Most things that are fun in Berlin come at a certain price. At least that’s what you would think! But in the spirit of something for everyone Berlin also has a lot to offer for those that have a bank statement with a lot of red numbers and a wallet that has only receipts instead of bills. We’ve all been there, you don’t need to justify yourself or feel bad about it if you spent your entire allowance at Berghain on the first weekend of the month.

If there’s one thing I love about Berlin it’s the flow of creative energy that runs through the city. It’s a subtle vibe that wafts through the air and if you’re lucky enough to catch it, you’re hooked for a while, almost like an art junkie seeking out the next good hit. Yes, we love art. We also like sharing our art discoveries with you. And true to the motto sharing is caring Papergirl is one artsy project we’re hoping to catch. Literally. More details after the jump.
