Built with very enticing baroque and rococo interior decoration. The palace was heavily damaged during the World War II but has been since reconstructed. Attached to the palace is a beautiful formal garden and surrounded woodland which adds all the more beauty to the palace and its neighbouring area. Plan to spend at least half a day when visiting this palace in order to discover it properly.

Ulm, the birth place of Albert Einstein, an economic centre and a beautiful city on the River Danube.

Considered an economic centre for all the HQs it holds for Ebner & Spiegel GmbH (book printing), Gardena AG (gardening tools), J. G. Anschütz (firearms for sports and hunting), Müller Ltd. & Co. KG (major German trade company), Ratiopharm (pharmaceuticals), Carl Walther GmbH (fire arms, especially pistols), Wieland-Werke AG (non-ferrous semi-finished products), Britax Roemer Kindersicherheit GmbH (Child safety products). Some more internationally recognisable companies with important plants there include Daimler: Daimler Forschungszentrum (research centre) and EvoBus (production of buses), EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company), Nokia (telecommunication, research centre), Siemens AG, Deutsche Telekom AG, Atmel, Intel, AEG, Iveco Magirus.

The photos taken here are mainly of the same places between Spring and Winter just to show a little contrast as snow covers this place.

It gives makes me feel at peace with myself and nature. The Botanical Garden in Berlin is definitely a must see for anyone who is into such gardens. It is considered to be one of the most important botanical gardens in the world, holding around 22,000 different plant species.

Unfortunately, at the time of visiting, I wasn’t able to explore it all as the outside was covered in snow. Maybe the next time around I will post an update to this.

That is the city’s motto. This city is the third largest in Germany and has a lot of culture, science and entertainment to offer. Munich hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics and is a candidate (true on date of posting this) to the 2018 Winter Olympics. The world famous Oktoberfest is hosted here as well.

Modern Munich is a financial and publishing hub, and a frequently top-ranked destination for migration and ex-patriate location in livability rankings.

One of the major attractions is the Soviet War Memorial dedicated to commemorate the 20,000 Soviet soldiers that lost their lives in the Battle of Berlin in Apr-May 1945. A lot of green space around the park which is very popular amongst Berliners and tourists alike.

It is best known for its historical associations as the German capital, for its internationality and tolerance, for its lively nightlife, for its many cafes, clubs, and bars, for its street art, and for its numerous museums, palaces, and other sites of historic interest. This album here is to show you Berlin on a December night. The liveliness in the city’s nightlife is just amazing :)
