Snapshots of Berlin | Travel Diary

Once again, it's been so long since I've written a blog post. I was so ready to get myself back on track and having regular posts but the whole month of January was just not a great month in many various ways that I won't get into and now is the first chance I've really had to start blogging again. I know I missed the start of 2018 blogging wise but I'm hopeful this will be a good year, not just for me but for everyone too. Near the end of December, I traveled with my boyfriend to Berlin and it was so wonderful around the Christmas period with all the Christmas markets. I know the trip was a month ago now but I thought I'd still share my photos just because I love seeing peoples travel photos and I love having a photo diary for myself to look back at.

The best thing about visiting Berlin around Christmas is their Christmas markets. There is literally so many around and they sell so many cute items and amazing food, I'm dreaming of it right now. This is one of the bigger markets at Alexanderplatz and we visited this almost everyday that we were there. They also had an ice skating rink, which was so nice and a cheap activity to do.

We visited a lot of historical sights and museums, as you do, and our hotel was about a five minute walk from the Brandenburg Gate which is such a pretty monument and street.

We visited Check Point Charlie and other various parts of the Berlin wall, but I definitely found Check Point Charlie and the museum very interesting historically.

The East Side Gallery was something I really wanted to visit and I loved the artwork, it was so different to what I imagined it to be. The historical and artistic combinations in Berlin are amazing, it makes it such an interesting city. There are also a lot of vegan food places around this area if that's something you're interested in.

This market has a wonderful band and atmosphere at night, I had eggnog for the first time here and I will probably never drink it again after, the mulled wine is a better choice.

We didn't actually go up the TV tower, partly because it was very foggy each day we were there, and also I'm not the biggest fan of heights, but I do think it looks great in photographs.

Rememebering all the Christmas markets is making me want it to be Christmas all over again, every where you look is just so pretty and the city was just buzzing with life.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my travel diary, it's long overdue. If you want to check out more of my trip you can watch it on my Youtube channel here.
