Berlin city breaks
Berlin is the buzzing capital of Germany. With sensational street food and contemporary art galleries, this is one city with its finger on the pulse. Grand palaces and iconic landmarks look to the dramatic past, yet it’s a modern metropolis too, as it reveals its cultural districts, dance clubs and stylish shopping streets.
A piece of Berlin
Divided between 1961 and 1989, Berlin was very different, with its divided East and West sides. But the city now openly remembers its past, with graffitied sections of the Berlin Wall still on show. Most souvenir shops sell postcards with small chunks of the Berlin Wall encased, so buy one for a unique memento.
Hit the shops
Berlin is sprinkled with boutique shops, charismatic bars and various top eateries. Not only can you choose clothes from your favourite high street brands, you can also pick up souvenirs, traipse around for hours and end up in one of the buzzing, contemporary watering holes.
Step into history
The German capital is an epic source of the country’s culture and history, with iconic architecture that’s instantly recognisable against the skyline. Uncover the secrets of a time gone by at one of the many museums, or discover the sights that are synonymous with the story of Berlin’s past.
