In case you can’t go to Japan for the cherry blossom season, you can still enjoy the feeling in Berlin. On April 14th, the Gärten der Welt will open their doors for the annual Kirschblütenfest (cherry blossom festival).
Markthalle Neun is one of the most famous places in Berlin’s food scene, but in some ways its success is a mixed blessing.

This place rightfully belongs to Paris: French department store Galeries Lafayette is one of the few flagship branches outside their french home.
