Berlin was great – as always.

I visited on a sunny weekend in August, a beautiful time to go.

For the first time I managed to visit the Reichstag (it’s free to go but you must book in advance).

The cool cupola by British architect Norman Foster is definitely worth a visit.

And it’s a great place to take weird self-portraits.

The street art around the East Side Gallery was a bit more damaged than I remembered.

But it’s still quite impressive.

And there are lots of other great street art all around the city.

This was also the first time I visited the impressive Berlin Cathedral.

From the top you get great views over the city.

And inside there are many amazing details too.

Sundays in Berlin are always great for brunch.

After eating at the lovely Napol Jonska in Prenzlauer Berg, we walked around Mauer Park.

This is a great area to see remains of the Berlin Wall in a less touristic area.

But we also stopped at some of the highlights – like the Brandenburg Gate and the memorial next to it.

Berlin never disappoints!
