3 days in Berlin

Berlin is probably one of the most dynamic, alternative and surprising cities in Europe.

A capital with a thousand faces, where we meet face to face with the history and contradictions of contemporary Europe, where we meet people from all walks of life, where we dance on a fiery atmosphere in the clubs, where the tasty cuisine of the street delight our taste buds, where the word shopping makes sense, and much more!

it's been 1 year that i visited berlin, I like to share my experience with steemit

First of all we took our plane tickets direction Berlin.

Travel :

Be aware that Berlin is very well served transport level, you have the subway (the U-Bahn), the urban train (the S-Bahn), the tram and the bus.

Upon arrival at the airport we bought an unlimited pass 72h for all transport in the city (there are machines on the platform). We paid 27 € per person, at first it seems expensive but we realize very quickly that the ticket is quickly amortized!
Do not forget to compost your ticket as soon as you buy it! In Berlin, it is enough to compute it once and to keep it on the rest of the stay.
There are no ticket checkpoints so you will not have to take it out every time you take the subway, but be careful because the controllers are dressed in civilian clothes and you can be checked at any time. That's why it's important to validate it as soon as you buy it.

Town tour :

Berlin is a very big city so if you want to visit, plan a good pair of sneakers! You can easily do everything by metro / tram but you will also walk a lot.

what I adored while strolling these green spaces, see even animals like rabbit and squirrel

Another symbol of Berlin: the TV tower located near the island of Museums in the center.

i visited the berlin fair

I want to tell you that I LOVED this city !! I was completely surprised by its size, I did not expect that at all!

I had completely omitted that the city was partly bombed during the war and that the center was rebuilt. This explains why the buildings and buildings are quite recent.
What shocked me the most is the immensity of the city. Everything is big: streets, sidewalks, shops, shopping centers ... To give you an idea Berlin is about 8 times the size of Paris, so imagine a little!

Another point that seduced me is that the city is super clean, at no time did I see a paper or butt on the floor. It's incredible!

The Germans are very respectful, we feel that it's cultural at home, and it really I think it's good!
example: many stores do not have an iron curtain, the jewels leave their jewels in the window, even those at 25 000 €! Which would seem crazy enough

Despite the grandeur of the city, it is not a city where you feel insecure, it's super cool!

The ecological conscience of the Germans also appealed to me,
All that is organic is much cheaper, we just hallucinated on prices

Finally, I would recommend more to visit Berlin in spring or autumn because the winter is very hard there! You will enjoy the city better I think of these periods.

For my part I really want to go back, because I have the impression that I still have lots of things to discover!
