The introduction

Hello everyone, I hope, that you are all doing just fine!

In this article I want to tell you about my experience in Berlin and how it was so cool to actually see that Berlin wall, that I had been reminded all the time, I mean, we learned it at school, we heard it on TV and saw it in films and in the Internet and on pictures and heard stories about and everything and I was really interested in that Berlin Wall and wanted to see it myself. You know, it’s a significant symbol of not only the World War 2 and Germans and the whole world and war and piece and relations and everything, but it also represents something unexplainable and you can’t really describe the feeling you get, when you touch the Wall and even look at it and everything.

It’s really a strange feeling, that you can’t really shake at that moment and you just stand there and remember everything, that you have heard about it and the stories and everything and you can not really believe, that all those things have actually happened and there were actual people connected to that Wall and people who built it and people who destroyed it and people who were in the middle of all those things happening for years…

Well, I won’t start telling you about all those things in berlin, which you must see. You know, there are these famous sites, that everyone wants to visit and while being in berlin, you should definitely visit them, because otherwise you have been to Berlin in vain, it seems so.

Reichstag Building

Of course, there’s this Reichstag building, which is a very popular tourist attraction and everyone wants to see it. Well, of course, it is a very significant building and it’s the one, where those soviet soldiers went and had the flag there and everything, so that it’s a pretty important building there.

Brandenburg Gate

Then there’s this Brandenburg Gate, built in the 18-th century, which is kind of a symbol of Berlin and everyone who has visited Berlin has photos taken in front of it, I guess, and that’ pretty good. If you ask me, however, the gate itself is not that impressive, as it is in Milan. It’s just massive and large. However, it’s really impressive during the night with all that lighting and stuff.

There are these Berlin Wall Memorial, which extends 1. 4 kilometres or so and is a remarkable place for any visitor, I guess, and the museum island, where the views are just amazing and it’s really a good place for best shots and pictures and everything.

I must say, that the graffiti art in Berlin is just amazing and it’s not in vain that this city is considered as the graffiti hometown or whatever, so I have heard and I agree with that, too, you know.

Well, anyways, the impressions are plenty and the words are just not enough for every place, so that you should go there and visit those places yourself, so that you will understand the beauty of all of them.
