DK Travel : 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.

Loretta am Wannsee

This restaurant, a favourite with day trippers to Wannsee, attracts visitors with its giant beer garden, shaded by chestnut trees. It always has a great atmosphere.
Lortzing-Denkmal

There are 70 statues of philosophers, poets and statesmen in Tiergarten. The statue of the composer Lortzing, at one end of Neuer See, is one of the most beautiful.
Louisa's Place

This 5-star hotel is located on the famous Kurfürstendamm boulevard, just one underground stop from the popular shopping area and with easy access to all parts of the capital. Opposite the hotel is a fantastic cafe restaurant offering coffee and amazing cakes to fuel the day's sightseeing.

Our room was beautifully furnished, had a small but very useful kitchen area. The hotel itself is a wonderfully restored Berlin mansion. The hotel is equipped with modern amenities and our room came with free wired internet access.

Louisa's Place’s location enables quick and easy travel within Berlin. Numerous attractions, such as the Gedächtniskirche (memorial church) and the zoo, are within walking distance. Just 1-minute’s walk away from the hotel is the Adenauerplatz U-Bahn (underground) station giving easy access to the rest of this beautiful and under rated city.
Love Parade

Although it has lost some of its original fun, the largest techno-party in the world still attracts a crowd of nearly one million visitors every year to ear-shattering beats in Tiergarten.
Löwenbrücke

The Lion Bridge, which leads across a small stream near Neuer See, is “suspended” from the sculptures of four lions. This idyllic spot is a favourite meeting point for gays in Berlin.
Lubitsch

A small, elegant restaurant, serving German and Italian “fusion” food.
Ludwig-Erhard-Haus

The seat of the Berlin Stock Exchange, Ludwig-Erhard-Haus was designed by the British architect Nicholas Grimshaw in 1994–8. Locals call it the “armadillo”, because the 15 giant metal arches of the domed building recall the giant animal’s armour.
Luise

One of Berlin’s nicest beer gardens, on the Free University campus, Luise’s is crowded even at lunchtime and always boasts a good atmosphere. The delicious salads and sandwiches here are particularly worth trying.
Luisenplatz

This small square with its plain, restored buildings gives a good impression of Potsdam in the early 19th century.
Lutter & Wegner

Try this Austrian restaurant for the tastiest Wiener Schnitzel and potato salad in Berlin.
