3 of my closest friends and I planned a small holiday to the city of Berlin. Having been to a more country and rural part of Germany in the past, the capital was a huge change. The hustle and bustle of a touristic city was all there, but there was something quite cultured about Berlin. Visiting the Holocaust Memorial Site and the Berlin Wall were my highlights of the trip. The graffiti work on the Berlin Wall's East Side Gallery is a must see, powerful imagery painted by obviously passionate people; I have been to many galleries in the past, but this is something else. Although, the art galleries on Museum Island are a good visit.
We stayed in a very cheap, but modern hotel/hostel that provided us with breakfast. Although the rooms were not to big, we got our monies worth and it was a good nights sleep if you do not take into account the loud building works outside our window. Overall, minus the mishaps that occurred, visiting Berlin was a lovely experience and who better to go with than 3 of my favorite people.
