City Breaks in Berlin - Get the Most From Your Weekend

City Breaks in Berlin - Get the Most From Your Weekend

by Steve Alexander

More than twenty years after the fall of the Berlin wall, the city has blossomed into a capital of cool, with museums, galleries, opera and fashion to rival any of its European sisters. Now it is one of the most popular city break destinations in Europe, popular for its eclectic blend of deep set twentieth century history, German traditions and buzzing nightlife.

An obvious element of British tourists travelling to Germany is the legacy of the first and second world wars, and a two night trip is plenty long enough for seeing this part of our own history from the other side. The Holocaust Memorial, for instance, is a must-see sight, and a sobering experience in a city that now flourishes.

So too, sights such as the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie and the last remnants of the Berlin wall turn the city into a history book, with landmarks and stories around every corner. Public transport in Berlin is fantastic, making it easy to hop between destinations, while it is also easy to whizz around by bicycle, taking in the city scenery as you go.

Once the sun has gone down, Berlin transforms into a city of lights, with locals and tourists gathering together in bars for evening beers. Berlin is one of the newest clubbing capitals of Europe, known for its huge warehouse parties that run long into the night and early hours - so totally perfect for a bit of a weekend party too.

Berlin has a range of places to stay nearby different parts of the city. Near to the KaDeWe department store, the five star Ellington Hotel, for example, is placed well for some shopping. Just a short walk from the Brandenburg Gate, which makes navigating very easy, is the Radisson Blu, which is set in the historical heart of the city, opposite Museum island and on the banks of the river Spree.
