Berlin is the glittering metropolis, the city with many faces, which polarises like no other German city. But Berlin is not only Germany’s capital city but also the capital of all parties and party-goers. In each of the 12 districts of the city, you can find great bars and clubs, and discover exciting nightclubs and quaint pubs. Nightlife rages in Kreuzberg, with Prenzlauer Berg, Friedrichshain, and Spandau in the middle. After the reunification of the two German states, Berlin became, practically overnight, the destination for those who like to party and celebrate, because it is colourful and has something on offer for everyone.

What distinguishes Berlin is its tremendous diversity in all respects and especially with regard to the celebrations. Gays will feel in Berlin as well as the participants of a youth or there. The capital is ideal for single trips and also for those who want to make an interesting city break: stroll between the area and Kudamm, do a pub crawl along Friedrichstrasse, or visit the flashy clubs in Kreuzberg. Berlin has no curfew and is open around the clock.
Berlin was first mentioned in the 13th century, and from the small village on the river Spree, it became a city that was the residence for emperors and Kings in the course of the next centuries. Berlin, the capital of Brandenburg, Prussia, the German Democratic Republic, and, since 1990, the Federal Republic of Germany again. Berlin was always at the Centre, both economically and politically and especially in culturally.

The wild 1920s made Berlin a party city that celebrated the Berliners have always been happy. Today, Berlin has 3.5 million inhabitants, and every year, countless people in the city on the river Spree come to have fun and to see the sights. The Brandenburg Gate is, as also the victory column a must, if you visited Berlin, the Museum Island and also the Kurfürstendamm with its fashionable shops, world-class restaurants and oblique bars, Cafés and clubs should not be missed. The Zoo, you should not miss, and also not the Alexander Platz and the Sony Centre. Whether for a final ride or to enquire about, Berlin is worth a visit.

Berlin knows no age limits because people from 19 to 99 feel at home in the city. The German capital has become a popular meeting place for European youth, and older people appreciate comfortable bus trips and then go under Linden in a dance Café, or the “ball upside down” on the Kurfürstendamm. Berlin also arrives, which is due to the very wide range of accommodation options. Everything is represented by the five-star luxury hotel on the Pariser Platz, from the modern city hotel offering rooms at a good price to the hostel. Hardly any other German city has such a wide range of youth hostels as Berlin, and you can stay well and cost-effectively in every district of the city. Berlin is a very special experience for all seasons.
