Berlin
Last Updated: 6th Jun 2012
by – Matt Vernick, Tour Manager, Europe
The capital city of Germany delivers a swirling mix of art, history and culture sewn together into a young, exciting and vibrant city that is still sprouting from its ancient roots. In spite of all its history and status, Berlin has a feel of a city that is still searching for its true identity.
The city is a major draw card not only for people from outside of Europe, but also young Germans who converge on the city for its liberal feel and outstanding nightlife. Culture vultures simply cannot get enough of their time here as they walk amongst the streets, buildings and monuments that have borne witness and pay tribute to a tumultuous past whose events and repercussions molded almost the entire 20th century. Shop-a-holics also will not be denied as the range of shops and departments stores in the city is off the wall.

In the summer check out some of the great bars that open along the banks of the River Spree. They often out down sand and call themselves ‘Strand Bar’ – beach bars!

Make sure you try currywurst in Germany. It's basically a hot dog with tomato sauce (ketchup) and curry powder. Tastes brilliant and only costs 1 or 2 Euro.
Winter is an excellent time to go to Europe. There are next to no lines for the museums, you can experience the cities like the locals do and everything is cheaper! Plus, Christmas and New Year's Eve in Europe are very special.
One of the most amazing places in the world! Best thing to do - GET LOST!
