Get an idea

“I travelled to Berlin to get an idea of what the city is like.”

Could I say ‘get a feeling of what the city is like’ as well?

Thank you.

Ann225 Could I say ‘get a feeling of what the city is like’ as well? If you use 'was' instead of 'is' in both sentences, yes. However, 'feeling for' is more native.
