It doesn’t matter if you just moved here, full of excitement and euphoria, or you’ve slowed down a little bit. It is a fact that Berlin is one of the most awesome and exciting places in the world, it offers something for every taste, it is loud, tough, sparkling and grey all at the same time.

Stil in Berlin
I’m totally fascinated by this blog and I’ll tell you why: Every year Stil in Berlin starts a competition about… bread! Bakeries are invited to send their best bread, so the Blogger can make a huge taste tasting (umm… where can I apply?). But that isn’t all: These kinds of contests are not limited to just bread, but range from coffee shops and bars to restaurants. Let’s take a look at the Best Of category – definitely the creme de la creme of Berlin!
But there is a lot more to discover than just bread (again… can I apply?!). You’ll find a huge smorgasbord of the the hottest locations in Berlin. Do you want to know where to find the coolest flea markets? and want to pimp your closet out with some fresh vintage items? or maybe after all that shopping you’re feeling hungry, Stil in Berlin will help you find the most delicious food and drinks in the city.
Sounds like you could plan your city trip to the fullest with Stil in Berlin hm?! For all of you who are feeling a little bit lost (like any of us in a new city) I recommend the map tool. Take a look on the map and find Going-out spots, art, culture and wellbeing.
So how about this: stroll over to a flea market, browse through some vintage stores in Mitte and end the day with a super-duper delicious snack, of course recommended by Stil in Berlin. Sounds amazing, right?!

Awesome Berlin
Am I allowed to introduce Berlin’s biggest fan? Here we go: Awesome Berlin! If somebody from Awesome Berlin thinks something is totally awesome they will write about it. What does that mean? Everything you’re reading is from personal experiences and recommendations.
Totally useful: the division in different districts. If you’re interest in a special part of town you can search all locations and activities in that area separately. You’ll need it when you just moved into a new neighbourhood, or just arrived at your hostel. Discover your neighbourhood.
In my opinion I really like the guide for all newbies who are just in Berlin for 2 or 3 days. Awesome Berlin didn’t choose the hidden areas and crazy places in Xberg or Neukölln. They wrote about the sights and Must-Sees in Berlin like Unter den Linden or the Brandenburger Tor. So they made it easy for you to plan an efficient tour through the capital city.
By the way: if you haven’t found a place to stay during your trip Awesome Berlin can help with some Finding Berlin – of course always with style!
