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.

Excerpt from the British Embassy in Berlin web site:
In 1991 the Bundestag voted to move the seat of Government from Bonn to Berlin. Following this historic decision, the British Government decided to return its embassyto its pre-War site on Wilhelmstraße, next door to the Hotel Adlon and close to the Brandenburg Gate.
In 1994/95 the Foreign and Commonwealth Office held a competition to choose an architect for the new building, which was won by Michael Wilford and Partners, London, a leading British firm with a strong presence in Germany. The new British Embassy has 6 floors and a total of 9000 sqm office space. Approximately 150 diplomats and local staff carry out the full range of Embassy functions including commercial, consular, political and press work. The new building was opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 18 July 2000. It was the first time that a British monarch attended the opening ceremony of a new diplomatic mission
An important feature of the new Embassy is the accessibility for members of the public. The public areas are used for various events, e.g. receptions, podium discussions, conferences, book launches, exhibitions and concerts. The architect's use of glass and light gives visitors an impression of the representational and day-to-day functions of the entire building. The design includes a courtyard and wintergarden, which allow daylight and afternoon sun into the heart of the building and give natural ventilation to all offices.
At the ground-breaking ceremony on 29 June 1998, Derek Fatchett MP, Minister of State in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office described the new Embassy as "...a building in the heart of Germany's new seat of Government that will serve its purpose both as a modern working environment and as a showcase for Britain." The foundation-stone-laying ceremony took place on 22 September 1998.

A true Berlin experience! This bar is a previous squat turned into cafe bar. Try the strawberry beer - it's definitely an aquired taste! The outside area is full of jugglers and entertainers and live bands. Beer is served from a caravan and latino singers often frequent the stage inside. Venture up to the top floor to see the art gallery. The entrance is free so well worth a visit if you're in the area!

You can't visit Berlin and not try the local cuisine! Currywurst is a true German experience - a delicious German bratwurst covered in curry powder and served with chips. And while you're at it why not try a traditional Turkish kebab. They actually originated from Berlin when the Turkish emmigrated to the city. There are plenty of kebab and currywurst outlets - Oranienberg Strasse is a hot spot!

Eastern Comfort Hostel has the prices and friendliness of a hostel, but is as nice as a hotel.
The hostel is located on a boat in the Spree River. It is next to the longest last standing part of the Berlin Wall and you actually have to walk through the wall to get there! There are lots of private rooms with bathrooms and most have a port-window view. Upstairs is a hip bar that is open to the public and is great to grab a snack and cocktails.
