๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ Brandenburg Walk Tour

Brandenburg is a quiet, conservative city about 70 km from Berlin. Compared to Berlinโ€™s fast-paced, international vibe, locals here live closer to nature and prefer a slower rhythm of life. However, tourism isnโ€™t a major focus โ€” most people here donโ€™t speak English, which makes the city feel more authentically local.


๐Ÿจ Hotel

There arenโ€™t many hotels in the city. The one I stayed in is just across the street from the university campus. It offers a student discount โ€” โ‚ฌ55 per night, including breakfast. ๐Ÿฅโ˜•

๐ŸŽ“ Campus

The Technische Hochschule Brandenburg (THB) campus is larger than Tallinn Universityโ€™s.

I also found the English translation on the toilet sign quite amusing โ€” somehow polite and impolite at the same time. ๐Ÿ˜…

Hereโ€™s the meal from the school canteen โ€” โ‚ฌ6.5, cash only. ๐Ÿ’ถ
The food is decent, very typical of German campus meals.

๐Ÿฐ Old Town

Brandenburg has two historical centers:

  • The Old Town, built around the 15th century
  • The New Town, from the 17th century

The city wall has long been torn down, leaving only the gate tower standing as a reminder of the past.

The Old Town is full of beautiful brick architecture, giving the whole area a warm, timeless feel.

๐ŸŒ‰ New Town

Cross the lake and youโ€™ll find yourself in the New Town โ€” more modern, yet still peaceful and charming.

๐Ÿ” Food & Drinks

In the evening, we went to the Heartbeat Bar for burgers. It was my first time seeing schnitzel โ€” a fried pork cutlet thatโ€™s super crispy and delicious.

Even the beer bottles here are interesting โ€” they have special flip-top caps. ๐Ÿบ The content on the beer bottle, money can not buy happiness, so drink.

Brandenburg might not be the most tourist-friendly place, but its quiet charm, lakeside views, and authentic atmosphere make it a memorable stop on my journey through Germany. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช
