Did you know that Germany has over 25,000 castles, fortresses, and ruins? Drachenburg Castle is located in Königswinter, in western Germany, and was built in record time within two years. Unfortunately, the castle itself was badly damaged in the last days of World War II and despite extensive restorations from 1995 to 2010, bullet holes can still be seen on the Rhine-side facade.

Berlin Food Guide
When travelling, I’m always into regional food and drinks; trying to find the best spots for an early morning coffee, a late brunch or a good dinner, and some nice drinks.
Most of the time, the terms local and national cuisine are synonymous. However, in Berlin, this is very much not the case. Traditional German food is certainly available in Berlin, but not as present as it is in Cologne, Dusseldorf or Munich. Many locals prefer to indulge in the plethora of international options. Sometimes you even wonder if you are still in Germany when wandering through Berlin, searching for a good food spot.
With that in mind, here are some of my favorite cool places to eat in Berlin for every meal of the day.
