In the morning of the second day of my journey to Berlin, I made a walk of about 12km, through the city of Hannover. I found it an interesting and very beautiful city. Sometimes it was pitiful for the pictures that it was grey, clouded, winter weather. But I enjoyed visiting this German city very…

This is a night walk, of about 4km, through the old parts of Hannover, Germany. I visited Hannover in December 2018, on my way to Berlin, where I was going to visit a friend for some days. Not exactly sure why I choose to visit this city on my way to Berlin and not knowing…

GERMANY / POLAND – Most people have heard of Frankfurt am Main, an international center of finance, industry and transport. But there is another Frankfurt, which, even though no one has heard of it, is even more international by virtue of it being in two countries. I’m talking about Frankfurt an der Oder, which is…

GERMANY – While on holiday in Berlin in December 2015, I borrowed my friends bike and started to explore the part of the former DDR (the former communist East Germany, for those of you who don’t know) just outside the city, starting in Brandenburg an der Havel. It was an interesting experience, due to both…

GERMANY / THE NETHERLANDS – In the southern province of Limburg, on a narrow strip of land between the Meuse river and German border, lies the part of the Netherlands that somehow feels the least Dutch. I don’t know this region very well, and have gathered the photos of two of my rare visits to…
