Those who want to get even more romantic in Berlin, could try the restaurant Ars Vini Berlin, which serves fantastic cheese fondue and an excellent selection of wines. If you have that special occasion, then just make a reservation and you will be delighted by the service, the meals and the atmosphere, not to mention the wines.

If the occasion deserves some champagne drinking, then may be it would be a good idea to check the Galeries Lafayette. There one could enjoy oysters and champagne, located on the last floor of the German Kaufhaus. Of course, the oysters are not cheap, but still if the occasion is worth it, you can give it a try.

For those who are looking for an intimate place to dine, there is Knofi restaurant. There are served some delicious meals from the Turkish cuisine and the atmosphere is quite romantic. The freshly baked bread is great and so is the chocolate pie. Another great restaurant is Onkel Ho, which is a small place serving Vietnamese food. The place is not expensive at all and the cocktails are great.

In case you have more time to pamper yourself, you can always go on a brunch at Oranium, which has some relaxed and lovely atmosphere. The place serves fresh small croissants and different breakfasts based on eggs, but also interesting yoghurt combinations too. Another modern place that deserves the focus of our attentions is the restaurant Cape Town, which is placed in the residential zone Prenzlauer Berg. The atmosphere there is idyllic and the interior is cozy. The meat served comes from crocodile, zebra, wildebeast, etc. The appetizers are great and so are the side dishes. The place is a little bit expensive though, but it is worth it.

The network of buses, trams, trolleybuses is extensive and well organized and all means of transport are on time. If the bus has a red number rather than black, this means that this is an express line with fewer stops.

Rome in winter

The city of Rome has always been among the most desired holiday destinations by the tourists. The Italian capital however, is usually visited during the spring and autumn, and even in the summer despite the fact that temperatures are too high at that period of the year. Rome is usually not visited in the period between November and March though it shouldn’t be so.

Rome is a great city to spend time at and in winter it could be even more pleasant to visit if you find accommodation in apartments in Rome. At that time, there are no crowds, no queues and no stress. At that period of the year hotels often offer discounts and special prices, the staff at the museums tends to be more attentive to our questions and the waiters at the restaurants seem to be more polite. Things get a little bit busier during the two weeks before Christmas, but even then travellers could find solitude when visiting galleries, museums and churches. A good place to stop by at that time would also be the Christmas market on Piazza Navona and buy a gift on sale or the outdoor skating rink Tiberside near Castel Sant’ Angelo and the Vatican City. If you happen to go to Rome for the New Year’s Eve, then expect a lot of fireworks, but stay inside around midnight. The view over the beautiful Rome from your window will definitely be priceless.

Once the noise of New Year’s Eve is behind, and January and February approach, then this is the best way to get a good flight and accommodation price and the most peaceful time to enjoy the city of Rome. The days get their sunshine even if still cold and walking around the parks, Ostia Antica and Villa Borghese could be just the perfect way to relax in the Eternal City. Another way to enjoy Rome in winter is by visiting the current exhibitions at the local galleries and museums. They are not ass good as the ones in Paris, but the accommodation should be cheaper that Paris apartments. Of course, having a lovely meal at one of the many romantic Italian restaurants is also a great way to spend a few hours in the cold winter day. The Roman specialties should be garnished with one or several glasses of good local wine. If you need just refreshment, then stay at one of the cozy cafes in Rome, and they are many, and order a cup of cappuccino and something sweet as tiramisu, for example.

The city of Rome has its beauty in all seasons, but if you want to feel closer to it, without the crowds of tourists, and get to feel the true atmosphere of this marvelous and ancient city, then a visit in winter will do that for you. Even if temperatures at that time tend to be around and below 10 degrees Celsius, with some warm clothes, a coat and comfortable shoes, one could conquer all the places of interest that need to be seen here and has the best time of one’s life.
