So I was lucky enough to travel to Berlin at the beginning of august for three days (I honestly wish I stayed for longer) for a quick city break with a couple of friends. I didn't really know what to expect from the city, but by the end of my trip I had fallen in love. I had never been on a city break and the confused looks from colleagues when I said that I'd be travelling to Germany didn't put me at ease. However, I'm always up for a holiday and stayed open to what I would experience whilst I was there.
I stayed in Mitte in a Boutique i31 hotel. The hotel was nicely decorated and although breakfast wasn't included we had a free minibar! The location was great as we were right next to the U-bahn (the German equivalent of the tube) which meant that we were close to the airport and had easy access to other areas. Contrary to thought, there was so much to do and see in Berlin and three days was no where near enough time to explore.
Despite this, we did manage to do quite a bit of sightseeing, and had a great time at the Berlin wall, Brandenburg Gate and the Fernsehturm tower, where we got a great view of the city. There were lots of great little restaurants on most streets and local food was available on almost every corner.
Overall, I enjoyed my trip and would definitely recommend it for a relaxing city break. I loved so much about Berlin, from the great street art to the interesting boutiques that were scattered around the city. My only regret is that I didn't stay for longer!
