I'm a New Yorker who spent 48 hours in Berlin for the first time. 7 surprises made me sure I'll return for a longer trip.

The flight from NYC to Berlin took eight hours. When I booked my ticket, I selected the cheapest non-stop option: a red-eye with Norse Airways, a budget airline I'd never heard of. I booked the lowest-tier ticket, economy light, for $88. There was also a $20 airport check-in fee. I couldn't believe it was possible to fly across the Atlantic for around $100.

After countless trips with my fiancée, I've learned to spot the tourist traps from a mile away and how to get the most value out of every visit.
