Back at my favorite café to sit and work in (yes it's Sunday evening, yes I agreed to work a weekend yet again, hush...) and behind me is a group of cheerful older women who sound British and are clearly here on holiday.
When the waitress came over to bring their order, they asked if she could recommend anywhere they could go tomorrow on a day trip from Berlin. "Have you been to Potsdam?" the waitress asked. "It's really nice. It's pretty pretty... Like here, you get a bit of dirty pretty."
Which is so true, Potsdam (a much smaller city just outside Berlin) is a popular day trip because it's picturesque with a lot of palaces and gardens and such, whereas Berlin is more about edginess and graffiti and art (with a few palaces and gardens thrown in as well).
