๐ถโโ๏ธ Brandenburg Walk Tour
Brandenburg is a quiet, conservative city about 70 km from Berlin. Compared to Berlinโs fast-paced, international vibe, locals here live closer to nature and prefer a slower rhythm of life. However, tourism isnโt a major focus โ most people here donโt speak English, which makes the city feel more authentically local.
๐จ Hotel
There arenโt 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 โฌ55 per night, including breakfast. ๐ฅโ

๐ Campus
The Technische Hochschule Brandenburg (THB) campus is larger than Tallinn Universityโs.

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

Hereโs the meal from the school canteen โ โฌ6.5, cash only. ๐ถ
The food is decent, very typical of German campus meals.



๐ฐ 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.

๐ New Town
Cross the lake and youโll find yourself in the New Town โ more modern, yet still peaceful and charming.

The lake view is absolutely stunning โ it feels like stepping into a painting. ๐จ๐

๐ 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 thatโs super crispy and delicious.

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

Later, I dropped by Rewe and Rossmann to grab some supplements, cola beer, and the famous German-colored Fanta. ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฅค, Surprisingly, the payment supports Alipay and wechat pay.

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. ๐ฟ๐ฉ๐ช
