Take a short break to Berlin for the last word in urban cool

What should I do on a weekend trip to Berlin?

With so much to see and do, you'll find that a short break only gives you a taster of Berlin. If you're curious about culture and history, make sure to visit the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag Building; climb the dome if you're up for a challenge. As part of your short trip to Berlin, you'll find a wealth of museums and historical monuments to explore. Some of the best include the Checkpoint Charlie Museum, which tells the story of the Berlin Wall, and the moving Holocaust Memorial. Museum Island has a number of world-class museums - you could easily spend all weekend there! Berlin also has great shopping. Kurfürstendamm is the place to go for luxury goods, while Hackescher Market has a number of trendy boutiques with unique pieces.

Where should I stay on a short break in Berlin?

If this is your first minibreak in Berlin, look for holiday lettings in Berlin Mitte. This is the centre of the city, where most of the main tourist attractions are located, so you'll be able to get around easily on foot. If you already know the city well, you could look further afield for holiday lettings in Berlin. Kreuzberg is one of the trendiest parts of the city, known for its street art and excellent nightlife. This is the place to stay if you plan on staying in the club until it closes! You may also want to look for apartments in Berlin around Charlottenburg, a sophisticated neighbourhood with gorgeous architecture and upscale shops and dining. It's ideal if you fancy a bit of luxury on your short break in Berlin.
