Having grown up close to the Germany border in the Netherlands, the country was our main destination as a family for weekends away. Its quirky little medieval towns and magnificent castles will transport you to a fairytale of your own. If you are more into the hustle and bustle of big cities, however, Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich all have bright personalities which will keep you busy for days. All in all, Germany has many adventures up it sleeves, if one knows where to look.
Berlin is so diverse: with a rich history and so many subcultural scenes around it is hard to pick one favorite neighborhood. So, out of all the neighborhoods in Berlin, I picked five! Including a short history of each, I have gathered all of my favorite things in each place for you to enjoy the next time you visit Berlin.
Visiting Berlin in the summer is like a love affair you never expected to happen: sultry and sunny hot days in a city where music is always playing, beer and cocktails are always flowing, and people are always their kindest selves. During our weekend there, we did as much as we could. From the best biergartens to the most adventurous activities, I created this guide of the top fifteen things to do in Berlin in the summer you should not miss.
Schnitzels, bratwurst, sauerkraut.. three things we did not eat this trip. Berlin has such a diverse food scene, we decided to leave the traditional German food for a future trip to Bavaria and go on an adventure instead. Although we did try some gluten free bakeries, we found out one of the best things to have was Vietnamese food. Scroll down to read my complete gluten free Berlin guide.
