Frankfurt & Berlin, Germany

21st & 22nd April 2011

Frankfurt, our first city in Deutschland. A quick dash in this city between our flight landing and the train to Berlin.





Romerberg, the historical city centre.
















Romer or the city hall. Frankfurt's city hall since 1405.











The Eiserner Steg, an iron footbridge built in 1868.











The Euro tower

Berlin was next. We took a train from Frankfurt to Berlin. About 600 kms in 4 hours. Was a breeze, fell in love with the trains here.

Berlin is a beautiful city with lots and lots of buildings. Each and every building in the city has a character to it and is very neatly maintained. It feels like this city has some poshness to it. And this is where I saw the most expensive coke in my life yet. 7.5 Euros for 200ml! The only speciality it had was that it was served in a hotel just outside Brandenberg Gate.

Museumsinsel, the museum island.




The Berlin Dome and the TV tower.





Gendarmenmrkt, the Berlin Concert House.






Check Point Charlie.

One of our much anticipated spots was the remaining Berlin wall and it really didnt dissapoint us.




The Parliament house, quite majestic.





And ofcourse, the Brandenburg Gate or the Brandenburger Tor
