A second instalment of my two-and-a-half day stay in Berlin. Some of my favourites in the city: the beautiful pastel-tinted exterior of the Martin Gropius Bau Museum, shopping in Mitte (Wood Wood Berlin, & other Stories, and 14oz), the Topography of Terror Museum, and Gendarmenmarkt, which was right around the corner from our hotel.
Berlin 2014
Berlin. What a city. What an overwhelming city. It is impossible to see all of Berlin in a day. Actually, it is probably impossible to see all of Berlin in one week. Bigger (in area) than New York City, Berlin is a metropolis rich in history, art, and culture. It is a city of contrasts; of East and West, of old and new, of extravagant, classic architectural wonders ravaged by bullet holes, and of beautifully graffitied facades among busy public squares. Berlin is truly an amazing place.
