Berlin – Day 3

30 April 2025 ·

Yesterday was my final day in Berlin with my son, but as we were traveling back home yesterday evening, I didn’t have the time yet to upload some pictures of what we did yesterday.

On our last morning we strolled along the city again and we visited the huge and beautiful Berlin Dom. We walked up the Dom tower to see Berlin from above (again). This experience was much more worth it than the one from Sunday evening when we went up to the famous TV tower.

In the afternoon went to the Tiergarten park and had lunch at Café am Neuen See. I recommend this place if you happen to be visiting Berlin during good spring or summer weather. It’s a nice and quiet place in a vast and vibrant city.

Berlin – Day 2

28 April 2025 ·

Today was yet another fun day in Berlin. My son and I spent the morning shopping in the Charlottenburg area and the afternoon walking through different neighborhoods in the city, including:

  • Checkpoint Charlie
  • A burger and a beer at Burgemeister
  • RAW Berlin
  • Topographie des Terrors

Here are a few pictures from the RAW Berlin area.

Berlin – Day 1

27 April 2025 ·

Our first afternoon in Berlin started with a ‘Warm Welcome.’ Apparently, public transport works a little differently here than in the Netherlands. As we forgot to stamp our train tickets, my son and I were fined 60 euros each. There is no exemption; “Rules are rules,” they said.

Anyhow, we took our loss and moved on. We had a great first afternoon in the city; we visited some prominent landmarks and drank along the river.

Berlin Citytrip

26 April 2025 ·

I’m going on a city trip to Berlin tomorrow with my 17-year-old son. It will be our first visit to Berlin, and we look forward to it. I’ll use this Berlin tag to capture our city adventures during the next 2,5 days.

I have saved my research of possible things to do in Berlin on this bookmark list. I’m open to tips from those who have been to Berlin before, so do let me know if you have any.
