a few pictures from Berlin, Germany

I have just spent a few days in Berlin, with my family. Here are a few pictures, mostly made by my husband.

These are gorgeous images. Is Berlin a very expensive city to visit?

djm

no, it’s actually quite cheap (compared to Luxembourg). Food, drink, accommodation, everything is cheaper than here.

Great pictures, Claudine–thanks for sharing them.

I loved the Ökofahrrad. Nice pics, Berlin is great. Highly recommended.

Me too…what does it mean?

Would most german speak a bit of english in Berlin?

ask Bloomfield. AFAIK it is their 1st foreign language, so most have decent skills in english.

Absolutely no problem getting by with English in Berlin (or in any German city). Everyone learns it in school and is eager to use it. It’s to the point where it’s difficult to practice your German, if you are so inclined, because everyone will respond in English when you ask “Ist dies das ricktige Weg zu den Bahnhof?”

Nice shots! I definitely would like to see that in person.

Thanks for sharing these with us, Claudine. I like to see these places, and I’ve not seen much of that sort of architecture in my travels.

“Ecobike?”

Best wishes,

Nice pics Claudine. You’re taking me with you next time, right?
I’ll start packing …
