We're not going on a summer vacation this year. I'm not complaining (too much) - if you have to be stuck somewhere for the summer, Montreal is a fun place to be! But, if we were to jet off somewhere for the summer I would love to go to Berlin! I've never really travelled in Germany (on a high school cycling trip we went to a couple of small towns in Germany, but that's it) and my bestie currently lives in Berlin, so I am itching to go! Berlin seems like a cool city, with lots of interesting history to explore.
I'd love to wander through the Tiergarten and maybe check out the zoo with my son. Or visit Museum Island and soak up some history and culture by taking in a few of the hundreds of museums Berlin has to offer. Or see some of old Berlin like the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag. And I know my husband would be interested in some of the Cold War history, like Checkpoint Charlie and the DDR ‘Ostalgia’. I also think it would be important to see the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.
And luckily as a vegetarian, I think Berlin's food scene has evolved past currywurst and wiener schnitzel, with lots of delicious and international cuisine to try! Check out this beautiful blog to see all Berlin has to offer!
How about you? Where would you go, or are going, on summer vacation?
