Why the hype?

A couple of weeks ago, the whole team traveled to Berlin to attend RailsConfEurope and visit the city.

As an european capital I was expecting it to be crowded and kinda messy, yet I was really amazed by the city’s organization and people’s politeness. I loved Berlin and I’m going to go back there for sure, the next time flying from Porto without passing by Lisbon, if possible!

We stayed at the Helter Skelter Hostel (location, right next to the Friedrichstraße) and this is a really cool place to stay if you’re planning to visit Berlin: we tried the XXL apartment and everybody loved it.

RailsConf hasn’t met my expectations: I attended to some interesting talks but others had been a little too superficial. It was a nice place for networking with people working with Rails though.
