Nestled on the banks of the River Spree, Germany's capital city of Berlin is a mix of the old and the new and one of the EU's most vibrant, exciting cities, with countless museums, galleries, shops, restaurants, clubs and parks to explore. While much of the city has been rebuilt or restored, countless examples of its classic architecture remain, often side-by-side with the modern buildings which showcase its bright future.

Some of the city's top attractions include Reichstag (the German Parliament Building), Brandenburg Gate, the Siegessäule (Victory Column) and the Berliner Fernsehturm (Berlin TV Tower), the tallest structure in the city, boasting a revolving restaurant. Take a stroll down Kurfurstendamm (also known as Ku'damm), the most popular street for shopping in Berlin. For a break from the bustle of the city, try a stroll through the Tiergarten, Berlin's central park which covers more than 630 acres.
