This last set of Berlin photos (see part 1 and part 2) covers three of my favorite Berlin landmarks: the Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, and the Jewish Memorial. We covered all three places on our last day in Berlin. All three are free, but you do need to register for the Reichstag tour (right here), I’d recommend doing that a few days in advance. As strange as it sounds, the Jewish memorial is one of my favorite places in Berlin. I also like cemeteries. They’re calm. Peaceful. Anyways. It started to snow as we walked through the memorial. First, little flakes. Then, big, fat flakes. I wrapped my scarf around my head and across my body to cover my camera. And then it stopped. We slowly wandered over to Brandenburg Gate and to the Reichstag for our tour we were early, but we got to go up anyways. As we walked around and around the dome, the sun broke out. I’ve toured the Reichstag before, at night. It’s completely a different experience. I’m still not sure which I like better. I just know I love the dome, even though most Germans don’t. Later that night, as we waited for the bus, I snapped those nighttime frames. The TV tower at Alexanderplatz and the Berliner Dom.
I’ve got a few more Germany posts for you still. And then I’ll need to go on another adventure 🙂

The snow photos just look “quiet”. Beautiful work!
Thanks B! I loved that our trip was filled with snowy days.
Wonderful photos. I haven’t been to Berlin but I know I will love it. It seems so modern yet historic at the same time.
Jenna, it’s a fantastic mix of new and old! I think that’s one of my favorite things about Germany. It’s only sad that the reason for the mix was two world wars.
I love Berlin. Thanks for sharing your story and incredible photos!
