Out and about in Berlin
Berlin has had a long and well-documented history, caught up in battle from the 17th century all the way up to WWII. Museums and monuments to its past pepper the streets of the city, none more outstanding than the Reichstag building, the former houses of parliament for Germany's government. Visitors on a city break to Berlin can explore inside the building, and take a lift up to the top for stunning panoramic views over Berlin. Berlin Cathedral is another must-see, built in a stunning mixed architectural style of Renaissance and Gothic, a truly spectacular view not to be missed during a city break to Berlin. The cathedral sits on Museum Island, a district on the Spree river which houses five of the most significant museums in the city – ideal for a day's exploring to discover the history of this fascinating city.
Green gardens and more in Berlin
Berlin is known for being one of the greenest cities in Europe, with around a third of the city being made up of parks, forests, lakes and gardens. The beautiful Berlin Botanischer Gardens boast an incredible 110 acres of gardens to explore on your Berlin city break, and the Great Pavilion, the largest greenhouse in the world. Parks around the city also offer a beautiful way to discover Berlin's past, such as Treptower Park's Soviet monument, or the Volkspark, the oldest park in the city, built over a Second World War bunker, with a memorial to Polish soldiers.
If you want to discover modern Berlin, a city break offers ample time to explore and see the main attractions. The city has a rich arts scene, and has even been named “City of Design” by UNESCO. Boutique stores dominate the lanes and shopping quarters of the main city, with everything from fashion to homeware, hand-crafted by Germany's finest designers. The Friedrichsstadtpassagen shopping complexes showcase more brand-name outlets, with striking designs and a beautiful area of the city to spend an afternoon.
Going out in Berlin
City breaks to Berlin are a perfect opportunity to discover traditional German cuisine, and splash out on food by some of the finest chefs in Europe. Dining out in Berlin remains inexpensive, and even a meal at the two-star Michelin restaurant Fischers Fritz is a treat that won't break the budget.

Berlin's nightlife is world-renowned, with an enormous and eclectic club scene and thriving fashion culture, bringing the city alive every night of the week.
