Berlin

« I love Germany, and every German town has its charm. But for me, nothing compares to Berlin. Why? It's unique! You can find a cozy corner here for every heart. Beautiful and comfortable for life. »

« Do you have a place of power or a special location that calls you back time and time again? It's a place where you can return and recharge your energy. For me, that place is Berlin. It has this magical ability to rejuvenate me, and I find myself wanting to go back again and again.

Yes, I admit it—I find the German language quite fascinating. I truly appreciate the straightforwardness and the unique character of the people. Their strong masculine traits, German cars, and architecture really appeal to me. And let’s not forget about their quality men's footwear and tailored suits. It's impressive! I even once made a authentic German dish! And the beer? Absolutely! Although, it's safe to say I don’t have a taste for pickles and sauerkraut. 😂🥴 Cheers to all! 🥳 »

« Berlin at night 🌌
Today I discovered a bar with an amazing view of Berlin. Next time, I definitely have to stop by this place. It’s a pity my week here is coming to an end. I’m not going to exaggerate, but I’ll just say: “To new meetings, Berlin!” ✨ »

« I had an incredible experience! The architecture is simply stunning! 😊 However, in my opinion, it doesn't quite connect with the building itself. The two seem to contrast with each other. »

« This place is where the road leads before the lake, where once stood the Berlin Wall. To the right is West Berlin, to the left - East Berlin. In the photo, you can see the difference between socialism and capitalism. And generally, what this Berlin looks like today. An astonishing city. 🌆 »

« Tourists in Berlin are no less than in Rome. I really loved the old architecture. The modern stuff, though, leaves something to be desired; to be fair, modernism is not really my thing. Berlin for me is one of those places where you want to come back again. »

« I’ve loved this place for 10 years now. I know it seems like everyone loves it, but what will today bring? This is where I meet the best people. A vibrant and beautiful neighborhood. Never been? Come and visit. 🌟 »

« Not everything goes as planned, sometimes even with last-minute changes. Recently, I've really started to miss summer, so I began searching for summer photos from our trips around Europe for my Instagram. Berlin immediately decided to greet us with sunny weather. I’ve been living here for about half a year now, and until now, the weather has been pretty cranky, but this weekend it was deliciously sunny, so we decided to enjoy it and take a stroll around our neighborhood.

So, if you find yourself in Berlin and your friend is tired of sitting in cafes, and the weather is just right, head to Schöneberg. This area is in the southwest of Berlin, where you can spend an hour or two wandering through parks. They are beautifully interconnected, and you can start at Stadtgarten Park. On the weekends, it’s absolutely not crowded, since the area isn’t touristy, but it’s a lovely place to stroll by the river.

Tip for the trip 🐶💡: Berlin is generally pretty dog-friendly. In many shops, cafes, and restaurants, you can go in with your pets, but of course, if you're heading to a museum, you'll have to leave your furry friend at home. »

« Berlin❤️ +6, sunny, but somehow it feels really cold! People are walking around almost like it’s spring, while I’m wearing a puffer jacket and still not warm enough. »

« Visiting the Reichstag left a massive impression on me for a lifetime. When you see those inscriptions left by the soldiers of the Red Army and the fascinating remnants preserved thanks to the Germans, you feel transported to that era—a dreadful time when life was not spared for anyone. You’re overwhelmed by feelings that are hard to explain. The complex history is palpable in every corner, making you ponder the struggles and resilience of those who came before. It's a must-visit for anyone wanting to appreciate the weight of history! 🇩🇪✨ »

« The wall, of course, didn't escape our attention. It's just too long to see it all at once. When it's pouring rain and the wind is so fierce it turns your umbrella inside out, this stretch of wall seems endless. I pushed myself to run along it and catch as much as I could.

Some images are truly striking. Among them, there's undoubtedly the legendary kiss between Brezhnev and Honecker, the portrait of academician Sakharov, and in this chaotic gallery, I even spotted those psychedelic characters from Pink Floyd's "The Wall." »

« I’ve been a bit shy to share some impressions... I mean, I’ve heard a lot about these modern European customs, but I never thought I’d actually see them doing THAT in the bushes!!! 😳🙈🙉🙊 or maybe I’m just a bit of a conservative and used to thinking that these things should happen in more comfortable settings... P.S. I didn’t take photos out of respect for the situation, but those are definitely the bushes))) »

« Germany. Berlin. Berlin Cathedral. Built between 1894 and 1905. It suffered greatly during the war. Now it stands at 98 meters tall (just a little shorter than St. Isaac's back home). It's the final resting place of German emperors.

Visiting this cathedral is my most powerful, or rather intense, impression of Berlin. 😊 »

« Berlin left me with a ton of impressions thanks to its stunning architecture, museums, and people. I will definitely come back here. I treated myself to this wonderful little book from 1984 in German with pencil drawings. I'll read it on the plane 😉 »

« Berlin was way more fascinating the second time around. There’s always something being built or renovated here. In the city center, there’s a nude beach and a monument dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community. I have loads of photos and an endless stream of experiences ahead! 😊✨ »

« Day 2 of the Euro tour. I’ve made it to Berlin. After wandering around the city and listening to the guide, you really get a sense of how powerful Germany is. Surprisingly, I really liked Berlin. More specifically, I loved the rhythm of this city. I’ll definitely come back here again 😊🇩🇪 »

« Once, a friend of mine posted a photo about her trip to Berlin. Some guy commented something like, “What are you doing there? You should go to Amsterdam / Paris / Rome instead; Germany is unbearably boring.” I, of course, kept quiet, being the polite girl that I am, but inside I was shouting, “Oh my God, what do you even know about Berlin? What do you know about real fun if you think the capital, and the birthplace of techno, is boring??!”

And why am I bringing this up? Because, honestly, this opinion isn’t unique. Why? Because Berlin, forgive me, is not for average minds. It’s not like a festive cream cake that looks beautiful and delicious at first glance, only to make you want to vomit. Berlin is something that reveals itself within. It’s not photogenic. It looks gray at first glance. It isn’t seen with the eyes; it has to be felt. It doesn’t open up to just anyone. But if it falls in love with you, it will be forever. It’s not a picture-perfect city; it’s a city with a soul. Damn, it’s alive; it’s real!

Many people have asked me why I love Berlin, and every time I struggle to answer. First, because it’s as difficult as explaining why you love your brother or a friend, a family member, a close relative. Second, I can’t explain this to someone who sees Berlin only through their eyes, because I feel it. I don’t love it for the Brandenburg Gate, currywurst, or cool shopping on Kurfürstendamm. I love it for the unique Berlin spring green of the streets, which is nowhere else in the world, for the smell of coffee that fills the city every morning, for the Kreuzberg nights, for the music of those nights, for the theaters, bars, and clubs that have existed for so long that they personally knew Marlene Dietrich and Remarque, for the history that lives in every cobblestone and electrifies the air every night, for the special vibe that can only be caught in Berlin when you greet the dawn after a sleepless night by the Spree River to the rhythms of techno that have already played but linger in your mind, for the freedom to be yourself, just because Berlin is Berlin, my Berlin. »

« Completely different impressions of the city compared to what I remembered three years ago. Lots of modern districts, glass, metal, and concrete. And it harmoniously blends with the charming old streets and green alleys. »

« Unforgettable emotions! It's one thing to hear about it in German classes, another to see, feel, and touch it... »

« To sum up our trip, I must say that Berlin is impressive 🇩🇪👍 The crazy atmosphere, constant fun, and endless movement make it feel like it never sleeps 👏 But now I find myself thinking about how much I want to go home 😊 because my two favorite little ones are waiting for me there 😍😘 and I'm just drawn to them ☺️ So tomorrow I'll be flying away from here without regret or sadness 😊 As they say, "there's no place like home" 👍 Just like that, I really want to go home 😘🏠❤️👶👦 But I will definitely return to Berlin someday 😉👍 »

« True beauty lies in the details. A regular fence somewhere in Berlin. »

« What’s Berlin without Currywurst? :) These sausages are sold on every corner, and there’s even a Currywurst museum ;) We tried it, and we liked it! Plus, we sampled some weird green Christmas beer too :) »

« The markets really impressed me in Berlin. You can find them all over the city, especially in the most beautiful spots! You can enjoy some warm mulled wine, sample traditional dishes and more, not to mention all the delicious sweets! You can sit by a fire or ride the carousels, or just take in the surroundings 😊🎄🎄🎉🎉🎡🎡🎠🎠 »

« I was really impressed by Potsdamer Platz! And Berlin as a whole!

Today we had a completely unconventional and incredibly interesting city tour with a friend who has been living in Berlin for 20 years and works as a translator. It felt like episodes unfolding (yes, like in "Ulysses"). Regarding the roof of the Sony Center, he said: "It resembles Mount Fuji... well, not always, only when someone points it out." :D »
