Berlin, Germany Travel Guide

History, nightlife and currywurst

Why visit Berlin

A capital that wears its history openly: the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag’s glass dome and the East Side Gallery’s painted mile of the Wall. Berlin’s nightlife is legendary — techno clubs in former power plants, beer gardens by the Spree — and Museum Island holds five world-class museums in one walkable cluster. It is also one of Europe’s best-value capitals, with dinners and U-Bahn rides cheaper than Paris or London.
