I second that - Rome is the best city I've ever been to for a short break.

Yeah I knew it wasn't in Berlin, was just making another suggestion, only ever been to Germany once for a night out, guess the old prejudices put me off, having said that, every german I've worked with has been very friendly.

For a short break I'd be tempted by Berlin, moreover isn't octoberfest on soon!?

I went to Berlin last year with work. I did a huge walking tour around the city - It's very nice but a bit new for my tastes - I wonder why that is?
