Berlin Vacation Guide

Berlin is the capital of Germany, and is the largest city by population. It has an international reputation for being an extremely tolerant and liberal hub of modernity, with a wide variety of museums, architecture, and sights like the Berlin Wall. The city has rapidly overcome its reputation since the Wall was torn town at the end of the Cold War, and now it is known as an international hotspot for party animals and fashion shows. And while it's relatively young by European standards, only dating back to the 13th century, it has garnished the reputation all of its own over the years.

Since it is in Germany, speaking German is preferred. However, French and English are also widely understood, so getting around will be too much of an issue if you happen to be traveling from the Western parts of the world. Almost everyone under the age of 40 will be able to understand you and can converse with you fluently.

Germany is well known for its engineering, and you can see its history laid out in front of you with the various museums that are packed throughout the city. There are literally dozens to choose from, depending on what you want to explore. There are also quite a few churches and private art galleries as well. There are also theaters, operas, cinemas, nightclubs, restaurants, and plenty of excitement. There are three major universities, and the Olympic Stadium hosting soccer games, which absolutely shouldn't be missed if you happen to be someone who's never been to a European football match. However, outside of the museums and history the most popular thing to do in Berlin is visit one of the various nightclubs, because the city has a reputation as being one of the most progressive clubbing cities in Europe. Between the food, the clubs, the museums, the architecture, the beer, and the atmosphere, it’s easy to see why this is one of the most popular destinations in Europe.
