Berlin is a city open to people, to music, to the new and the old, to the noise and the quiet, both inside and outside. There is no need to decide on Berlin, Berlin is simply there. And always will be. Something is always happening. Every day of the year there are events, stellar attractions, entertainment, and culture. Berlin is open 365/24: exciting 365 days a year, with a 24-hour schedule.
The museum scene has an impressive variety. Three opera houses satisfy any desire for high culture, while the countless clubs offer a genuine spirit of subculture. At two in the afternoon, the Berghain is still overflowing, and you can have a curry sausage in a snack bar at five in the morning. In this city, you'll find more of the world concentrated per square metre than anywhere else.
To book a trip to Berlin, do you first have to look at the city's calendar of events? No need, there is always something to suit everyone! There is no need to plan your trip to Berlin: the city sets the agenda. In Berlin, the past is as present as the work that creates tomorrow. Artistic weeks, fashion weeks, theatre weeks, musical weeks... the city is full of new ideas, creativity, and inspiration. What does not yet exist today will be a thing of the distant past tomorrow. Berlin has something for everyone.
