The beautiful German capital is a very lively city that offers many alternatives to its visitors. After London, Berlin is the largest city in the European Union, besides being one of the main economic, political and cultural centers of the old continent. Since the wall that divided East Berlin from West Berlin fell in 1989, the city is in a continuous work in progress, with many buildings under construction that make it a vital place and projected towards the future; not a typical German city then.

What to see in Berlin

Those who choose to explore this jewel of Germany, in addition to the classic tourist attractions, have the opportunity to see the picturesque landscapes of the surroundings or to visit the beautiful castle of Charlottenburg.

Going specifically, we recommend the places that are most worth seeing:

• Brandenburg Gate: the symbol of the city, it is in the neoclassical style and during the Cold War it was located in the part of East Berlin.
• Holocaust Memorial: inaugurated in 2005, it is a real labyrinth of 2711 concrete blocks in memory of the over 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis.
• Berlin Wall: during the night of November 9th, 1989, along with the wall fell all political barriers that had for years divided the city in two parts. Today, only 1 km of the wall remains, decorated by over 100 artists from all over the world./span>
• Pergamon Museum: one of the most important museums in the world. It takes its name from the most prestigious work of art kept inside it: the altar of Pergamon. But beyond that, you can also see the museums of ancient art and Islamic art, which are located in the same building and are visited with a single ticket.

Berlin airports

The German capital city has two airports: Tegel and Schönefeld. The first is the main airport of the city and is named after the German aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal.

Tegel is situated about 8 km from the city center and has 5 terminals, making it the fourth busiest German airport, with 20 million passengers every year arriving in Berlin.

The Tegel Airport is the hub of Air Berlin, and from here you can reach many foreign cities, although the most common routes are those directed to the German cities of Munich, Frankfurt and Cologne.

Schönefeld Airport, on the other hand, is more distant from the center than Tegel (about 20 km). Although it is mostly used for Ryanair and Easyjet low-cost flights, it is also possible to reach this airport by airplanes belonging to flag companies that fly to cities such as Moscow, Lisbon and Cairo.

Berlin Transports

Since Berlin has a fairly large historical center, it is not advisable to do it on foot but to do so using the many public means available to those wishing to visit museums, monuments and so on. The excellent transport network in Berlin includes subways, buses and trams. To get comprehensive info on the Berlin public transport system, you can visit the official website of the main company that deals with the transport of the city.

The subway is undoubtedly the most convenient and fastest means of transportation. There are 9 lines that travel the city far and wide and are indicated by the letter U (an abbreviation of U-Bahn). On weekdays the metro runs start at 5:00 am and finish at 1 am; however on weekends, the metro runs all night.

There is also a subway on the surface whose stations are marked with the green letter S. The tickets can be bought at the ticket machines inside the stations.

Both Berlin buses and MetroBus are bright yellows; the latter run at all hours of the day and night, while the buses stop the service at one o'clock in the morning to be replaced by night lines that will circulate until 4 am. To take advantage of public transport in a simple way, you can consult the official website.

Finally, to move from one point to another in the city you can use the approximately 7000 public taxis in Berlin, recognizable by the yellow sign with the word "Taxi" on the roof.

You can book at the special parking lots and are the ideal alternative when you need a quick shift and you can not wait for the bus and metro. A "gap" of public taxis in Berlin is that when the workday ends, they often refuse to accept other customers; this is a big problem especially for those arriving in the German capital at night and outside the airport must walk a lot looking for a taxi willing to make the race. In addition to this inconvenience, the public taxi does not guarantee a fixed cost for airport transfers. In fact, depending solely on the taximeter, there may be substantial price differences compared to the price agreed before boarding the vehicle.
