Berlin travel

Information and tips

Old and new, modern and alternative, these contrasts best describe the German capital.

The moving history of the city has left its mark everywhere and is ever present during a Berlin weekend break. Thanks to the laid back attitude of the city, Berlin magically attracts artists from all over the world. Berlin provides inspiration and enough space for new creative ideas to be born.

The diversity of things to do in Berlin is enormous. Berlin is diverse: delving into history with a visit to the Berlin Wall, listening to classical music in the Berlin Philharmonic or going to the theatre in the Berlin Ensemble, a trip to the Museum Island, the Reichstag or the Brandenburg Gate – each year millions of visitors flock to the German capital for a weekend city break. Once there, many will already be planning their next trip.

Berlin is one of the most popular and frequently visited destinations in Europe for city breaks, and despite the increase in luxury and 5 star hotels in Berlin and upmarket fashion boutiques, it is still one of the cheapest cities in the world. Accommodation in Berlin is varied and caters to all tastes, including hostels in the trendier parts of town, the Eastern Comfort directly on the river Spree, or more upmarket hotels such as The Circus Hotel Berlin.
