Great tucked away cafe - nice place to sit for a while after walking around the city all morning. The coffee is absolutely excellent coffee. I normally order cappuccino with extra hot milk. The pastries are delicious, too. The prices might seem a bit above the average, but it's absolutely worth that! I'd like to remark that the music could be turned down a bit. When sitting inside, it gets too loud when the sounds of the music playing, batista working and coffee lovers talking come together. Otherwise it's absolutely perfect. All different flavor profiles and styles of coffee and espresso. #europetravel #berlin #localspot

Berlin in a day? Fast-paced, packed with history, creativity, and some unexpected finds. With limited time, I squeezed in as much as I could—mixing iconic landmarks with personal favorites and a few lucky discoveries. 🚶♂️ History First: A Walk Through Berlin’s Past I kicked off the day at Brandenburg Gate, then made my way to the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe—a sobering but powerful experience. A quick stop at Checkpoint Charlie brought Cold War history to life, standing at what was once the world’s most famous border crossing. 🎨 Art, Culture & Unexpected Treasures Berlin’s East Side Gallery was next, where the remnants of the Berlin Wall are now covered in bold, thought-provoking murals. From there, I stumbled upon an art flea market, packed with vintage finds, handmade pieces, and indie artists selling their work. Couldn’t resist picking up a roll of film at a great price, perfect for capturing future travels. 🧋🍜 Food & Bubble Tea Breaks No stopover is complete without good food, and Berlin’s Vietnamese scene is next-level. I grabbed a bowl of comforting phở, a taste of home in the middle of Germany. For dessert, I made my way to The Alley Bubble Tea, because sometimes, you just need that perfect boba fix. 📸 One Last Stroll Before Heading Out As the day wrapped up, I soaked in the city’s energy, stopping at a beer garden for a Berliner Weisse before heading back to the station. Berlin in a day? Chaotic, colorful, and full of surprises—just the way it should be. I will be heading next to Nuremberg and it'd be in the part 2. #Berlin #OneDayInBerlin #FoodieTravels #ArtMarkets #HiddenGems #travel

Five Elephant Mitte 📍 Alte Schönhauser Str. 14, 10119 Berlin, Germany This time, based on a friend's recommendation, I visited a café in Berlin called Five Elephant. They actually have two locations, and I went to the one located on a street filled with boutique shops. On a weekday morning, Berlin's cafés tend to be relatively quiet, making for a particularly leisurely experience. The café offers a wide variety of cakes, and I chose a round cheesecake—it looked really charming and playful. The latte had a very nice taste, rich with a hint of bitterness, unexpectedly delightful! It seems that Germany's coffee beans are quite excellent too. #2024mapped #berlin

Berlin comes alive with festive charm during Christmas, offering magical moments at every turn. The iconic Gendarmenmarkt transforms into a winter wonderland, with artisan stalls and gourmet treats set against the backdrop of the illuminated Konzerthaus. At Charlottenburg Palace, the baroque architecture glows with fairy lights, creating a dreamy setting for its sprawling market. Alexanderplatz and Potsdamer Platz buzz with holiday cheer, complete with ice-skating rinks and dazzling light displays. Whether you’re sipping glühwein under the Brandenburg Gate or exploring the twinkling stalls at Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, Christmas in Berlin is an unforgettable celebration of joy and wonder. #magicalxmastrip #christmas #europe #travel #thingstodo #germany #berlin #solotrip

I watched the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra performance on October 19th. I still feel the afterglow of the emotion, so I feel goosebumps while writing this post. After the performance, conductor Sakari Oramo is receiving applause. If you go to Berlin, Germany, a Philharmonic performance is a must-see. The Berlin Philharmonic is located close to Potsdamer Platz, right next to the Sony Center. It is the main part of the Culture Forum, where art performance halls are gathered, and there is a bus stop attached to it. You can reserve performances on the website, and they are much cheaper than in Korea. If there are no performances, please visit Trip.com, which sells tickets for an inside tour~ #BerlinTravel #BerlinPhilharmonic #BerlinPhilharmony #BerlinConcertHall #berlin

The coffee is well made, but a little thin and bitter. I didn't get to examine the beans. I'll head back for an espresso to get micro. The toast was lovely, and if the abundant chervil had tasted like chervil, we'd be talking 5* with all kinds of bullets. Not their fault. Even having chervil is exciting in this stättle. The broccoli was seared, not charred? Small point, big difference in the flavour stakes. The avocado was good, which a local tells me is as rare as chervil. Fennel fronds aren't as pretty, but perhaps make the twist they're aiming for. The dressings could be more positive too. #internationaltravel #couplestrip #berlin

We passed by this shop yesterday when wandering around Hackescher Market and were attracted to the vibe and the loveliness of the space. We went to the shop this morning and ordered a latte and a cappuccino. However, I think their special coffees were a bit overpriced. I wanted to try Yemen coffee but it was 20€s. So I went with flat white and iced latte. Both were quite tasty. We enjoyed our coffee and it was a good way to start a new day in Berlin. It was a lovely surrounding area here too if you want to have a look around. #internationaltravel #berlin #couplestrip

Berlin, the vibrant capital of Germany, is a city steeped in history and brimming with cultural diversity. Known for its iconic landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate and the Berlin Wall, the city tells a powerful story of resilience and transformation.

While you may find less social interaction after dark, the city’s eclectic neighborhoods each offer a unique experience, inviting you to explore its hidden gems.

#boutiquehotels #100waysoftravel #berlin #Moxyberlin #germany Our stay at Moxy Berlin Airport was a pleasant surprise. We initially chose it for its proximity to Berlin Brandenburg Airport, not expecting much. However, it turned out to be one of the best transit hotels we've experienced. The modern design, spacious room, and exceptional comfort ensured we had a great night's sleep. The lobby's unique decoration, featuring airplane models suspended from the ceiling and an impressive collection of vintage cameras and typewriters, added a cool and nostalgic vibe. The hotel also offers a bar, gym, and a cozy area for board games and relaxing.

German Berlin 🇩🇪 is so nice place to hang out with friends. This location was the best for some chill time.

I wish I had a chance to stay longer. Next time I should stay for a week to be able to enjoy all the nice places Berlin has😊 #germany #berlin

Hamburger Bahnhof-Museum, named after the train station that once connected Berlin to Hamburg, is located near Berlin Central Station. The former station building itself is spacious, and with the addition of the converted train sheds, the exhibition space exceeds 10,000 square meters. While the station hall was being prepared for the next exhibition, visitors can still enjoy a wide variety of contemporary art in other exhibitions and permanent collections. It took me about three and a half hours to see everything, including a moment of panic when I thought I was done but discovered another exhibition space from outside and had to go back in. I recommend setting aside at least half a day to fully enjoy the museum. The museum also features a café-restaurant with high ceilings and a sense of openness, and the outdoor terrace is very pleasant. The spaces inside and outside the museum are perfect for relaxing after viewing the art, allowing you to savor the experience. This is a must-visit spot for art lovers, offering a grand scale and a rich variety of contemporary art. 📍Location: Hamburger Bahnhof Museum der Gegenwart Invalidenstraße 50-51, 10557

The Everest Base Camp trek is a legendary adventure that draws trekkers from around the globe to the heart of the Himalayas. Spanning about 130 kilometers round trip, the journey offers breathtaking views of towering peaks, including the world's highest, Mount Everest. The trek is not just about the destination but also about the experience of immersing oneself in the rich Sherpa culture, passing through charming villages, and witnessing the serene beauty of the Sagarmatha National Park. Trekkers navigate challenging terrain, high altitudes, and ever-changing weather conditions, making it a test of physical endurance and mental resilience. Yet, the rewards of completing this iconic trek are unparalleled, leaving a lasting impression on all who undertake it. #falltrip#mytravelhacks#historicallandmarks#localguides#familytrip#trip#instatravel#siemreap#berlin#myungdong

#thingstodo Berlin is one of the city in Germany , as well as the capital. In the recent trip to Berlin, I felt really delightful and impressed of their architecture and the stunning view of those historical buildings. The first attraction is the Fernsehturm, which is one of the television tower and also an iconic landmark in Berlin. Furthermore, the Berlin cathedral is also a good place to explore around. It was built from 1894 to 1905. Moreover, it is convenient to take the metro to everywhere and I really recommend the S line which is the most convenient and easiest way to explore around the city. #berlin

Berlin, Germany is a city full of history, especially preserving many buildings from World War II. For friends who are interested in this area, it is definitely a place worth visiting.

In addition, Berlin has many museums, art galleries and cafés, providing ample choice of cultural and leisure activities. You can visit historical sites, sample local cuisine, enjoy a rich art and culture, and wander through stunning parks and canals.

#timetotravel Recently visited the Berlin Wall and was deeply moved by the cruel history it represents. It served as a stark reminder of the hardships endured by individuals during that time. However, what truly impressed me was the unwavering strength of the German nation. Through the reunification of East and West, they have demonstrated resilience and determination. Witnessing their progress since the fall of the wall is awe-inspiring. Germany's ability to overcome adversity and build a prosperous future is a testament to their spirit. #BerlinWall #Resilience #GermanNation #Inspiration #berlin

#summerbreak While in Berlin, one of the top places to see was the Berlin Cathedral. I went mid afternoon and while the surrounding area was pretty busy, the cathedral itself wasn’t. Entry is €10 and you can purchase the ticket from a small stall just to the left side of the cathedral entrance. Once inside, the decor is stunning. Gold detail all around and peaceful. You can take a walk up to the top of the dome, this is included in your ticket price but there are regular warnings as you enter that area to take care. You will also see signs on the way up counting how many steps you have left. It’s 267 steps in total, the staircases become narrow the further up you go. #berlin #cathedral #summer #europetrip

Name📝: Sea Life of Berlin Address 📍: Spandauer Str. 3, 10178 Berlin, Germany Nearest metro station 🚉: Hackescher Market Opening hours 🕰️ : 10:00-19:00 Monday to Sunday, but the last entrance time is 17:45 What is special ✨ Although most aquariums are similar (and this one as well), there are exhibits of fish and shrimps in this one that are quite special in species. ❗️although you can buy a ticket on the spot, it’s cheaper and safer (for securing a spot) to buy online in advance. If you buy a combo plan (for example Sea Life and Berlin Dungeon or with Madame Tussauds), you can save a lot. #germany #Berlin #sealife #aquarium #museums
