Picster’s Berlin Essentials: Standard offers a distinctive opportunity to document your time here through a tailored professional photoshoot, guided by an insider who knows the city beyond the usual tourist lens. The tour moves through legendary landmarks like the Reichstag with its striking glass dome, the neoclassical Brandenburg Gate, and lesser-known corners that photographers dream about.
