Travel blog by Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) – Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) - Travel & Lifestyle Hipster Blog One of my favorite areas of Berlin is actually also one of the most touristic. Hackescher Markt is located only a short walk away from Berlin’s Alexanderplatz and is a popular place not just for tourists but also for locals. I think because of its central location and its huge selection of cool shops, cafés and decent restaurants (at every price level, too!), it’s a convenient place for just about everyone. This past week I went around Hackescher Markt with my friend Freddy ..read more

Travel blog by Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) – Travels of Adam (Hipster Blog) - Travel & Lifestyle Hipster Blog I always thought if there was one city in Germany that was for me, it’d be Hamburg. The city’s reputation as a creative & cultural hotbed was always something I’d known when studying graphic design. Hamburg has long been the publishing home for Germany’s creative class of advertisers and graphic designers but with all the hype surrounding that other city in Germany, Hamburg’s international status seems to be faded in comparison. So, with some travel tips from Germany.tr ..read more
