48 Hours in Berlin, Germany, Berlin, Germany
There is something charming about Germany to me. Cultural diversity, beautiful landscapes, gluckwein, German style houses with timber framing are just some of the things that make this country attractive to many, including me.

The first time I visited Berlin was a year ago when I went to explore聽German Christmas markets聽during the festive season with my family. We spent the weekend there, about which聽I wrote a blog post聽a while ago, but I felt like there was so much more to see in Berlin after those 48 hours. That鈥檚 why I booked another 2 days trip to Berlin with a good friend of mine.
After spending the first hour in Berlin for the second time, I knew that I was right to book a second trip.聽This city can charm your聽pants off for sure.
