Berlin. What a city.
On the 25nd of March I went to Berlin for a week. I must say, it was one of the best weeks of my life. Berlin is known for its history, but never have I ever thought that Berlin was so rich in art. After a ten hour bus ride we immediately went out sightseeing, because there is a lot to see.
Berlin has it all; from the horrible yet beautiful history to streets filled with craftsmanship and artistry. During my stay I went to look at a concentrationcamp in Sachsenhousen, right outside of Berlin. It was an appalling feeling to know what happened there, but I must add: everybody has to visit a concentrationcamp once a lifetime.
The street art was one of the reasons why Berlin is right up my alley. Every wall is either painted or sprayed on. A real colourful city, just how I like it. Whether it’s night or day Berliners for sure know how to party. During an amazing bike tour we saw all kinds of interesting clubs that seem very cool. Also this restaurant called Route 66, I literally died walking through its door. It has an american vibe to it and the most exciting part is that their bathroom is huge and so instragramable.
Kreuzberg, the Soho of Berlin, is most definitely the place to be. This area is all about multiculturalness. This place has it all; artistry, delicious food and amazing people. It’s somewhere to go if you want to wander streets, explore rooftops, secret corners and doorways for photos or just for your own pleasure.
Couple friends and I went out for a street art hunt, the best thing I’ve ever done btw, we came across this abandoned swimming pool. Apparently it was burned down by a couple of youngsters. Now it’s a total wreck but also a place where artists meet and paint its walls.
In short, I had an absolute blast and I will most definitely visit Berlin again.
