My visit to Berlin was fleeting and as a result, I didn’t manage to snap too many pictures.

I did get an understanding of why it is so highly rated by those who visit it, however. I have never heard anyone bad-mouth the German capital and its rich, fascinating heritage and beautiful architecture are just two of many reasons why.

Happy to Wander has a great story about Berlin’s nightlife, whilst Europe Diaries gives a good account of a walking tour detailing the east/west divide and The Broke Backpacker has some terrific travel tips.
