Berlin

From fascinating remnants of German history to an urban artistic flair and a world-famous nightlife scene, there is so much to see and do during a holiday to Berlin. With a short flight time from the UK, this is a top spot for a city break with plenty of cultural experiences.

Take a step back in time and explore relics of Germany's past from before and after WWII. See for yourself the infamous historic landmark of the Berlin Wall as you stroll through the city, and head into the centre to see the Brandenburg Gate, the Checkpoint Charlie Museum, The Reichstag Building and the city’s UNESCO-listed Museum Island, with plenty of places to stop for a spot of lunch in between.

Berlin is known for its creative talent. Artists from across the world have painted the city in its now iconic street art, with murals across the city. Be sure to visit the East Side Gallery in East Berlin to see the most famous pieces. Now an open-air art gallery, remnants of the Berlin Wall are coated in vibrant art and graffiti tags.

If you're looking for a livelier city break, Berlin is known for its famous club scene. With many districts home to exclusive, trendy and all-night techno clubs, you’ll find plenty of places to experience the city's nightlife.

If you’re travelling to Berlin at Christmas time, you can experience some of the most famous Christmas markets in the world. However, all year round there are festivals hosted by the city, including Berlin Art Week, Jazzfest Berlin, Festival of Lights and Berlinale International Film Festival.
