Discover Berlin
Few places are as universally popular as Berlin, and it's not difficult to understand why. The city has a very rich history whilst simultaneously containing the latest in art, fashion and architecture. The various parts of the city such as Tiergarten, Mitte, Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg all have their unique characters. Berlin succeeds in the feat of combining small town with city, historic with modern and hectic with meditative. Just open up your senses and embark on a journey of discovery.
Berlin is one of Europe's most fascinating cities. Its range of culture and sights is astonishing. If anything makes the city unique it's the fact that it defies classification - there's everything here. The chic luxury of the Kürfurstendamm stands in stark contrast with Kreuzberg's bohemian quarter. The futuristic Potzdamer Platz in glass and steel, a few stations from the former East Berlin centre Alexanderplatz. In Berlin you can drink cocktails at the top of a skyscraper or drink red wine in a jazz cellar. It's a city with something for everyone. Since the fall of the wall in 1989/90, Berlin has become a melting pot of innovation and futuristic thinking. Architects have been given the space to think new and large. Artists from all over the world come to imbibe the inspiring atmosphere. Forget the Berlin that only serves sausages and sauerkraut. Today you can find the best sushi next to world class Italian cuisine.
At the same time as the town breathes life and movement, Berliners have always found time for a ”Milchkaffee und ein Stück Kuchen” - coffee with milk and a slice of cake. Berlin feels welcoming in a way few other cities do.
