Brandenburg Gate
A few weeks ago I took a trip to Berlin with a friend of mine from work. With so much history surrounding the city, I was definitely excited to pay it a visit. I have to admit though, once I was there I definitely felt like I needed to brush up on my Berlin history!
We made sure to check out all the really big historical sites, including one of the last remaining sections of the wall, Checkpoint Charlie, and Brandenburg Gate. We also made time to go check out the Berlin Zoo on Sunday and pay our respects to Knut's family (the bear died only a week before we visited). Not gonna lie, I thought it was kind of funny that people were upset enough to create and leave items for a memorial, especially after all the city has been through in the last 100 years...
Although I wish I could've stayed longer than just the weekend (there's so much to see!), I still really enjoyed seeing the beautiful and historic city.
What about you? Would you ever want to visit Berlin?
