🇩🇪 Germany-Switzerland Trip | A Family Day Out in Berlin

Today was another perfect citywalk day in Berlin with the whole family! Since traveling with kids and grandparents means no marathon walks, we kept it chill but iconic. Here’s how it went: 🕊️ Brandenburg Gate First stop after breakfast: Took the U-Bahn to this mini Arc de Triomphe. The details! Golden Victory Goddess atop bullet-scarred columns—history feels so real here. 🏛️ Reichstag (German Parliament) Booked for 11:30 AM (easy walk from the Gate). Glass dome = magic: Sunlight turned it into a crystal palace! Missed the dome walkway (timing oops), but the views from the terrace were still epic. ⛪ Berlin Cathedral That emerald dome under blue skies? Chef’s kiss. Climbed the stairs (worth the burn!) for 360° city breezes. ☭ Marx-Engels Forum Quiet square facing the cathedral. Statue vibes: Sunset turned Marx & Engels into golden philosophers. Flashback: Remembered my elementary school essay "The Great Friendship" 😂. 🍜 Lunch at Ming Dynastie By the Chinese Embassy—patriotic feels with that flag view! 🇨🇳 Hot & sour soup + boiled beef = comfort food win. 🍦 Ice Cream Break & Tiny Diplomat Turkish kid alert! A little social butterfly practiced English and Chinese with us. Travel moments >>> guidebooks. 💡 Pro Tips for Families Reichstag slots: Book online or try the white kiosk day-before lottery. Cathedral closed Mondays! Uber saves tired legs (grandparent-approved). #Berlin #GermanyTravel #SlowTravel #GenerationalTrip
