our sightseeing guide, and here for tips covering details such as accommodation, shopping, eating and drinking.. Come on, you’re good again.
1. There are 175 museums in Berlin.
Aren’t you intimidated? However, there is no wordplay in the title, there are indeed 175 museums in Berlin, and you can be sure that there is something that will interest everyone.. In our opinion, you can throw yourself into the museum island as you go.. For those who are curious, there is a much more detailed article on the subject here.
2. Guess which race is the most populous in the city after the Germans?
Yes, we may have made a mistake in the title, we think everyone is aware of this fact.. We do not think that any of you gave the wrong answer to the above question.. If we flock to Germany a little more, I think we will be able to apply our theories, “Indians are Turks, Finns are actually of Turkish origin, the X race is actually Turkish”.. According to 2009 data, the Turkish population in Berlin is over 170,000, while the Turkish population in Germany has exceeded 2 million.. Now imagine your current state. (Uncle Ali, whom you see in the photo, is a worlds lovable person who lives in Berlin and attracts the attention of a photographer.)
3. There are more doner shops in Berlin than in Istanbul.
Yes, we are very serious. One of the strangest results of the Turkish influx mentioned above is that doner kebab, which is identified with the Turks, has captured Berlin so much.. So much so that, according to the records, the first doner kebab shop opened in the city in 1971 was the beginning of a great frenzy and as of today, there are more doner shops in Berlin than in Istanbul.. And yet, if you happen to be in Berlin, don’t forget to try Mustafa’s Gemüse Kebap, the favorite doner kebab of Berliners.. GOD SAVE THE RETURN.
4. East Side Gallery is one of the largest open-air galleries in the world.
On top of the East Side Gallery, which is also known as the longest surviving remnant of the Berlin wall, 118 artists 101 different works drawn by. Let us add that if you go to Berlin and return without seeing the East Side Gallery, we will condemn you in various ways.. It is truly amazing that such a terrible idea has been turned into such a beautiful “art collection”.
5. One of the most important museums of Berlin, “Museum of Pergamon”. Yes, yes, we know Bergama.
Just because we are eating Berlin’s bread, do not think that they do not eat ours too.. Originally named “Pergamonmuseum”, it is located on the Berlin museum island and was created by collecting important works such as the Altar of Zeus and the Miletus Gate from their real places and combining them here as a result of the excavations started in Turkey in 1910.. Today, it is one of the most visited museums in Berlin.. We don’t know if you consider it as “We can’t take good care of the artifacts” or as “The guys stole our artifacts” but neither changes the fact that the museum is great, that’s for sure.
6. There are hidden clubs and bars in the city, which are not easily discovered by tourists.
. Because if you are a member of a group of friends who love to travel, surely you have a friend who praises Berlin nightlife.. That’s right, Berlin nightlife is as crazy as it sounds. However, if you can discover hidden bars and clubs in unrelated places that will emerge from places you never expected, a completely different world awaits you.. Sometimes unexpected doors can open to unexpected places.. Be careful, time is bad. Kıpsss.
7. There are more bridges in Berlin than Venice.
Berlin is certainly not a city in our minds associated with water, bridges and canals.. At least not on the Venetian level. At this point, we would like to share a fact that will immediately change your perspective: There are 1700 bridges in Berlin, which is more than the number of bridges in Venice.. From now on, we do not say that you should dream of riding a gondola in Venice instead of riding a gondola in Berlin, but we should not underestimate Berlin in this regard.
8. The first traffic lights in Europe were installed in Berlin.
The first traffic light application in Europe was implemented in Berlin in 1924. Moreover, in Potsdamer Platz, which is still one of the busiest districts of Berlin today and which also houses the Sony Center, which is quite a different building.
9. It’s very difficult to come across anything about Hitler in Berlin.
Berlins are rightfully not very fond of bringing up the topic of Hitler, one of the most hated men in the world.. If you happen to be on your way, you will realize that it is not possible to encounter many things that will remind you of Hitler in Berlin; 2nd. Even in museums about WWII. Although it is written in various sources that you can see the bunker in Berlin where Hitler was hiding before he died, there is not much to be seen today.. Information about the maximum point can be obtained.. We can understand that they don’t want to talk about this very much.
10. From the bird’s-eye view of Berlin, you can tell which side is east and which side is west without using your direction information. Because of the city’s bird’s-eye view at night, it’s easy to distinguish between east and west Berlin.. The reason is that while we use the yellow bulbs we know in the east, fluorescent lamps are used in west Berlin.
By the way, let’s not forget that we are talking about Berlin, as we mentioned recently, it is a crazy promotional ticket period in THY. There is a place and you can fly to Berlin at very affordable prices, those who are still unaware should attack. (We love you too) Don’t let those who live close to Sabiha Gökçen Airport feel like stepchildren, there is a flight from there, we just discovered it.. For details, click here. Let’s go again.
