[Int. Club der FU] Walking tour + Activities in Berlin during the lockdown

["Internationaler Club der Freien Universität Berlin"]

Dear members and friends of the International Club,

Unfortunately, our walking tour for Saturday is already completely booked
out! We tried to give the free places to people who haven't done a walking
tour with us so far.

However, we have some suggestions for you what to do in Berlin in lockdown
times. Although the weather is unusually too cold for April at the moment,
it seems that you can do some of the activities from next week onwards if
they are outside :-) Please find our suggestions below:

***Bus Line 100: No need to buy a sightseeing ticket! With your
enrollment, you receive the student card that allows you to travel within
the zone ABC of the public transport system VBB. With bus line 100, you
can do sightseeing without any additional costs. You will see many
attractions between Zoologischer Garten, Brandenburger Tor and
Alexanderplatz.
