I visited Berlin in the Summer of 2019 and came away disappointed. After a short period of reflection I came to the conclusion that this was an unfair assessment, I was on a stag party weekend and it is difficult to fully appreciate a city when you only see it through the bottom of a beer glass.
So I went back in December to do it again!
Berlin is the third most visited city in Europe (31m) after London (80m) and then Paris (48m) and it began to dawn on me that I needed to go back to see to see if I had misjudged it, after all it has three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, just one less than London, one more than Rome (surprising) and two more than Paris which has only one so a visit in December to the Christmas markets together with cheap airline flights seemed to be a very good opportunity.

London will be most visited in 2021 because we Brits cannot go anywhere else.

I am surprised that so many people say that they would not go to Berlin or Germany.

I tell everybody to go and see the place. We stayed near Spandau and so easy to get about.

We stayed in Alexanderplatz in the old East Berlin. Not very pretty but very easy for transport options and close enough to the centre to walk. Great bars and restaurants too.

Yeah it’s brilliant. Some of those bars are fantastic. Very free and easy City. When we left the airport and got on the metro I fell in love with the place.
