Content of this guide Basics and conference Getting around Shopping, tipping, speaking Opening ceremony Conference dinner
All public transport in Berlin—S-Bahn, U-Bahn, trams, buses, and also some ferries—is run by the company BVG. When using buses you are kindly asked to get into the vehicle at the front door and to show the driver your ticket. Connections can be easily checked at http://bit.ly/18ez1k or by using the convenient smart phone apps available for Android or iPhone.

This is an interactive guide. Several restaurant and museum names are links to the respective websites. A supplemented Google Map is provided at http://goo.gl/maps/cuZRD
Conference ticket The conference badge allows you to use all public transport in and around Berlin (zone Berlin ABC) in the six days from 19th of August until 24th of August, if you bring your passport or national ID card. Unfortunately, driver licenses are not accepted as ID in Germany. The conference ticket need not be validated.
Welcome to Berlin and to ISMP 2012! While you are here for ISMP 2012 we would like to assist you ´ in experiencing Berlin as Berliners do. The restaurants, cafes, bars, etc. recommended in this guide are a collection of the favorite places of our colleagues in the group of combinatorial optimization and graph algorithms at TU Berlin and at the Zuse Institute. Although our guide is far from being complete and the different neighborhoods are not represented to the same extent, we are confident that this small leaflet gives you the opportunity to visit great places in Berlin that most tourists would usually miss. Though we do not want to replace a proper guide book we also provide you with some basic information about practical issues as well as an (incomplete) list of the main sights of Berlin. We wish you a pleasant stay in Berlin!
These two bus lines are especially made for tourists. They pass several sights on their way, and if you are lucky, the bus driver will be an occasional guide. For boarding you only need a normal BVG ticket. Both lines run between Zoologischer Garten (close to the conference site) and Alexanderplatz, using different routes. Bus 100 passes the government district and Brandenburg Gate while Bus 200 visits Potsdamer Platz instead. The lines meet again at the boulevard Unter den Linden. The detailed routes are covered in our interactive map.
Wiebke and Max
In general, tickets need to be bought and validated before boarding (bus and tram sell tickets on board). This holds also for day tickets and other long term tickets. There is a reduced fair for children aged 6 – 14. Children under 6 travel for free. We have specified only the most commonly purchased tickets. For a complete list of tickets and conditions see http://bit.ly/ cQnPvf. Einzelfahrschein Berlin AB 2.40 e Valid for 2h within the city limits. It allows you to travel in one direction only, but it includes transport changes. If you do both ways within 2h you still need two tickets. Buying four tickets at once lowers the price to 2.10 e/ticket. If you want to go to a place ¨ outside Berlin (e.g., Schonefeld Airport SXF or Potsdam), you need zone ABC or an additional Anschlussfahrschein.
Anschlussfahrschein Berlin A/C 1.60 e Extends your valid zone AB ticket to ABC, i.e., to the area around Berlin. It is analogous to the Einzefahrschein, it is valid for 2h.
Getting around by taxi is rather expensive and you might want to consider using public transport instead. The taxi fares start from 3.20 e with an additional 1.65 e/kilometer. A short ride ≤ 2 km (Kurzstrecke in German) at a flat rate of 4 e is possible if telling the driver in advance.
Tageskarte Berlin AB 6.50 e Allows you to use all public transport within the city limits on the day you validated the ticket, and until 3am the day after.
Getting around by bike Many places in Berlin rent bikes for 10–15 e per day. You can also use the red “Call A Bike” bikes. These can be picked up and dropped off at any of the bike stations, which are located in Mitte district, around the Tiergarten and on TU Campus (e.g., opposite of Main Building). There are (almost) no stations west of TU, see the map http://bit.ly/Mkj1pi. The bikes cost only 8 cents per minute, with a maximum 15 e for the day. You can register for the service online or at any of the stations using your credit card or EC card. There are great iPhone and Android Apps for the system.
CityTourCard / WelcomeCard For both tickets there are three different durations, allowing you to travel for 48 h, 72 h or 5 days. The 48 h and 72 h tickets are valid from the time you validate them to the respective number of hours later. The 5 day ticket is valid for five consecutive days starting from the day of validation, always ending at midnight. Besides public transport, the tickets offer discount for different tourist attractions. For details, see the the link above. 7-Tage-Karte Berlin AB 28.00 e Once validated, the ticket can be used for 7 days until midnight of the last day. Monday to Friday from 8pm and during the whole weekend, it also allows you to take one adult and up to three children aged 6–14 with you for free (age 0–5 for free at any time).
Shopping, tipping, speaking 2 Opening hours & shopping Most of the shops are open Monday to Saturday from 10am–8pm. For smaller shops, the opening hours can vary. Supermarkets usually open at 7 or 8am and there are many that are open as late as 10pm or midnight. On Sundays only a very limited number of (touristic) shops are open. The supermarkets located at the stations in Friedrichstraße, Hauptbahnhof, Ostbahnhof and Zoologischer Garten are open on Sundays. It is impossible to make an exhaustive list of the shopping areas in Berlin. So we only give a very limited overview. Close to ¨ TU there is Tauentzienstraße and Kurfurstendamm. Starting at Wittenbergbergplatz (U2) with the famous department store KaDeWe, it continues westwards with the usual chains of shops ¨ until Joachimstaler Straße (U1 Kurfurstendamm). Further westwards, the shops become more and more exclusive, peaking at Olivaer Platz. If you are rather looking for small boutiques, you can walk through the small streets around Savignyplatz (a slightly upscale area close to TU), north of S Hackescher Markt (a trendy and often also steep area in Mitte), or in Oranienstraße (a more alterna¨ tive style area around U1 Gorlitzer Bahnhof). From Hackescher Markt you can stroll northwards until Kollwitz Platz or Helmholtzplatz hopping from one shop to the other. Roughly speaking, the norther you go, the less trendier and expensive it gets.
How to tip ´ it is common to give a tip of 5–10 %, deIn restaurants and cafes, pending on the quality of service offered. In self-service locations, it is usually not necessary to tip. For taxis, it is the same as for restaurants.

Konzerthaus Berlin Gendarmenmarkt, 10117 Berlin Sunday, August 19, 2012, 6pm
The Concert Hall & Gendarmenmarkt Built around 1820, the Konzerthaus (Concert Hall) is one of the neoclassical master pieces of the Prussian star architect and city planner Schinkel. The building was destroyed during World War II, and it stayed in ruins until its restoration in early 1980th. Originally serving as a theater, it reopened as a concert hall. Surrounded by the German Cathedral in the south and the French Cathedral in the north, the Concert Hall is located on historic Gendarmenmarkt which is considered as one of the most beautiful squares in Europe.
Musical accompaniment Berliner Sibelius Orchester, conducted by Vinzenz Weissenburger
Prizes Dantzig Prize for original research which by its originality, breadth and depth, is having a major impact on the field of mathematical optimization Lagrange Prize for outstanding works in the area of continuous optimization Fulkerson Prize for outstanding papers in the area of discrete mathematics Beale-Orchard-Hayes Prize for excellence in computational mathematical programming Tseng Lectureship for outstanding contributions in the area of continuous optimization, consisting of original theoretical results, innovative applications, or successful software development
Getting there There are different ways to get to Gendarmenmarkt by public transport. If you have some spare time before the opening ceremony, it is also very nice to walk there along (parts of) the walking tour that is described on page 5. Subway U2 & U6: Get off at stop Stadtmitte and follow the signs to Gendarmenmarkt. If you arrive at the U6 platform, this will lead you through a tunnel and the U2 platform before finally reaching your destination. From Zoologischer Garten, U2 takes 13 min. Due to construction work, there are currently no U6 trains running be¨ tween Friedrichstraße and Franzosische Straße (only 500 m). Bus 100 & 200: These two bus lines are the touristic lines of Berlin. They pass several sights on their way; see page 1 for further details. Get off at stop Unter den Linden / Friedrichstraße or at Staatsoper. From Zoologischer Garten, both buses take about 20 min.
Tucker Prize for an outstanding doctoral thesis
Reception The opening session is followed by a reception with a magnificent view on Gendarmenmarkt.
S-Bahn: Get off at stop Friedrichstraße and follow the signs to Friedrichstraße. From Zoologischer Garten, the S-Bahn takes 8 min, but you should add another 10 min for walking from the station to Gendarmenmarkt.

Sights on the way Depending on your route to get there, you will pass different sights on the way. They are described in the sightseeing section in more detail. In the pdf version, simply click on the numbers to get there. 1
Schloß Bellevue (Bellevue Palace)
¨ Siegessaule (Victory Column)
¨ Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedachtniskirche (K. W. Memorial Church)
Holocaust-Mahnmal (Holocaust Memorial)
The Congress Hall The Congress Hall was built as the US American contribution to the International Building Exhibition INTERBAU 1957. It is known for its special architecture, hosting several cultural activities, and the infamous event of its roof’s collapse in 1980. Fortunately, the building was extensively reconstructed, so that we can enjoy the dinner there. Since 1989, the Congress Hall hosts the cultural organization Haus der Kulturen der Welt (House of World Cultures).
Getting there We propose different options for getting to the conference dinner. The specified travel times give an approximate estimate of the total time you will need to get there from the conference site. S-Bahn (35 min): Walk to S Tiergarten and take any east bound S-Bahn to Hauptbahnhof. From there follow the route in the map. Bus 100 (30 min): Catch the bus at Zoologischer Garten and get off at Haus der Kulturen der Welt right in front of the dinner place. There are, however, road works scheduled for John-Foster-DullesAllee which might change the route of the bus on short notice. Bus 200 (50 min): This is a nice option if you want to visit Potsdamer Platz and Brandenburg Gate on your way. Catch the bus at Zoologischer Garten and get off at Potsdamer Platz. From there follow the route that is indicated in the map. Subway U2 (45 min): This is almost the same as the Bus 200 option, except for replacing the bus by subway. Catch U2 at ErnstReuter-Platz (Pankow bound) and get off at Potsdamer Platz. Walking through Tiergarten (35 min): Except for the first 100 or 200 meters, this route allows you to approach the dinner place without ever leaving Tiergarten, one of Berlin’s nicest parks. Walking along river Spree (50 min): This a tranquil path along the river which is perfect for enjoying the evening sun and for escaping the crowds.

The Holocaust Memorial (16) lies a block south of Brandenburg Gate (4). To get to Potsdamer Platz (5) follow Ebertstraße. Formerly, the Berlin Wall was running along this street and the entire area to your left used to be the no-man’s-land between east and west. The main attraction at Potsdamer Platz is the Sony Center. Turn right at the big crossing to get there. Leave Sony Center from
Potsdamer Platz to Gendarmenmarkt Start: U2, Bus 200 Potsdamer Platz End: U2 Stadtmitte

Cross the museums island as indicated in the map, and walk to Hackescher Markt. At the north end of the square in front of the S-Bahn station you can already see Hack¨ (11). Walking through the courtyards brings you to esche Hofe Sophienstraße. Turn right twice to get back to Hackescher Markt.
Sightseeing 6 Sights Central Station. Europaplatz, 10557 Bln. (map 5), S+U Hauptbahnhof. The new central station opened in 2006 and is today one of the most frequented stations of Germany. From outside, you will notice that one side of the roof is much shorter than the other. This is not on purpose. It is a quintessential character of Berlin to run out of money and time. The architect Meinhard von Gerkan was not in the least a bit amused by it, sparking a legal battle. 1
Bundeskanzleramt. Willy-Brandt-Str. 1, 10557 Bln. (map 5), S+U Hauptbahnhof, U Bundestag, Bus 100. Newly built when the German government moved from Bonn to Berlin in 1999, this is the official home of Angela Merkel.
¨ Hackesche Hofe. Rosenthalerstr. 40/41 and Sophienstr. 6, 10178 Bln. (map 5), S Hackescher Markt. Four-storied, 1900ish Altbauten (old buildings) characterize the cityscape of many parts of Berlin. They used to have several backyards, combing small shops, workshops, and community housing. As the backyards were very dark, often parts of the buildings have been removed. One of the nicest survivors of this kind is the Hack¨ (backyards). esche Hofe 11
Schloß Bellevue. Spreeweg 1, 10557 Bln. (map 4), Bus 100. The 18th century palace is one of the official residences of the President of Germany since 1994. Not open for visitors. 12
Reichstag. Platz der Republik, 10557 Bln., +49 30 22732152 (map 5), U5 Bundestag, Bus 100, 8am–11pm, free. Home of the parliament. After being destroyed in World War II, the dome was reconstructed and is now open for visitors. To enjoy the great view, an online registration is necessary! It is advisable to plan the visit well ahead. 3
Brandenburger Tor. Pariser Platz, 10117 Bln. (map 5), S+U Brandenburger Tor, Bus 100. Standing for thirty years in the no-man’s-land between east and west, Brandenburg Gate is one of the distinguished landmarks of Berlin. 4
Potsdamer Platz. 10785 Bln. (map 5), S+U Potsdamer Platz, Bus 200. After being nearly abandoned during Cold War it is one of the major redevelopment areas. Some pieces of the Wall reminds us the former bisection of the square. Besides the Wall, the tent-like Sony Center is the main attraction here. A shopping center lies to the south of Potsdamer Straße . 5
Gendarmenmarkt. 10117 Bln. (map 5), U Stadtmitte, Bus 100/200. Being surrounded by two neoclassical cathedrals and a concert hall, this is arguably the most beautiful square in Berlin. Don’t miss the opening ceremony in the concert hall! 6
Museumsinsel. Bodestr., 10178 Bln. (map 5), S Hackescher Markt, Bus 100/200. The central Spree island hosts Berlin’s most important museums and the Berlin Cathedral. Even if you don’t plan to visit the museums, it is nice to just stroll around and enjoy the neoclassical Prussian architecture. 7
Berliner Dom. Am Lustgarten, 10178 Bln., +49 30 20269119 (map 5), S Hackescher Markt, Bus 100/200, Mon–Sat 9am–8pm, Sun noon–8pm, 7 e. The Berlin Cathedral is the main church in Berlin. Besides normal visits, there are also concerts performed. Check out the website. 8
Humboldt Box. Schlossplatz 1, 10178 Bln., +49 30 20625076 (map 5), Bus 100 & 200, 10am–8pm, 4 e. Besides its purported use of being an information center for the reconstruction of the former city palace, the Humboldt Box offers great views on the (historic) sites around and on the boulevard Unter den Linden. Despite its modest height, this is definitely an alternative to the neighboring TV Tower. 9
Fernsehturm. Panoramastr. 1A, 10178 Bln. (map 5), S Alexanderplatz, 9am–midnight, 12 e. Berlin’s TV Tower offers you great views over the city. It is advisable to buy online tickets to avoid queuing. Once you made to the top, you can enjoy a coffee in the revolving restaurant. Humboldt Box is a good alternative to save money and time. 10
¨ Siegessaule. Str. des 17. Juni / Großer Stern, 10557 Bln. (map 4), Bus 100, 9:30am–6:30pm, 3 e. Built in 1873 to commemorate the wars that lead to the foundation of the German Reich in 1871, this monument offers an impressive view along Str. des 17. Juni. Originally located close to Reichstag, the Nazis moved it to its current location. 13
¨ Gedachtniskirche. Breitscheidplatz, 10789 Bln. ¨ (map 4), S+U Zoologischer Garten, U Kurfurstendamm, Bus 100 & 200. While major parts of the church were destroyed during World War II the intact parts of the church are still in use and serve as a museum and war memorial. Currently, the building is under construction, yet open to visitors. 14
Schloß Charlottenburg. Spandauer Damm 20-24, 14059 Bln., +49 331 9694200 (map 10), S Westend, Bus M45 from Ernst-Reuter-Platz, Tue–Sun 10am–6pm, 12 e. The Charlottenburg Palace is the largest palace in Berlin and the only remaining royal residence of the Hohenzollern family. It is surrounded by a nice garden, which is open to public (without fee). 15
Traces of the Nazi Regime Examples of the intimidating architecture of that time are the Olympic stadium or the by now closed Airport Tempelhof. There are also several bunkers around (e.g., in Humboldthain or at Reinhardtstraße / Albrechtstraße) as they are so robust that bursting them is more or less impossible. To remember the victims of the Nazi Regime, Artist Gunter Demning installs Stolpersteine (brass plaques) in front of former homes of victims. At a less personal level but on a much larger scale, the Holocaust Memorial also remembers the victims of National Socialism. Holocaust Memorial. Trautenaustr. 14, 10717 Bln., +49 30 28045960 (map 5), S+U Brandenburger Tor, Bus 100 & 200, 10am–8pm, free. This Field of Steles is the winning contribution of a protracted architectural design competition for a memorial site to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
