My Packing List for a 10-Day Trip to Germany | Condé Nast Traveler

"The moneyed neighborhood sits on the far West side of the Tiergarten—it’s where Lydia Tár keeps a bolthole for writing, among other things—but Berlin’s pristine public transit makes it easy enough to maneuver into the touristier areas via the U2, S3, S7, or S9. Staying here not only ensured that we walked the Tiergarten each of our three beautiful Berlin days on our way to and from the museums, but also that we saw a more lived-in and peaceful side of the city. The facilities themselves don’t hurt—think modern Art Deco, black and white with pops of red, utter delight."
