This beautiful capital city and heartbeat of Germany, Berlin is awonderful place year round with a vast array of attractions to entice all visitors to it again and again especially in the Winter months when its 7 Christmas Markets are the major attraction.
These markets are really fun to esxpore selling a variety of wares such as Christmas arts and crafts including hand-blown glass objects, jewellery to mulled wine and pastries, there is something for everyone.
Away from the markets you should set aside some time for sightseeing from the remnants of the former Wall to the Brandenburg Gate to Checkpoint Charlie, there is a lot to see in Berlin. A short city break is usually not enough to take in all the historical sights of this legendary city and a second visit is quite justified.The transport system in Berlin is, rightly known as one of the most efficient in Europe and makes getting around so easy.
With so many airlines operating routes to Berlin's main international Tegel airport and a variety of low cost carriers now flying to Schonefeld Airport too, this is a great time to visit.
