Berlin

Berlin is Germany’s liveliest city and one of the most fascinating capitals in the world. You’ll find no other place where art and culture, museums and theatres, entertainment and nightlife are more diverse and exciting than on the banks of the Spree River. Once reunited, Berlin quickly developed into a cosmopolitan city, and today there is an air of energy and vibrancy about it.

  • The museum at the former Allied checkpoint documents events at the Berlin Wall (see Kreuzberg & Schöneberg) .

  • This tiny guesthouse with only four rooms is hidden in a romantic villa on the green Schlachtensee. If lakes aren’t your thing, you can chill out in the villa’s own gardens.

  • The Hebbel-Theater has attained cult status in Berlin, thanks to its modern and varied programme of concerts, dance and song. Top performers from around the world appear here.

  • The plain façade of this modern business hotel, centrally situated in a side street just off Ku’damm, belies the much more sophisticated interior – you’ll be greeted by modern art, cool minimalism, clever lighting and first-class service.

  • These lavishly restored yards, the most elegant in Berlin, attract visitors today with a restaurant and fashionable clothes shops.

  • The 13th-century hospital church is a beautiful example of Gothic brick architecture.

  • The German playwright Kleist and his companion Henriette Vogel committed suicide by shooting themselves in 1811; they are buried here together (near the S-Bahn overpass).

  • This hotel is the best choice if your business requires a longer stay in town. Close to Nikolaiviertel, the apartments are equipped with desks and kitchens; and staff are specially trained to cater for the needs of business travellers.

  • Ladies’ and gentlemen’s fashions made from the best materials, including Hellmann’s own collection and clothes from well-known designers.

  • All around this square, time seems to have stopped in 1925. The residential buildings are reminiscent of a social housing programme.
