Nightlife in Berlin

Berlin is a city where travelers like to party and the bars are available till the following day. Like I found out for myself, the nightlife here is so fascinating that one is not willing to go back for a rest to one’s Berlin holiday apartment. Thus on the last day of my stay in Berlin, my friends took me to a pub where we’d a little something to eat and some cocktails that is a favorite activity for all college students in Berlin before they go to the night clubs. We discussed where to go as Prenzlauer Berg, Mitte and Friendrichshain regions were just as good and all to be found in the eastern part of the city and offering lots of discos, bars and brasseries.Photos of Park Plaza Prenzlauer Berg Berlin, Berlin

We spent some hours in the pub right up until one o’clock and then headed towards the Magnet Club. I was wearing a sports T-shirt and jeans and therefore I asked whether my outfit would be a problem, but all my local freinds asserted me that in Berlin nobody cares how old are you or what you wear. In the Magnet Club we listened to some brit pop music and then we headed towards the Pfefferbank Club, after which we finished the night at the King Kong Club.Radiopilot at Magnet Club Berlin

Seems like I had some more drinks that I really should have and in the morning I said good-bye to my local freinds and went to my Berlin apartment where I’d several long hours of sleep.

Once I woke up my hangover was gone, but I was starving that I ate everything I had stored in the fridge the day before. Then I packed my baggage and started for the international airport. My trip back home was pleasant and short as I slept throughout the entire trip.

Strolling tours in Berlin

Back in my country I do not have lots of time for sporting activities, because almost all of my time is spent looking at the computer doing work or in front of the TV set, watching films. Therefore, when I decided to travel to the main city of Germany for the duration of the weekend, I looked for a Berlin property which is in the centre of the metropolis, in close proximity to the parks and the walking areas. I further tested the free walking tours and I picked one with an English speaking assistant. The trip covered numerous cultural landmarks and some heritage sights which were placed in the downtown area and listed the Reichstag and the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Wall and the Checkpoint Charlie border point.

On the day after I made a decision to go to the Brewers Berlin Tour, but there after I was sick and tired of this type of guided trips and decided to see the other of the sites by myself but nevertheless on foot. In this way I was able to see the Berlin Dome church, the German Parliament Bundestag, and the Tiergarten which is the largest park in the city.

The next morning I woke up quite early, made myself a chocolate and a breakfast at my Berlin holiday accommodation and headed towards the local zoo where I made some wonderful photographs of the panda bears and the polar bear. After that I visited the Aquarium where I saw a number of crocodiles and fish. I had lunch at the Viktoriapark where I appreciated the views over southern Berlin. I was pretty exhausted because I got up early and thus I returned my Berlin holiday accommodation and had a great sleep before I met my friends for an early dinnertime meal and a trip to a bar they love to visit.

Berlin has been on my wish-to-see spots in Europe and when I set aside some bucks I made a decision to fulfill that wish and go to some friends who I haven’t seen for longer than twelve months. I’d my airplane tickets and reserved a Berlin accommodation that is compact in dimensions, but designed with all amenities – just everything I needed for a restful stay.

Since I got there in an early Friday morning and my local freinds were at work until the late hours, I’d some moments by myself. I placed my luggage at the accommodation in Berlin I have arranged and used the hours purchasing. My Berlin accommodation was set next to a number of pleasant malls and several stores. Many of the dresses I bought yet were coming from the Tauentzienstrasse where I came across stores of Adidas and Nike, Zara and Esprit, etc. So there I saw also the KaDeWe shop which is the biggest of this category in Berlin.

Next, I went down the Friedrichstrasse where I entered numerous retail chains, and had a walk along the Unter den Linden street. I had a brief rest on the Gendarmenmarkt zone where I had a quick lunch meal at one of the open-air restaurants set there. In the afternoon I went to the shopping zone in the upper part of Alexanderplatz.

As you have guessed, I was already exhausted from the buying and all the hand bags, so I returned to my Berlin holiday apartment and had some sleep, before I met my friends for a few beers in the centre of the city. They were very joyful to see me and I was excited too, so we stayed for many long hours and still had what to speak about. They send me off with a taxi to my Berlin holiday accommodation and we decided to see each other again during the next days.
