During the February half term reading week, me and my parents went on a short trip to Berlin, Germany. It's a city that I have wanted to visit for quite a while now and I was far from disappointed with my visit. We stayed in the old eastern district of Mitte which had a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere and was filled with trendy bohemian shops, boutiques and restaurants, there was also a fantastic book store dedicated to design called Pro qm. Berlin has an amazing mixture of old and new architecture and houses an abundance of museums, galleries and places of interest - The Reichstag and The Jewish War memorial were two of my favourites. Overall, Berlin is a city with a great vibe and feel, friendly people and so much to do and see, furthermore visiting during the winter meant that a thick layer of snow helped to create a very picturesque cityscape that I am looking forward to returning to one day. It is a place that acknowledges its history whilst embraces its rapidly developing future.
