After two brief encounters with Berlin 🇩🇪🤍

🎨Berlin is tangible—its architecture sharp-edged, with grid-like rows of square windows, as if carved by order. Austere, precise, it embodies the rational aesthetics of German design.❤️ Yet Berlin is also intangible, a city of contradictions. Its cultural expression is one of freedom and restraint, born from a history of rubble and ruins. Here, differences coexist—free but not loud, rebellious but not excessive, restrained but not silent. All of this makes Berlin feel more like a state of mind than a city.❤️ 🏛️Graffiti and stickers are its vital street language. Unlike Paris, London, or Barcelona, Berlin isn’t defined by famous writers or artists. Its character is shaped by the real people who live here.❤️ 🌞It welcomes you but doesn’t revolve around you. It unflinchingly lays its scars before your eyes, yet lets you see new life growing in the cracks. Berlin takes pride in its imperfections—whether in its past or its self-proclaimed freedom today. But this "imperfection" gives the city a raw power: it doesn’t hide, it just keeps moving forward.❤️ 💛"Du hast gelernt, was Freiheit heißt, und das vergiss nie mehr." ("You’ve learned what freedom means—never forget it.") #Berlin #Germany #BerlinTravel 🇩🇪✨
