Berlin is a city with an interesting history; it is well worth a visit either for a short break or for a longer holiday. Flights to Berlin are easily booked online or through a travel agent. Cheap flights to Berlin can be found via a quick search of the internet. Online bookings often have added discounts, which can make an already cheap flight even kinder to the wallet.
Of all the things to do in Berlin, some are very touristy and some are slightly off the beaten track. When you do visit the city there are several sites that are not to be missed. The Berlin Wall was famously demolished in 1990, a symbol of the end of the Cold War. The wall itself separated East from West Berlin, the East side being under communist control. A small portion of the wall still exists and there are various segments that have been restored for historical purposes. There is now a museum where the infamous Checkpoint Charlie once stood.
Panoramic views of the city can be found in several places, including Panoramapunkt in Potsdamer Platz where Europe’s fastest elevator will whisk you to the viewing platform above. Cross Hill in Victoriapark will also reveal the city sights and the architecture of both East and West Berlin, and is worth a leisurely stroll.
Make time for coffee and cake at one of Berlin’s many cafes, as this is one of the best-loved traditions in the city. Fresh pastries can be enjoyed on terraces and at street tables that allow you to watch the world go by in a lovely relaxing environment.
