BERLIN FINDS: Festival of Lights

October 24, 2013

Just want to share with you a photoblog of the monuments we saw lit up in Berlin’s Festival of Lights 2013. It really is a great way for Berlin to welcome the cold season – it made Berliners and tourist alike bundle up and enjoy evenings outdoors. Photos (and videos!) I took after the jump! Enjoy.

We went the the Museum Island, Potsdamer Platz and Brandenburg Tor. We didn’t get to go out on the days that it rained though so we didn’t get to see as many as we liked.

BERLIN DOM – MUSEUM ISLAND

What a gorgeous view from the rooftop restaurant of the Humbolt Box. We were lucky because the Diplomatischer Stammtisch organized a viewing party with wine and delicious canapés. It was a lovely way to enjoy the lights of the Berlin Dom. Will do a separate post on the Diplomatischer Stammtisch soon.

The most famous of all Berlin monuments was impressive indeed.berlin festival of lights brandenburg tor-001

The Adlon Hotel in front of Brandenburg Tor also had their facade lit up every few minutes.berlin festival of lights brandenburg tor-009berlin festival of lights brandenburg tor-008

There were many people in front of the Tor and I’m glad we made it there on the last night even if I was feeling sick. I just had to see it and it was worth the effort!

POTSDAMER PLATZ

On the last night we also went to Potsdamer Platz. I loved it because they projected lights on the pavement and people could take their pictures with the light projection. I had to have my photo taken with Andy Warhol’s portrait of Ingrid Bergman. Berlin Festival of Lights Potsdamer Plats Berlin Festival of Lights Potsdamer Plats-001 berlin festival of lights potsdamer platz

On our way to the clubs we saw these amazing light benches.
