First Berlin experiences: The World Cup and a Palace

I arrived in Berlin from Amsterdam, where the evening before the city was celebrating the Dutch World Cup victory that guaranteed their place in the finals. I thought: why not watch my first football match here in Berlin? If they win, they'll go nuts too. It'll be a blast!

So I headed to the local Spandau citadel, following the throngs of German-flag-laden fans. They lost. Very anticlimactic.


Today, I visited the spectacular Schloss Charlottenburg (schloss = palace). Take a look at my Berlin 2010 photo album (link in right-hand column) for views of the stunning place.
