One of the city’s most atmospheric cinemas: @kinointimesberlin in Friedrichshain. Running since 1909 (!) its walls have become a legendary canvas for all kinds of street art while the cinematic programming favours indie and arthouse films. The bar is cosy and the staff are friendly too :)

Bernauer Straße subway station in 1990. Formerly closed due to the Berlin Wall, it was opened for inner-city traffic on April 12th of that year—but was only accessible from the West Berlin side.

When I was in Berlin back in October. Love this view.
A view down the broad city street in Berlin known as Karl Marx Allee. This was a Sunday morning so light traffic, a few bicycles visible. and tall buildings line the alley. In the distance the spike of the Berlin TV Tower rises over the centre of the alley.
