Berlin is one mental metropolis that you will never want to leave. Refusing to hide from its past and always striving towards a better future, the entirely unique history (the Wars, the Nazis, the Wall, the influx of immigrants and hippies, the rise of techno
and the rule of the creative industry) sets it so far apart from other European cities.
All it takes is one short walk and it feels like you are travelling in a time machine.

20 stunning european cities to visit by the falor companiesFalor Companies
From major metropolises to charming, overlooked locales, Europe is brimming with cities everyone should visit. But where does a penny-pinching, adventure-seeking twentysomething even begin when it comes to traveling Europe?
The big players — London, Paris, Amsterdam — are great as per the Falor Companies. Those should be on everyone’s bucket list. For millennials, these 20 cities offer delicious street food, hip hostels, cozy cafes and many glimpses into new cultures.
And there’s a bonus — these beautiful cities are even worth visiting if you’re not exactly in your 20s anymore by the Falor Companies.
“There’s Germany, and then there’s Berlin.”
This sentence couldn’t describe the city of Berlin better if it tried. The city of Berlin is famous for the Berlin Wall, but it is so much more than that.
Citytravelreview Curso
While the global image of London may be of red double-decker buses and royal guards in funny hats, there’s actually much more depth and diversity to the city once you dig a bit deeper.
Berlin is famed throughout Europe and beyond for its
nightlife, the unofficial home of European techno music,
expect dark smoke-filled rooms and dancing until the
not-so-early hours of the morning. Although, there are
a multitude of alternatives – like jazz nights and jam
sessions – if electronica is not your thing. For Berliners,
the night doesn’t really get going until after midnight.
Club queues are longest around 2 – 3am. Most places
have a dressed-down feel – no heels or figure hugging
dresses here. Don a pair of black jeans, a dark shirt and
a bored expression for the best chance of entry. Average
entry fee is around 10€, a reasonable price to pay for
the pleasure of exploring the buildings and listening
to the talent on the decks. Most of the bigger clubs will
stay open until past noon, and some, like Sisyphos and
Berghain, stay open all weekend, so a night out never
need come to a premature end.

Berlin is one mental metropolis that you
will never want to leave. Refusing to hide
from its past and always striving towards
a better future, the entirely unique history
(the Wars, the Nazis, the Wall, the influx of
immigrants and hippies, the rise of techno
and the rule of the creative industry) sets
it so far apart from other European cities.
All it takes is one short walk and it feels
like you are travelling in a time machine.
From Prussian palaces and derelict
warehouses, to fascist bunkers, communist
blocks and Post-modern skyscrapers; this
fast-paced city is full of paradox, with a
skyline that changes as fast its weather.
Homeofthedonerkebabandcurrywusrt,for
little money you can eat and drink like a king
and still have the cash to hit up a nightclub.
With over 170 museums, 600 galleries, three
opera houses, scores of theatres and plenty
of space to play in, it makes sense that every
young aspiring artist in the world is moving
here. This phenomenal cultural landscape
is setting trends like New York in the 80s.
It’s a rainbow mash-up of diverse
cultural elements, it’s wild and
vivacious, “poor but sexy”. Berlin is a
playground where “anything goes”.
Introduction.
Welcome to Berlin.
It may be 10 times the size of Paris, but
its key areas are pleasantly compact and
the excellent public transport system
makesiteasytogetfromAtoB.Theopen
space and multiple parks make it one of
the greenest cities in the world and you
can walk without fear during the night.
We have divided the city
into smaller, more digestible
areas to make your life easier.
Take a stroll through the tranquil
and elegant streets of CHARLOT-
TENBERG. Party hard in FRIED-
RICHSHAIN, or hang with the hipsters
in KREUZBERG. Sightsee in MITTE
and bar-hop in NEUKOLLN. Explore
the art scene in PRENZLAUERBERG or
shop till you drop in SCHÖNEBERG.
Each one of these neighbourhoods has
its own unique charm and atmosphere
and collectively they compose
the Berlin that we know and love.

Neighbourhoods.
Friedrichshain is a dynamic district of
Berlin that has been in vogue since the
fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Swarming
with hipsters and pleasure seekers
makingthemostofthelivelynightscene,
it has a contagious buzz that ensures
this corner of Berlin is never quiet.
Alluring open spaces can be found
on the periphery of Friedrichs-
hain, including the outdoor East
Side Gallery (the longest remaining
section of the Berlin Wall) as well as
the popular, BBQ-friendly Volkspark.
Well connected to Berlin’s
public transport network, take
the S-Bahn, U-Bahn or a tram to
Warschauer Straße, Ostkreuz,
Frankfurter Allee or Frankfurter Tor.
-Dom Walker-
Friedrichshain Kreuzberg
Occupied by the Americans
after WWII, Kreuzberg is now
very much about the present and
less about the past. Sixty years
ago, this district in southeast
Berlin was derelict and largely
in ruins. The rock bottom cost
of living resulted in a huge
influx of Turks, students and
artists, and since the area has
evolved to become Berlin’s
coolest district with the best kebabs.
Popular with a young, bohemian crowd,
the area is home to Oranianstraße that is lined
withcheapplacestostay,quirkycafes,andtrendy
bars to visit after dark. The influence held by local
artists is made clear by the abundance of street
art and graffiti that often coats entire buildings.
Visitorscantakeadvantageofthearea’sproximity
to the River Spree by visiting Badeschiff by day
(meaning ‘boat ship’, an outdoor swimming
pool that is moored in the river) and Club der
Visionaere by night. For those less hedonistic,
the Jewish Museum and the Freidrichs-
hain-Kreuzberg Museum are exceptionally
informative and easily accessible.
-Dom Walker-
The Western district of Charlot-
tenburg has a slightly less alter-
native feel than most other areas
of Berlin, and attracts a distinctly
older crowd. Schloss Charlotten-
burg is the district’s main draw
for tourists, with its opulent décor
and pleasant gardens that teem
with visitors on warm summer
afternoons. There are also many
museums nearby, in addition
to the well-known stadium that
hosted the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
The calm, leafy streets argu-
ably retain some of Berlin’s
pre-war grandeur and are
definitely worth a visit, even
if they lack some of the edgi-
ness found elsewhere in Berlin.
-Christina Powis-
Charlottenberg

Neighbourhoods.
Although undeniably wild, the party
central areas of Kreuzberg and Frie-
drichshain have started to become
too ‘on the map’ for those who want
to discover the hidden areas of
Berlin. Neukölln is one of those areas.
Previously a haven for the immigrants
of the city, this neighbourhood is
starting to spread its multicultural
wings and soar spectacularly to the top
of the hipster charts. Tree lined cobbled
pavements in cutesy, suburban-look-
ing streets camouflage undeniably
awesome secret places. Down hidden
lanes, Sudanese restaurants and shisha

transformed into the local chill-out
zone. By taking the S-Bahn to

Neukölln district Prenzlauer Berg
Located in the southern part of
the borough Pankow - Prenzlauer
Berg, or Prenzl’berg, is a tranquil
escape from its hustling, sight-filled,
tourist heavy neighbour, Mitte.
It luckily avoided much of the
bombing of WWII, so there are
plenty of picturesque churches and
lovely old townhouses to be seen.
Boulevards, boutiques and Berlin’s
oldest beer garden; it has come
a long way from its East German
days and working class routes.
It is now one of the most desirable
places to live for trendy young families.
HometoBerlin’sbiggestfleamarketatMauerpark,
an abundance of other parks, and several weekly
street markets like the organic food market in
the gorgeous Kollowitzplatz, it is the perfect
place to shop, stroll, café-hop and people watch.

Mitte
Mitte is the central district of
Berlin and houses most of the
important historical sites in the
city. Stretching from Alexander-
platz over Museum Island and
out to the Brandenburg Gate
while visiting Berlin it would be
more difficult not to go into Mitte
at some point. Mitte is far grander
than most of the other districts of
Berlin and the prices here reflect it.
Although it may not be the place to
stay for a low budget backpacker
its prettiness and grandeur
mean it really is an unmissable
sector of the German Capital.

royal residence until the 1950s
when it was demolished.

1961 – The Berlin Wall is con-
structed by the GDR, as rela-
tions are tense between the two
states. The space in between
