Berlin Holidays

Berlin.Germany's largest city and also the capital which has evolved into a cosmopolitan city on par with London and Paris.

It has rapidly become one the most popular destination for visitors. The tourists come for the culture: over 160 museums, theatres, art galleries and festivals make this a melting pot for some of Europes most cutting edge art and culture.

Berlin is also famed for it's lively nightlife. Where there once were ribald caberet shows there are now the coolest clubs in Europe. This modern city does not sit still for long:the best clubs pop up one day and disappear the next. Make friends with some of the fun loving locals and you will be partying all night in the coolest places.

There are also many historical sites and museums to visit; The Berlin Wall was constructed in 1961 to separate East Berlin and West Berlin and did so for 28 years until in 1989 the wall was torn down. Checkpoint Charlie is the infamous border crossing point at the Wall which stood as the only crossing point between East and West Berlin for nearly 30 years. It is now a museum where tourists can take photos under the sign and also visit the soldiers post.
