Both the largest city in Germany and the country’s capital, Berlin is an excellent destination for holidaymakers who love the city lifestyle. Berlin is not only famous for its history, with its numerous museums, palaces, and other sites of cultural interest, but it is also famed as a music capital of the world – making it a top destination for those who enjoy a vibrant nightlife.
Mitte, once the heart of former East Berlin, is the historical centre of the city and is home to many cafes, restaurants, museums, galleries and clubs. Throughout the district there are plenty of sites of historic interest including Potsdamer Platz. This area was once divided in two by the Berlin Wall and has been newly developed since reunification in a modern style. The piazza under the spectacular dome of the Sony Centre has become a popular place for both Berliners and tourists to congregate and people watch. For shopping Kurfürstendamm is one of the main streets in Berlin and has many great shops, restaurants and hotels.
