Flights to Berlin

Checkpoint Charlie is one of the most important check points that has connected the two sides of Berlin and provided passage to the east and west sides. During the Second World War many have tried to cross the border illegally. The checkpoint was destroyed in 1990 - there is essentially nothing left of the original. However, at the same point a replica of the control barracks with a crossing barrier, flag and sandbags was created in 2000. In the museum right next to the point you have the opportunity to read different stories from those times.

Home to over 175 museums, the city has a deep-rooted history, rich culture and science. There are 5 museums on the Museum Island on the Spee River. The Museum Island illustrating works of the 19th century, represents the cultural heart of the capital. The Jewish or the "Körperwelten'' museum, where real human bodies are exhibited, is among the usually preferred attractions.

One of the most well-known and interesting places in Berlin is the 45km long Berlin Wall, which was established in 1961 after the Second World War, and divided East and West Germany for 28 years. The wall was demolished in 1989 and has traces, ruins and monuments such as the East side Gallery all over the city, making it a major place of interest for all visitors. The East Side Gallery is the longest kept remnant of the Berlin Wall. In 1990, more than 100 artists from more than 20 different countries painted the wall with artworks and turned it into a unique piece of art. Those who like walking can follow the wall’s route to explore the surroundings or spend a pleasant time around the spee river.

If you plan to travel to Berlin in spring or summer, you should definitely add the Tiergarten to your time schedule. Located in the city center, right next to some of the more popular attractions like the Brandenburg Gate and Potsdamer Platz, Tiergarten is known as the green heart and largest area of Berlin. It is one of Germany's three largest parks with an area of 210 hectares. After a busy Berlin tour, you can relax on the greenery, take a leisurely walk, visit the English Garden or ride a boat in the 'new lake' called Neuer See.

The Britzer garden was built for a garden show in 1985 and is today one of the most interesting recreation areas in Berlin. A large lake sits in the middle of the park, for those of you who like the water there is the chance to sail around the lake on remotely controlled small boats giving your view a new perspective. Visitors who want to relax a bit, should spend time in the peaceful cafes and colorful areas around the park.
