Picture This: Berlin

Berlin is quite the place to visit. What stood out to me is its unique mix of old and new. From its modern skyscrapers to the relics of generations past, the old vs. new mix certainly made the city stand out to me. This week, in Picture This, a semi-regular series on The Keith King Report, is a picture blog of Berlin. If you're interested in more on this series, you can find the others in the series here.

This was one of the many amazing art installments at the Grand Hyatt Berlin. They actually offer tours at the hotel because of the art.

The infamous Brandenburg Gate.

This is the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (the Holocaust). Made up of 2,711 concrete slabs on a sloping plot of land. You can walk in between them to take it in. Very sobering, to say the least.

If you look up while walking through the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, this is similar to the view that you'll see.

Remnants of the Berlin Wall. The parallel lines that the pieces of the wall are sitting on is where the wall actually stood when it divided West and East Berlin.

Traveling by train through Europe is an extremely popular (and easy) way to get around.
