City breaks in Berlin
Berlin city breaks show a city that has left the Communist era far behind. Apart from a few relics to the East, almost nothing remains of the Berlin Wall era of the movies.
Today, people can take city breaks here to enjoy museums, art galleries and concerts; dine in swish modern restaurants or enjoy the designer shopping outlets of Friedrichstrasse – just one of Berlin’s many shopping districts.
Berlin is becoming increasingly popular with those looking for low-priced city breaks with plenty to do. We at Future Travel can offer Berlin city breaks in a variety of locations across the city.
Things to see on Berlin city breaks
Berlin city breaks offer you the vibrant modern shops and restaurants of the city centre, or the museums and art galleries of the Museuminsel – an island on the River Spree and Berlin’s cultural heart. Berlin has museums and art galleries galore, and a city break near the Museuminsel puts you in the midst of them all.
A city break in Berlin isn’t complete without a peek at the Reichstag. Even more impressive is the Berlin TV Tower, an impressive 368m landmark with a chic revolving café that offers superb views of the city.
The Tiergarten
A Berlin city break is great value for families, as well as those wanting some peace and relaxation. Stay near the Tiergarten Park, and you can enjoy picturesque gardens, tree shaded secluded walks, lakes and canals, and great views from the top of the 19th century Victory Column.
Berlin, of course, is famous for its beer festivals, and at weekends, both Berliners and UK visitors alike flock to the bierkellers. Families, however, take Berlin city breaks to explore the famous Berlin zoo – a city gem that needs a holiday to itself.
Cultural city breaks in Berlin
The Tiergarten is also home to the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, where the famous Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra is based. The most prestigious arts venue in the city, it hosts classical concerts throughout the year.
However, Berlin throbs to the sound of music from every genre, and at Future Travel we offer city breaks that include concerts at the Arena, Berlin’s largest live venue and the place to see big name acts like Avril Lavigne and Joss Stone.
Other venues include Kulturbrauerei and Tränenpalast – a converted checkpoint. In the bars and clubs you can hear jazz and cabaret acts every day of the year.
A city break in Berlin has something for everyone – why not let us at Future Travel take you there?
