Germany’s capital, Berlin is a busy, thriving city and major business center. Its history and culture ensure the city is also a top tourist destination and Berlin Broome Hotel Accommodation can be found throughout the city, offering services and amenities for both the guest on vacation and the visitor on business. The city’s architecture, art galleries and musical performances are all part of its charm. Berlin Broome Hotel Accommodation comes in a host of different styles from high-tech contemporary chic to grand imposing heritage designs, providing services and amenities that include health and fitness facilities such as gyms, saunas and swimming pools, as well as Wi-Fi, themed room decor and free parking. Much of the Berlin Broome Hotel Accommodation is close to public transport and the monuments and sightseeing attractions that draw the vacationer to the city. Perhaps the best way to begin a sightseeing stay is to take a guided bus tour or visit the Story of Berlin, an exhibition that presents 800 years of history. The city’s most photographed landmark is the Brandenburg Gate, recognized worldwide from when it was part of the Berlin Wall and seen as the symbol of the divided East and West. Re-opened on December 22, 1989 following the fall of the wall, the gate has now come to represent the reunified Germany. Checkpoint Charlie is another reminder of the Cold War era. One of the three American-built checkpoints in the wall, Checkpoint Charlie has featured in several spy novels and movies. The original cabin is in a museum in the Zehlendorf district but a replica now stands on site. The royal rooms at the Rococo and Baroque style Charlottenburg Palace are open to the public. Built for Sophie Charlotte, the wife of Elector Fredrick III, the original palace was destroyed during an Allied raid in 1943 but the building has been meticulously reconstructed. In addition to its monuments, Berlin is known too for the many green oases within the city. Home to more than three million people, Germany’s largest city is also the second most populous in the European Union. Nevertheless, one third of the city is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers and lakes. Unter den Linden (‘under the linden, or lime, trees’) is one of the most famous streets in the world with its tree-lined pedestrian mall lying between two carriageways. The Tiergarten, once a royal hunting reserve, has more than 14 miles of paths and the Berlin Zoo is within its parkland. Many of the German Parliament’s buildings can be found in the Tiergarten area and part of the Reichstag, (the seat of the German Parliament), is open to the public. Visitors can climb up into the glass dome above the plenary hall or they can get birds-eye views of the city from the Victory Tower in the Tiergarten, the Fernsehturm television tower on the Alexanderplatz, the Europa Center, or the Kollhoff Tower on the Potsdamer Platz. The Potsdamer Platz is also a visitor must-see for its ultra-modern buildings, trendy shops and restaurants, entertainment and commercial center. The Kurfürstendamm and Friedrichstrasse shopping streets are also extremely popular with tourists and the business visitor alike. For entertainment, Berlin is particularly famous for its nightclubs and the city’s Mitte district and Kreuzbeug are recommended for their trendy venues. Winter in Berlin can be very cold and snowy and the city comes into its own with 60 Christmas markets springing up in the streets, the squares and in the museums, all offering festive food and a yuletide atmosphere. In the summer, temperatures can rise to 30˚C or sometimes even higher and the air-conditioning units in Berlin Broome Hotel Accommodation are very welcome indeed.
