Berlin: history, art, green, and a long night.

A day in Berlin often starts later, moving through historic sites or expansive parks before shifting into evenings with diverse international food and late-night venues. It suits you if you appreciate deep history, alternative culture, and vibrant nightlife, without needing a perfectly picturesque European city. One surprising aspect is just how green Berlin is, with vast parks and forests making up a significant portion of its area. You might also be surprised by its numerous waterways and bridges, more than Venice, Amsterdam, and Stockholm combined.
