Berlin Photo Diary

Day One

The day started so early that the first thing on the agenda was to take a nap as soon as we got to our rooms. We stayed at Hotel Berlin Berlin, a hotel right in the centre of Berlin meaning that we had stations and bus stops that could take us wherever we wanted within 30 minutes or less! Our stops for the first day were the Berlin Wall Memorial, the Brandenburg Gate & Checkpoint Charlie, it was a really sombre but nice evening, learning about German history and actually seeing pieces of it was amazing.

Day Two

For breakfast, we went to a cafe/vintage bike store and had the best pancakes of the trip, in my humble opinion. Spoiler alert: no german food was consumed during this trip, we definitely intended to at least have a kebab but it just didn't happen! After, we headed to East Side Gallery and had to try so hard not to take photos of every piece of art we saw. The day ended in the best way, spending the evening at the Botanical Gardens, it was seriously beautiful.

Day Three and four

​Shopping days! Obviously we needed a great brunch to fuel the day so we headed to Cafe Krone, a very cute cafe surrounded with plants and vintage shops everywhere so of course we had to visit one. We visited Vintage Revival and left wondering how we were going to bring everything back to the UK. Mall of Berlin was the next stop and is honestly one of the most confusing malls I've ever been in, it has huge and there was a slide which you don't see every day. Our break for the day was an incredible magazine store called Rosa Wolf, which sells selected magazines and books from around the world, I even ended up buying one for the first time in about 10 years!

Berlin was honestly one of my favourite holidays so far, second only to Malta. Would definitely recommend especially if you want somewhere with an insane nightlife but chill and picturesque locations during the day.
