Considering the last post, you might think we only headed from restaurants to coffee shops and snack booths during our trip. Well this is certainly kind of true but we didn’t ignore the other attractions of Berlin completely. Although I didn’t buy anything at the Mauerpark flea market, I enjoyed being among a cool bunch of people. I’m not of a big shopper anyway but I don’t mind browsing around. The market is so big that I got a little tired though 😛
Sometimes selling clothes is simple as that, but it looks like people are busy in their phones.
I’m not a huge Starbucks fan but I bet this cute booth can save a coffee addict’s life.
We stumbled accidentally into this cool designed mall: Bikini Berlin. My bf totally geeked out on its architecture.
It’s right next to the zoo and from the window you can watch monkeys in their outdoor enclosure. What a cool spot to hang out!
Last time I missed the online registration for visiting the glass roof of the Bundestag, the national parliament of Germany. The structure is very interesting and smart, unfortunately the view was a little restricted because of the rain. However don’t forget to book an appointment if you’re planning to visit it.
I thought the spiral architecture would look better in b/w 😉
The East Side Gallery is another must-see. This one is probably the most famous artwork of the open-air gallery showing Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and East German leader Erich Honecker giving a fraternal kiss. Yes, fraternal – this graffiti isn’t a joke someone made up, it’s based on a real photograph!
Tempelhof airport is a huge complex in the middle of the city but not operating as an airport anymore. However it’s a place of rich history and monumental architecture. Too bad that we missed the guided tour which is the only way to get a peak inside. Oh well, it’s on my list for my next visit!
So do you have a favourite place in Berlin? Let me know in the comments!

I did, thank you! I’m glad we found that mall randomly!
I also love the black and white photographs…they are excellent.
Thanks a lot Sue 🙂
Du hast recht, der Reichstag in s-w sieht wunderbar stylish aus. Wenn ich in Berlin bin, gehe ich immer im Traditionsrestaurant Zur Letzten Instanz (http://zurletzteninstanz.com) Buletten essen. Die sind eine echte Institution! Viel Spaß noch, liebe Grüsse Heike
Hmm das sieht ja nett aus! Danke für diesen Tip!
That glass roof looks amazing! Not really sure about my favorite place in Berlin, but I really liked the hip, dynamic vibe, which is everywhere. When we were in pilot school, my husband managed to snatch a training flight to Tempelhof right before it closed:)
Wow pilot school – how exciting! You’re right, Berlin feels so hip everywhere 😉
omg that starbucks booth is the cutest!! you’ve captured some amazing shots of the city sileas 🙂
Thank you Annie! Yeah I loved that booth. I almost feel bad that I don’t drink coffee 😛
Bikini Berlin!!!! That’s a kind of place I love to hangout the whole day 😀
And the cute lovely Starbucks stand, haha…is there any special flavor coffee or tea in Berlin? I am always looking for special flavour around different country 🙂
Oh~ I just love this post, it gives me that weekend vibe of exploring a new place!

Unfortunately I’m not drinking coffee, so I can’t tell you anything about the flavours 🙁 But Berlin is full of hip coffee and tea shops, so I’m sure you’ll find something 😉

Thank you! It’s a lot going on there…
du warst am tempelhof flughafen? so cool. das haben wir leider nicht geschafft. auch sonst hast du ein “ganz anderes” berlin gesehen als ich 🙂 (mit ausnahme der east side gallery). die s/w aus dem reichstagsgebäude finde ich übrigens besonders toll!
Danke! Schon witzig wie unterschiedlich die Städte wahrgenommen werden 🙂 Wir wollten eigentlich in den Tempelhof hinein, aber haben leider die Führungen verpasst. Das nächste Mal dann 😉
hab ich mir auch vorgenommen 🙂
This looks like such a fun trip. Hope you had a great time
