Berlin

Berlin, Germany’s capital, is known for landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Wall Memorial, Museum Island, and Checkpoint Charlie. The local currency is the euro (EUR), and card payments are common, though some smaller places still prefer cash. Prices are moderate compared to other major European cities, with public transport, food, and accommodation offering decent value. The weather is variable—winters are cold and often grey, while summers are mild to warm, with spring and early autumn usually being the most comfortable times to visit.
