Lonely Planet writer Andrea Schulte-Peevers explains why she loves Berlin. "Berlin is a bon vivant, passionately feasting on the smorgasbord of life, never taking things - or itself - too seriously. To me, this city is nothing short of addictive. It embraces me, inspires me, accepts me and makes me feel good about myself, the world and other people. I enjoy its iconic sights, its vast swathes of green, its green, its sky bars and chic restaurants, but I love its gritty sides more. There's nothing static about Berlin: it's unpredictable, unpretentious and irresistible And it loves you back - if you let it in."
