Berlin really captured my heart – what an incredible place full of history and relevance. I went for business but wish that I would have had more time for play and exploration.
The free time I did have was spent enjoying drinks, eating proper German food, and making our way through Mitte via rented bicycles. While we didn’t go into any museums or monuments, we got a great feel for the city’s center by passing by the Reichstag, Berlin Dom, and Brandenburg Gate. What I would really love to do is go back with a purely historical agenda. I saw different parts of the Berlin wall around town and we drank our morning cappuccinos next to Checkpoint Charlie but I want to explore more. Joe’s uncle was stationed at Checkpoint Charlie during the Cold War and us being there, just sitting, looking at it, was absolutely crazy. Berlin has so many stories to tell and I want to hear them all.
Oh, and their taxis are super comfy Mercedes.

Thanks for the pictures. Berlin is a wonderful city. If you do go to a museum next time I would suggest the Pergamon.
Thanks! Will definitely make that a priority.

Berlin is such a lovely city. Have been a few times but not for a couple of years now and would love to pop back.

I really love the look of your photos. Berlin looks interesting. Germany never used to be on my hit list but it is becoming more and more a place of interest that I want to visit one day soon.

I went to Berlin for a short break last winter and completely fell in love with it – a really great atmosphere somehow. This year we’re thinking maybe Budapest or Bruges… anyone been?
ooo both of those places would be amazing. i’ll have to wait to get tips from you.
