Berlin is surely the most fascinating city in Germany and even competes with other European heavyweights like Paris and London. It is the political centre of Germany but also the cultural centre.

Those appreciative of the finer things in life will find much to see and admire in Berlin. There are plenty of museums to be visited, lots of historical attractions and some wonderful street festivals such as the Culture Carnival. One in seven of Berlins inhabitants are not German which leads to a great multicultural spread of things to do and see.

Berlin is also a great city for those travelling on a tight budget. There are lots of cheap places to stay, cheap places to eat and of course cheap car hire Berlin.

Berlin is great place to spend an afternoon discovering its various neighborhoods. Friedrichshain is an area well worth checking out as is Prenzlauerberg. Berlin is certainly not a small city so getting around can take some time unless if you have a hire car or a transport pass.

Another must see spot in Berlin is Riechstag. This is an incredible building and is the location of the German parliament. There are spectacular views of the city to be seen from the top of the building.

Of course no visit would be complete in Berlin without a visit to the Berlin wall. The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is also an important site to visit.
