BERLIN

About Berlin

The German capital offers the best national and international travel connections, numerous modern hotels, and some truly special venues. In addition, the city offers great value for money. In fact, the city is Germany’s biggest and most popular meeting destination. Berlin’s mayor calls the city “poor but sexy”. This description is reflected in every way by low hotel prices which are contrasted by an enormously rich cultural program. Berlin is far more than just a meeting place for leading people from science, business, and politics. The German capital ranks as one of the most visited metropolises in Europe. Located at the heart of Europe it represents a connection between East and West.

Berlin offers its visitors a uniquely varied cultural program, one-of-a-kind historical landmarks and all sorts of entertainment. The city has a long tradition as a theatre metropolis and is justly proud that it can present such a diverse range of productions today. It is as well a city of museums. Germany’s largest cultural investment project, the Berlin Museum Island, was completed in 2010. The five museums on Museum Island were added to the World Cultural Heritage List. From a quick snack to dinner at a gourmet restaurant, international cuisine, theme restaurants, beer gardens, and regional cooking – Berlin’s 7,000 restaurants and eateries cater to every taste, any occasion, any time of the day or night. Berlin’s nightlife is fast-paced and has something for everyone.
