1 - get out of the hotel and go to all the cool neighborhoods that you can.
2 - check out where the wall was. There likely is a beer hall or two there now.
3 - check out the architecture, especially on the 'eastern' side - there are some very cool, but kinda scary, Nazi era buildings that are fascinating.
and
4 - get a flight case for the guitar :headbang:

- use public transport
- avoid "döner kebab" (turkish style fast food) unless you have a recommendation for a specific one. Too many shops in berlin, little quality because of stiff competition. Quality suffers.
- check out "Friedrichshain" and "Prenzlauer Berg" for the student-left wing-alternative-ex east flair (see jackthehack's link http://www.whitetrashfastfood.com/ <- that's in Prenzlauer Berg, for example)
- check out "Mitte" for the "new" and posh Berlin with its shops and government buildings, but there's your hotel anyway
- go to Potsdam, vistit Schloss Sanssouci to get away from the hustle and bustle in Berlin
- try Currywurst
- if you are interested in German-German history, visit the former Stasi-Prison Hohenschönhausen besides the obivous visits to the Wall and Checkpoint Charlie

And also Zoo Station In Berlin is very famous, not only for the U2 song, but a book written about the time of Berlin underground life in the 1970s....

Be sure and have the Flammkuchen (sp?), there are places right on the river you can sit for a long time and just enjoy. I was there last June during the World cup. So fantastic and the food was phenomenal.
I recommend going to Pottsdam too.

And make sure you try the wine. Germany makes some great reds....
+1 to the Flammkuchen
and remember pork is almost considered a vegetable...
