I recently visited the German capital Berlin for the first time. I wasn't really sure what to expect, as I had talked to both people who absolutely loved the city and to some that were less than impressed by it before. I personally ended up liking Berlin a lot, it really is a very interesting city, full of contrasts, and of course the impressive
KaDeWe department store might be one of the best ones I have ever been to!
(A small part of Paris right in Berlin!)
(The top floor of KaDeWe, which is actually a good court. And a really good one too!)
(Details from the hotel I stayed in,
the Palace Hotel. This is in their lobby)
(I would have definitely wanted to have a drink here if it was just open as Moet & Chandon is my favorite brand of champagne. But unfortunately the weather was not exactly "sitting outside and drinking champagne"-y during my visit...)
Of course I had to do some shopping as well, but not as much as you'd think. I was busy walking around and exploring the city, so I did not have as much time for shopping excursions as I would have wanted. But I did manage to find enough time to buy 2
Louis Vuitton city guides and a
Louis Vuitton pochette!
I had been wanting a pochette for a while but never got around to getting one so I am glad I finally got that out of the way!
And I did manage to shop quite a bit at the
Diptyque stand at KaDeWe too!
So all in all, good shopping scores, cool city and a lot of fun! I think I will definitely try to go back to Berlin again!
