Berlin
Visit Berlin
Berlin is an ideal place to visit on an interrailing trip or for a city break! It ticks all the boxes, the buzzing city boasts an amazing nightlife scene, amazing local food, a rich history, some of the most remarkable sights in Europe and not forgetting, the world-famous beer. The German capital has everything you’re looking for! Here are a few of our favourite reasons for why you should visit Berlin at least once in your life.
HISTORY
Everyone knows that Berlin has a rich history and when you finally visit the city, take some time to learn about the past. Every corner you walk by will have its own story, as Berlin was once part of a brutal dictatorship. There are many places in the city where you can get a true feel for what happened here many years ago, such as the Topography of Terror or The Holocaust Memorial. Be sure to walk along what remains of the famous Berlin Wall, which was decorated by artists from all over the world.
Visit Berlin – The City of Freedom
Even though many now know Berlin as the City of Freedom, it hasn’t always been. In recent memories lives the horrors of the Nazi regime, the Berlin Wall and the Cold War. Now, it’s the city that is continuously becoming a place where creative individuals have fought for acceptance and freedom. You visit a Berlin that contrasts the old and new!

Party in the party capital of Europe
Everyone knows that you’re guaranteed to have a good time in Germany, but you have to visit Berlin where it’s easy to have a really good time. Unlike many other German cities, Berlin doesn’t have an official closing time, so you can party for as long as you can handle. Cheap drinks and party scenes go hand in hand, and this is one of the many reasons why it’s a popular interrailing city. However, if you find yourself looking for a more chilled out evening, Berlin can offer you this too with a visit to some of their beer gardens.
Many of our pre-designed interrailing packages include a visit to Berlin, or you can include it on your custom Europe adventure!
