Welcome to Berlin! Everywhere you look – up and down, in every corner, in front of your nose and especially behind you in all the courtyards – there is so much to discover in Berlin. Let yourself be swept up by the city’s sense of freedom.

Step off familiar paths and be open to discovering YOUR OWN Berlin. Don’t let Berlin’s occasional harshness faze you: There is always something beautiful to explore. Step out today with an open heart, open eyes, and fall in love with my Berlin – which is to say, your Berlin! What are you waiting for?

Though I live in the leafier part of the city, I love diving into the bustling heart of the city during the day. The sidewalk in front of my favourite cafe, DoubleEye, is a great place to watch the world go by. I also recommend visiting the cemetery in Stubenrauchstraße in Friedenau. Like I said: “Get away from the mainstream and head for the places that truly calls your name.” I don’t want to tell you much more – though maybe I will mention that this cemetery is the spot where Marlene Dietrich and Helmut Newton were laid to rest.

What I love about Berlin? There’s always something new to discover and something new to try.
