Hiiiiiiiii everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!,

Welcome to a new week-review in my exchange journey in Germany. This time I'd like to share with you perhaps one of most cool experiences I've had during my time here. My trip to Berlin City.

 

I woke up earlier than usual, dressed up, had breakfast and straight after that I got into the car to meet the others at Harpstedt. The air was freezing cold despite the shinny day which made me felt a bit unconfident about the wather we were about to have.

 

On our way to Berlin I had the opportunity to glimpse the landscape of the small villages in between  the territories of Niedersachsen and Bradenburg.

 

After a nearly five hours ride we finally arrived to the a German capital. Once again, Berlin had this urban atmosphere. A busy traffic surrounded by colourless and tall brick buildings and old-fashioned railroad tracks made of oxidized steel. However, just like I said on my last visit to Hamburg, as we got closer to the city centre, the whole environment changed from an industrial styled setting into a more attractive and colourful one.

 

From my copilot sit I could clearly see these massive skyscrapes a well as large parks, shopping centres, tain stations and so on.

 

Once we made the check in at the motel, we directly went to get our train/subway tickets which would help us to move freely and faster through this amazing city.

 

Our  first stop was at Alexanderplatz, a very known square by it's historical connotation in the city's history. And just in front of this square, the tallest building in Europe and Germany: der Fernsehturm. Then we moved on to a bus stop to catch a bus and make a tour around the most famous places in the city, this way we would  make up our minds to know which our interest points could be.

Finally, we had a dinner at a marvellous restaurant in Hackescher Markt, an old market place built in 1750 by König Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prusia. This lovely market place keeps, even today, its old beauty. I would definitely recommend you to have a look if you ever come along this city.

This was all for today.

 

The next day, we did the visit I'd been waiting for such a long time: the Reichstagsgebäude.  Also known as the German parlament or Bundestags Headquarters, this place doesn't just choose the German Chancellor but also is  the meeting point of the German Assambly (Bundesversammlung) every five years. As main task, the Bundestag makes the laws and owns the legislative power.

First of all, we all went from Jakob-Káiser Haus to the Paul Löbe Building through an underground tunnel. Besides, we were able to make a tour at the Reichstag's cupola. Truely amazing!!!

Then we did some shopping by Alexa and Friedrich Straße, where I finally found some place to buy the last gifts I'm bringing home with me. Apart from that, we visited other few interesting places such: Gedenkniskirche, die Museums Insel, Hackesche Höfe, Berliner Dome, the French Cathedral or Charlottenburg Palace.

This way we ended the second day in Berlin.

The third and last day we visited Postdameplatz,, a very frequented square by the berliners due to the fact that just next to it we can find the Sony centre. The Sony centre is one the biggest shopping centres in Berlin and commonly known for it's New Technologys Floor and it's Cinemas Floor.

We finally took a walk along the streets by the Berlin Wall and took a train to go and see the World Time Clock.

 Ths was my time in Berlin City, I don't know I've told you everything but hope I've done so and...

See you next time,

Bye.

PD: Oh!, and here below you've got some pictures too.
