Since its reunification the city has grown into one of the best places to visit. Berlin offers history, culture and nightlife all rolled up into a superb tourism offering.

Situated in the northeast of Germany, Berlin is just a hop away from Poland and Czech Republic. The city is surrounded by lush countryside with castles and other medieval remains scattered around. If you are not one that likes to stay in the city itself, you can find a quaint lodge or renovated castle (now being a hotel) and hire a car. You can explore Berlin at your leisure and return to the tranquillity when it all gets too much for you.

However, if you are one of those that prefer to be in the hub of things, then you will find the perfect accommodation in Berlin. Berlin’s nightlife is severely underrated with some of the best nightclubs in Europe situated there. Berliners know how to party, so if this is what you are looking for then find a hotel in the vicinity of the best clubs. If you do not find a hotel in the exact area you want then you will be glad to know that the transportation system is top class and you will have no problem getting around the city at any time day or night.

You can choose between a whole range of clubs, bars and restaurants. Surprisingly, you will find some of the best jazz clubs in Berlin so if you are a jazz fanatic then you will not be disappointed. You also have not lived if you have not listened to German heavy metal music at ear-splitting levels in a dark club while head banging with the locals. This may not sound like your cup of tea, but it is a great way to see how German culture has embraced other music genres and made them their own.

Two hotels with the best reputations in Berlin must be the Hotel Gates and the Adlon Berlin Hotel. If you are looking for top class accommodation then you should check out their websites. Even if you do not stay there you should try out one of the bars in these hotels and catch a glimpse of the who’s-who in Berlin.

If you are considering a trip to Berlin then you should book as soon as you can. It is advisable to visit in the summer months because the winters can get quite icy, but the summer months are more expensive. However, spending a snowy Christmas in Berlin could not seem like a bad option if you are looking for somewhere different to spend your holiday. The sooner you book, the better deals you will get.

The flats Berlin has to offer are your best bet for sticking to your budget in a city where the U.S dollar is no longer king among currencies.

Berlin is a fascinating city. Since the fall of communism in the former East Germany, the city has once again become the center of the German Republic. It is recognized as one of the most interesting metropolis in Europe, perhaps even the world. Additionally, is not only a symbol of the reunification, it is also a mecca for nightowls and a melting pot for great architecture, culture, and modernism.

So, when in a city as deeply entrenched in history as Berlin, stretch the value of your dollar by staying in an apartment instead of a hotel. Finding an apartment is not a problem. The flats Berlin offers range from the dirt-cheap to the reasonably-priced.

Among the types of flats Berlin ads frequently advertise is the WG-Zimmer. WG stands for Wohngemainschaft. In this flat type, a group of people share one apartment, which comes with a kitchen, a bathroom, and occasionally, a living room. Within the WG, each flatmate gets a room. Only the kitchen and the bathroom are communal.

Other flats Berlin visitors could avail of range from one-room studios to the more elaborate and pricey apartments. There are two important things to pay attention to when looking for an apartment. Often, tourists are confused by the term, “One Room.” One Room flats, Berlin style, consist of one room plus a kitchen and a bathroom. Most Westerners assume “One Room” means one bedroom and a living room. As explained earlier, such is not the case.

The second thing you have to remember is that majority of the flats Berlin landlords offer come unfurnished. This could pose a big problem for people who decide to stay in the city at the spur of the moment, or are staying for a short time only. If either of the two is true of you, then the best recourse open to you is to go through an agency. You’ll have to shell out more bucks, naturally, but you will be able to enjoy fully furnished flats. Another alternative is to look for a place to room-sit. There are many flats Berlin students leave empty because they have to go home or travel somewhere. You can find many flats like these. All you have to do is look for magazine and newspaper sections marked “Auf Zeit.” Or, you could visit Holiday4You and check out their listing.

The prices of flats Berlin landlords put on the market vary. A room within a WG located in central Berlin can fetch somewhere between 150 and 250 Euros a month. A flat, on the other hand, will cost you between 300 and 400 Euros a month. Often, it’s possible to get your landlord to lower the rent. However, you should carefully note what you are haggling over. Check what the price includes. Sometimes, a student may have extras, such as a washing machine or a refrigerator. Check if your rent already includes use of these appliances. As with all business transactions, one can never be too careful.
