Where is the best area to stay for New Years Eve celebrations in Berlin ?

We want to travel to Berlin this year for New Years can anyone recommend the best areas for celebrating ?

Outside right on the main drag - "Unter den Linden" street to Brandenburg Gate to Street of June 17th.

It's a huge party, packed with people (you must not have a faint heart, because people do have fireworks with them and they fire them from bottles on the ground and such), there is plenty of food and drinks and music , and there are "official" fireworks above the Brandenburg Gate at midnight.
If you do get too cold, there are plenty of bars and clubs close to Unter den Linden you can warm up in!

Have fun!!!

In a bunker

Safest place is in da Bunker!

Berlin

Daschund Bund, and Berliner Strasse (2 blocks from Brandenburg).

Get a hotel in the Brandenburg gate area because thats where it will all happen for new years eve celebs>.>there may be other places but thats my choice

While staying around the Brandenburger Tor is where the heart of the celebrations will be, this is also very expensive. A very very short distance away is Potsdammer Platz which has several reasonably priced chain hotels nearby (Sofitel, Mecure, etc). Potsdammer Platz is also very active on New Year's as well, of course, and you'll save bucks by staying there but not sacrifice being in walking distance to the action.

HOME!

Base yourself in the Kreuzberg district for the greatest buzz. checkout http://www.jbb7994.com
