After spending the morning strolling along the history rich streets of the former East Berlin and visiting the Berlin Wall, my husband and I insisted on making one more stop before our flight to Dusseldorf with airberlin.

Right next to the gate, lies the humongous Tiergarten park, one of our all time favorite spots in Berlin for being a green lung in an otherwise grey city. We only had a short time to enjoy it, but it surely was a rewarding experience. Tiergarten was incredibly romantic in the cold November air and quite pretty too, still dressed up in fall foliage.
