.✫*¨`*✶Beauty of BERLIN ♪¸.✻ღ
The experience of moving to a new place will open your eyes and broaden your mind more than you can imagine. Moving to a new city is an experience I whole-heartedly recommend. It’s one of the things everyone should do before they turn 40.
After nearly an year stay in European nation mainly in Germany, In next 3 months I will be leaving Germany for INDIA. Life will never be the same thanks to life in the Germany capital city.
BERLIN, I think it’s a great city to live, one of the best cities to live in the world. In the one aspect for which really no other city can beat her is for its nightlife. Seriously, nowhere else in the world come even close.
But Berlin is also a great city to live because of the many features that make the quality of life great here. I’ll name those that strike me the most, because of how amazing they are, and also because of how scarce they are in other places in the world.
Berlin had always been on my list of places to visit in Germany. The city did not fail to impress; there were so many things to do that there was physically not enough time to see everything! The people were so welcoming and keen to show off everything that their city has to offer.
If you would like to find out how life in Berlin might look, read and see the images to discover my experience of the beautiful German capital…
Autumn in Berlin:
Natures Beauty at its Best…In Autumn, It looked like the Berlin was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon. Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale. We are so lucky and glad that we live in a world where there are Octobers.
Brandenburg Gate:
Built between 1788 and 1791 by Prussian King Frederick William II as a key entry point to the city of Berlin, Brandenburg Gate was topped off with a statue known as the “Quadriga,” which depicted a statue of the goddess of victory driving a chariot pulled by four horses.
Wall Museum
A visit to the Wall Museum in former East Berlin takes you on a journey through time, from the construction of the Wall in 1961 to its destruction in 1989.
Berlin Wall
The Berlin Wall enclosed West Berlin from August 13, 1961 to November 9, 1989, cutting a line through the entire city center. It was supposed to prevent East Berliners and citizens of East Germany from fleeing to the West, but the Wall was unable to entirely stop the mass of people from fleeing.
The Rebuilt Reichstag
The Reichstag was originally completed in 1894 where the Neo-Renaissance palace served as the home of the German Empire’s Imperial Diet until it burned in 1933. It was not used again until after the reunification of Germany, at which point it underwent a 10-year reconstruction and finally became the home of the German Parliament in 1999.
A highlight of this magnificent reconstruction is the replacement dome, the Kuppel, made of glass and offering superb views of the surrounding city, especially at night from the Rooftop Restaurant.
Berlin Waterfront
Spree and Landwehr Canal, Müggelsee and Wannsee: Berlin is a green city with many lakes and rivers. This is why Berliners love being near the water above all else. The best way to get to know the Berlin lake landscape is on a boat trip. Or you can sail along directly past the tourist attractions.
Oldest Zoo of Germany
Berlin Zoo, It’s the oldest zoo in Germany — but totally modern. The Zoo Berlin and the Aquarium Berlin are a highlight for all the family. Recently i visited Berlin Zoo and I felt its worth sharing with wide audience. One of the things I love about this zoo is the architecture of the animal houses. Chickens get half timbers, bison get totem poles and giraffes get minarets. Isn’t it cute?
Tiergarten’s monument( Victory Column)
The most famous of the Tiergarten’s monuments is the massive Victory Column (Siegessaule), a 70-meter-tall structure crowned by an eight-meter-high gold statue of Victoria. The statue, dubbed Golden Lizzy by locals, was completed in 1873. It’s well worth climbing the 285 steps to the top of this magnificent monument for the views over the Tiergarten. (And if you look closely, you’ll still see evidence of bullet damage caused during WWII.)
Berlin’s Television Tower
Despite celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2020, the 368-meter-tall Berliner Fernsehturm (Berlin Television Tower) has lost none of its appeal to visitors to the city. Since opening in 1970, Europe’s third-tallest freestanding structure has attracted over 60 million visitors, most of them drawn for the spectacular views over Germany’s capital.
Berlin Cathedral Church
Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom) is one of the complex’s most imposing buildings thanks to its 75-meter-high dome. After decades of painstaking work to repair war damage, the church has been returned to its former glory, and highlights of a visit include the Imperial Staircase, decorated with bronze cornices and 13 tempera paintings by Berlin landscape painter Albert Hertel in 1905, and the Imperial Gallery with its splendid views of Berlin.
Gendarmenmarkt
The Gendarmenmarkt, one of Berlin’s largest squares, is dominated by three historic landmark buildings: the Konzerthaus, the French Cathedral (Französischer Dom), and the German Cathedral (Deutscher Dom). This picturesque 17th-century square is now one of Berlin’s top tourist attractions, hosting numerous public events each year, including classical concerts on the steps of the Konzerthaus theater in the summer, while each December the entire plaza becomes the city’s famous Christmas Market.
German Museum of Technology
The must-see German Museum of Technology was established in 1983 to showcase and celebrate Germany’s industrial and technological prowess. There are plenty of vehicles and aircraft on display, including a number of preserved steam engines dating back as far as 1843. Other highlights include riding in a vintage 1930s train from the museum to its locomotive depot on the weekends.
Berlin Cycling
Cycling in Berlin is a significant form of transport in the German capital where around 500,000 daily bike riders accounted for 13% of total traffic in 2010. The city has a highly developed bicycling infrastructure and it is estimated that Berlin has 710 bicycles per 1000 residents. Among cities with more than one million inhabitants Berlin is a metropolis with one of the highest rates of bicycle commuting in the world.
Berlin Ganesh Temple
It has been a long desire of the Hindu community living in Berlin to build a Ganesha temple. This idea materialized in June 2004 with the support of Bezirksamt Neuköln, who generously offered sites on which a temple could be built. The Hindu community members formed an a association as Sri Ganesha Hindu Temple e.v. with an aim to carry out the construction, maintenance of temple and cultural/community center. The association is registered in Berlin as e.v., in the year 2006, and is also recognized by the Finance authorities of Germany, as a charitable organisation. All INDIANS get together here at temple to celebrate every Indian festival as an extended family.
Soviet War Memorial
The Soviet War Memorial is one of several war memorials in Berlin, capital city of Germany, erected by the Soviet Union to commemorate its war dead, particularly the 80,000 soldiers of the Soviet Armed Forces who died during the Battle of Berlin in April and May 1945. The memorial is located in the Großer Tiergarten, a large public park to the west of the city centre.
Public Transportation
The most important means to move around are the Ubahn (urban train, like a Metro) and the Sbahn (also train, but more similar to trains that move inter cities, though it also works to move around Berlin, especially among distant points). They may not be the most modern train systems in the world, but sure they work as well as them, and they are for far the most romantic!!! I mean, some Ubahn stations are like architecture museums, say Hermannplatz or Nollendorfplatz. In all of them, I feel like I’m in a suspense and thriller book.
Berlin Events(Lights Festival, New Year Celebrations)
💕✨Lights Festival 2019✨✨💕
Witness one of the most spectacular events in Berlin and immerse yourself in the magnificent light art! For ten days in October, spectators can enjoy all of the highlights on foot (all the installations are situated mainly in the city center), by bus, Segway, or by boat. Many local and international lighting artists use this unique opportunity to project their temporary works of art onto some of the most recognizable buildings in the world, leaving a lasting impression on the spectators.
On New Year’s Eve, the city of Berlin invites guests and Berliners alike to celebrate the beginning of a new year with a huge open air party. The celebrations with live bands, DJs and a spectacular fireworks display at midnight are free of charge and attract hundreds of thousands of people every year.
There is lot and lot more to share and know about Beauty of BERLIN. Lifestyle is a pretty wonderful one. “Since I’ve moved here, my life has slowed down and opened up. I have more time. My daily life is wonderful. I don’t feel lonely, as I often did in the States. There’s always something here to occupy my attention. I’m always reading. Always writing. I see my friends once or twice a week. And my life is full.”
I’ve had a lot of time since I moved to Berlin, but I’m still sure: this is the best thing that happened in my life until now. Of course, I did not experience a lack of events, trips and adventures, even being in Belarus, but still moving to another country is a truly unique experience. Well, these are just some of the few things that make me love Berlin, and also to think that this is one of the best places to live in the world, and therefor, a great city to live in
