Berlin

Berlin is an amazing city, and I did not think I would like it so much. There is everything you need - culture, festivals, gardens, historical monuments, museums ... it is a very nice city. It is 8 times the size of Paris, so you have to be prepared to walk a lot. The center is organized around the Mitte district and the Museum Island (most of the museums are concentrated there, it needs at least a day if you like art). Then there is a notable difference between what was West Berlin and East Berlin. You can see it at various points. I recommend you spend a couple of hours also at the museum of the Wall.

Another city we visited was Berlin - beautiful, cosmopolitan and alternative so it's one of my favorite cities. Even as the Germans say, Berlin is not Germany!

A stunning contrast between the socialist mural of Max Lingner, on the facade of the former Reich Ministry of Aviation (the current Federal Ministry of Finance) and the same sized mural in the center of the square facing this building which reflects the images of a demonstration in which the security forces killed hundreds. Note: in this building the intervention of the bombing of Guernica by the German army was forged on a trial basis.

A place to unwind from the city. The old airport is now a place for rest and leisure, with urban gardens and people flying kites. In what was formerly the Terminal, there are cultural events related to fashion or, for example, startup business. Metro: Tempelhof, Platz der Luftbrücke.

The Berlin Welcome Card becomes almost obligatory when visiting the beautiful German capital. There are many alternatives when buying it, depending on the duration of your stay and the places you want to visit. We were in town for 7 nights, so we chose the duration of 72 hours. Best and indispensable (and included on the card) ... a visit the Museum Island. AMAZING.

I highly recommend this hotel for both business and leisure travellers. It is well located in the center of Ku'damn. Rooms are spacious, clean and quiet. The service is friendly and the prices are good. It has free WIFI in the hotel reception. The hotel is well served by both Metro and several bus lines, including Tegel Airport.

And it is not typical Germany. It is poor but sexy and charming and huggy as a big bear.
