Pack your stamina! transport. JEAN-PIERRE LESCOURRET/GETTY IM AGES © Why I Love Berlin By Andrea Schulte-Peevers, Writer 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 sky bars and chic restau- rants, but I love its gritty sides more. There’s nothing static about Berlin: it’s unpredict- able, unpretentious and irresistible. And it loves you back – if you let it in.
