Germany’s largest city, Berlin is home to over 3 million residents and is built on the banks of both the Havel and Spree Rivers. The cityscape is one that reflects Berlin’s extensive rebuilding throughout the 1950s and 1960s, with many high-rise buildings dominating proceedings including three of Germany’s tallest, the Fernsehturm being just one visual highlight. To soak up Berlin’s ambience and beautiful architecture, if you are staying outside of the city, hire a car from Brandenburg Airport and make a memorable drive into the city to see how the march of time has shaped Berlin into one of Europe’s most popular destinations.
Berlin has a whole host of legendary landmarks to explore. The bold and beautiful Brandenburg Gate, Germany’s parliamentary building, the grandly domed Reichstagsgebäude, and the glorious architecture in Gendarmenmarkt are just some of our sensational selections. Local cuisine has been a cultural institution in Berlin for over 70 years, with the Deutsches Currywurst Museum in Mitte dedicated to this firm favourite. Despite being landlocked you’ll find some luscious, large lakes which offer visitors a beach-like resort feel during the summer months. To cool off after visiting the city, hire a car from Brandenburg Airport and visit Müggelsee, Berlin’s largest lake, home to not only the water but wonderful woodland trails too.
