Weekend trip to Berlin, Germany 🇩🇪

It was a weekend trip to Berlin, Germany 🇩🇪 Berlin is a city brimming with history, culture, and modern design, making it a fantastic destination for a weekend trip, especially if you’re looking to capture stunning photos 📸 We began our Berlin adventure at the Brandenburg Gate, one of the most iconic landmarks in Germany. The symmetry of the gate, coupled with its historical significance, made it an incredible spot for photos.m 📸 Early morning was the best time to visit, it was quieter, and the light ✨ was perfect for capturing the grandeur of the gate without the crowds. We also took a few shots with the Pariser Platz square as the backdrop 😍 After exploring the gate, we strolled along Unter den Linden, a grand avenue lined with trees 🌳 and historic buildings. The architecture and the trees on either side made for some fantastic shots, especially in the soft morning light ✨ 📍Brandenburg Gate – Pariser Platz, 10117 Berlin, Germany In the afternoon, we visited the Reichstag Building, home to the Bundestag (German parliament). The combination of neoclassical architecture and the modern glass dome created an interesting contrast, perfect for photos 📸 We took a walk around the building, and the panoramic views from the dome, overlooking the city, were breathtaking. We would recommend booking tickets in advance for the dome, as the views from the top are worth it 🙌 We also headed to the Berlin Wall Memorial. This is a significant historical site, and it offers a powerful, emotional experience. The preserved section of the wall, along with the exhibition, provided great photo opportunities 📸 especially as the light shifted in the afternoon ✨ 📍Reichstag Building – Platz der Republik 1, 11011 Berlin, Germany The next morning, we visited the East Side Gallery, a 1.3 km stretch of the Berlin Wall covered in murals and artwork 🖼️ This open-air gallery is vibrant and offers a mix of historic and contemporary art 🙌 It’s perfect for photography, especially with the colorful murals against the backdrop of the East Berlin skyline. Early morning was a great time to visit fewer tourists, and the light illuminated the art beautifully ✨ I’d recommend starting each day early ☀️ The light in Berlin, especially in the morning and late afternoon, is perfect for photography, and you’ll also get to experience the sights with fewer tourists around ✨ Berlin’s mix of historical landmarks, modern design, and unique street art makes it a photographer’s dream 🙌🙌🙌 #weekendgetaways #travel #thingstodo
