Berlin - Carnival of cultures

Welcome to the city of contrasts!

Since reunification, Berlin has become a blend of modern glass palaces, refurbished old-style houses, gyro stands and sushi restaurants, mass-produced housing estates, and luxury hotels. It is this mixture of old and new, of true and aspiring Berliners, that makes Germany’s largest metropolis so appealing and unique. The flair of Berlin attracts people from all over the world. Not only during the Berlinale – the annual film festival.

Art connoisseurs and bohemians feel at home here. Our tip: start getting acquainted with Berlin by taking a trip along the River Spree. Then you can walk to the places of interest straight from the boat. Discover the most exciting city Germany has to offer when you fly Germanwings.
