Berlin City Breaks

A short break holiday will allow you to experience the multiple facets of this important European city. Visiting in summer time will allow you to experience the city in its outdoor mode with young people enthusiastically enjoying the parks and many outdoor spaces that the city is famous for. Visits in the winter means sampling the treats on offer at the huge number of Christmas markets; an ideal way to enjoy the cakes and other desserts available. 

 

No trip to Berlin is complete without a visit to the infamous Checkpoint Charlie, the staging post on the Berlin Wall where many escapes were attempted. Here you can learn about the wall that divided the city for so many years and so learn a great deal about the recent history of the city. For a thrilling example of the past of the city take a trip to the Brandenburg Gate, the horses that astride its top are a sight to behold in the fading sunlight. Or, if you want some more modern respite visit the many boutique shops and bars in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district where young hippies, artists and restauranteurs have set up shop in the many warehouses and old industrial buildings of the city. Finally, visit the Reichstag with its clear domed roof for a great view over the city.
