Travel tips
It´s the best way to know Berlin if you come on summer.
You can choose between rent a DB-bike (Deutsche Bahn is the railway in Germany) with the sistem Call-a-bike, it costs 8 cents per minute, a maximum of 15 € for one day or 60€ a week. And also there is lot of shops where you can rent a bike, the cheapest one is Orange Bikes (Kollwitzstrasse 35, Prenzlauerberg) 6 €/day.
But you can also rent a Velotaxi, a high-tech vehicle, always close to the most popular tourist places.
If you are short on time and only have a day in Paris, its easily done on foot. Will take you a good eight hours walking including lunch and (of course) coffee and souvenier stops but you will get to see all the sights of Paris in one day, great if you are on a budget and love to see as much as you can!
