Berlin Reviews

My boyfriend and I went to Berlin in April after I bought him a weekend away there for his birthday. We flew from Glasgow to Berlin with Easyjet which cost £150 for return flights for both of us, which I thought was quite cheap. Once we got there, we stayed at Melia Berlin which cost about £300 for both us for 2 nights, which obviously isn't that ...  Read the complete review

In the heart of Germany we find to Berlin. This magic city that harbors culture, art, history, entertainment, shopping, good to eat and a nightlife, the type of place as many cities envy. In my opinion you would be so lost not to pass through the Door of Brandeburgono, basically, the symbol of the city. If you want to be somewhere ...  Read the complete review

Having visited Berlin twice on business during Winter months and being curious as to what exactly I had not seen whilst sat in meetings etc. I decided to visit during early July when the weather is a lot warmer without being to hot for sightseeing. To my delight I found that Berlin is a city to suit the majority of tastes. For the sightseer there ...  Read the complete review

I visited Berlin a year ago on a history trip with my school. My initial thoughts about going was "wooo, a week off school with my mates" but I was suprised by the amount of interesting locations and sites within the city. I would first like to say the hostel we stayed in called Hotel4youth looked really ugly and horrible on ...  Read the complete review

Berlin - Underrated, fantastic place to visit. Being in the spirit of writing about Berlin as i seem to be today! I thought i would continue with a little review of the time i have spent there Ive visited Berlin twice, the first time was with my A Level history group (yes, i am a geek. lol) and the second was earlier this ...  Read the complete review

Berlin*, Berlin, Wir fahren nach Berlin! (Berlin, Berlin, We‘re heading for Berlin!) (pronounced Ber-leen, stress on the second syllable) This slogan has been chanted enthusiastically for ages whenever a German sports team made it to the capital for the last round, meanwhile it has left the confines of ...  Read the complete review

It is one of my life's ambitions to visit all the capital cities of Europe so I was thrilled when my parents said we could go to Berlin. Berlin is the Capital City of Germany and is located in the north-eastern part of the country. We stayed in Berlin for four nights last October. That may not sound like a long time but we managed to ...  Read the complete review

I am neither a historian nor a student of history but I like to know about the past of a place that I visit. Purpose of the visit may vary from business to pleasure but always try to know its past. My trip to Berlin was a pleasure trip and main intention was to look at the city after the fall of that iniquitous wall. Let me start with a brief ...  Read the complete review

Last September we went on our first visit to Berlin, where we were invited to report on the shooting of the video for Rick Astley's comeback single. We had absolutely no idea where we would be staying and it was only when we landed that we found out that we were staying in a 5 Star hotel, with the bill being paid by Rick himself. This is not ...  Read the complete review

Berlin is one of the most remarkable and fascinating cities in Europe. Reunited just over a decade ago, but still bearing the marks of its troubled history, it is working feverishly to reinvent itself as a cosmopolitan capital to rival New York or Paris. In 1961, the Communists ruling the GDR (East Germany) built a wall through the heart ...  Read the complete review

Few cities have such an evocative history as Berlin. It grew to prominence during the Enlightenment under the sometimes enlightened, but more usually illiberal Hohenzollerns after centuries as an important regional and trading centre. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the most of the great European events have been played at or shaped ...  Read the complete review

Quick re-visit (and slightly cynical attempt to glean more reads off the back of another op that ties in slightly with this one) to mention that I've been back to Berlin recently, a great weekend and a visit to all the old haunts, for more details on what's what in Berlin - READ ON....... Berlin - city of the Gods if you ask me, ...  Read the complete review

Who would have believed it? I never thought I would see it in my lifetime! The destruction of the infamous Berlin Wall and all that it represented, starting in November 1989. East Berliners poured into West Berlin, some to taste the expensive delights of capitalism and others to reunite as families. That breach in the dike opened ...  Read the complete review

This is the city was divided until October 1989 when the walls came tumbling down. The division between East and West officially ceased though looking around the city you will still notice some differences. SO what has the city going for it? One well-documented point on the city is its nightlife. It goes on throughout the night ...  Read the complete review

This opinion will be continued. Berlin - the most interesting town in Germany. Why? Time to tell you something about Berlin's fourth dimension: history. The structure of Berlin can be explained from it's history. A few thousand years ago there was a river in the middle of that place we now call Berlin and in the ...  Read the complete review

I was born in Berlin. That is now more than 20 years ago. The part I have lived in was called Berlin west, today it is Berlin – without West. And that is very good, because the west of Berlin is nice, but now it is a complete city again. What did we win? We won many nice people, who do not have to live behind a wall ...  Read the complete review

I was taking History as an A-Level earlier in the year, and we had the chance to visit Berlin, as part of our Third Reich studies. We stayed in a youth hostel, in February, near the centre of Berlin, which was quite pleasant, the owners knew quite a bit of English, and so it was much easier (for us!) to communicate, even though I did try to speak ...  Read the complete review

Several others have given opinions on Berlin and I agree with most of what has already been said, but no-one seems to have mentioned the Pergamon Museum, in the old Eastern quarter. In many ways I think this is one of the greatest museums in the World, but very few people have heard of it. It's near the river, and is a short walk down ...  Read the complete review

Berlin isn't one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, or even in Germany, and at first glance it's easy to see why. Much of the city, particularly the East, resembles a building site, and it doesn't have the attractiveness of many other German cities (Munich and Heidelberg spring to mind). That said, there's ...  Read the complete review

As a budget traveller I found Berlin to be just okay. The problem is it is not cheap in comparison to some places. The transport system is okay and the people are ignorant......sorry about anglo-german relationships but they were. Berlin obviously is a historic and important city but with reunification the city is a building site and not very eye ...  Read the complete review
