Cheap Hotels in Berlin

As the capital and largest city in Germany, Berlin accentuates the future while honoring the past. Visitors to Berlin find that there is no specific city center so it is possible to find attractions in many different parts of town. To get a good overview, many guests start with a peaceful cruise along the River Spree which docks at various popular destinations like Museum Island and the restored Berlin Cathedral that dominates the city skyline.
The Potsdam Plaza has evolved from a no-man’s-land between East and West Berlin to become one of the busiest squares in Europe with ultra modern buildings like the Sony Center whose roof constantly changes colors. A new underground train station brings visitors right into the plaza which has been designed with beautiful green spaces surrounded by high-end shopping centers, charming restaurants and fascinating theaters including the domed CineStar IMAX Cinema. In walking distance is the majestic Brandenburg Gate surrounded by formal gardens.

In the south west section on the main street of Tiergarten is the historic Berlin Zoological Garden where over 1,400 species live in the middle of the city in sumptuous quarters.
