Sunset Over Berlin: The view from the Park Inn on Alexanderplatz
I’ve been meaning to check out the view from the Sun Terrace of the Park Inn Hotel on Alexanderplatz since @SandyInBerlin tweeted a link to a post about it on Just Travelous. So when Luci from In A Berlin Minute was scouting a location for her next video last week I joined her. The Sun […]
Zur Bratpfanne – Putting the curry in Currywurst
I’m beginning to wonder if my love of Currywurst is turning into a ‘Currywurst problem’. Friends have started recommending Imbisse (snack restaurants) to me to help me in my hunt for ‘The Best of the Wurst‘. Not that I’m complaining though because it was through a recommendation that I discovered Zur Bratpfanne in Berlin’s Steglitz. […]
More Street (Sign) Art in Berlin
In the four weeks since I posted my CLET – Street (Sign) Art post I have seen more street sign interventions in Berlin. Photos of the work have been appearing on Instagram and Twitter with a deserved positive reaction (except from the authorities). I’m not sure if CLET has been in Berlin for some time […]
Internationales Berliner Bierfestival (International Berlin Beer Festival)
A little over a week ago, Berlin hosted the 16th International Berlin Beer Festival (Internationales Berliner Bierfestival) with the theme ‘Beers of the region of the Baltic Sea’. In 2011 the festival set a Guinness World Record for the longest beer garden in the world at 1,820 metres. This year the Beer Mile (sic) was 2.2 […]

Marienburger
When Ian & Ebe from Back to Berlin and Beyond suggested meeting for lunch a couple of weeks ago and asked me to choose the restaurant I had to search the memory banks for somewhere new to try. Luckily, I remembered reading a positive review of Marienburger on Mogli Oak – Berlin. So on a […]
Stolpersteine 120 – 121
I have made my weekly update to my Stolpersteine Gallery to include photos of the Stolpersteine I saw over the last week. The memorials I saw were laid in memory of: Dr Siegfried Lesh (Chausseestrasse 117) and Emil Bab (Prenzlauer Allee 34). You can read more about the origins of these memorials to the victims of National […]
Sunset Over Wannsee
After spending the sunny part of Saturday being silly and getting sunburnt at Slow Travel Berlin’s sports day for adults, the Slowlympics, watching the sunset over the Wannsee from a small sandy beach was a relaxing way to end the day. Berlin has many lakes and on sunny summer days Berliners flock to them to […]
