City break in Berlin

Your city break in Berlin: Book simply and securely on Berlin’s official tourism platform

Great travel deals for your visit to Berlin! Stroll down impressive boulevards once created by order of the Prussian kings and admire gems of neo-classical architecture by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Prussia’s leading nineteenth-century architect. Schinkel’s most famous works include the Neue Wache (New Guardhouse), today a war memorial, and the red-brick Friedrichswerder Church. His pupil Friedrich August Stüler later designed the Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery) on Museum Island, along with the Pergamon Museum and Neues Museum one of this UNESCO World Heritage Site’s main attractions.

But Berlin is far more than just historical Prussia! The cityscape also testifies to its Cold War legacy, above all in the traces of the Berlin Wall and in the iconic TV Tower, originally a prestige project and symbol of alleged communist supremacy. Today, the districts once on the former inner-city border are the heartlands of a new vibrant scene – with Friedrichshain, Prenzlauer Berg und Kreuzberg home to off-theatres and flea markets, hip cafés and innovative fusion restaurants inspired by flavours from around the world.
