Germany's capital, Berlin, is probably best described as a 'happening' city - it really does have something for every kind of visitor. Its unrivalled party scene is the envy of hedonists all across the world, while it could also be described as the creative hub of Europe, such is the vibrancy of its art and culture scene. Meanwhile, the city's well-told history is quite literally etched on virtually every street and building.

It's got a wealth of attractions that make it an ideal destination for a European holiday. Take your pick from sights like the Reichstag, historic Checkpoint Charlie, the sobering Holocaust Memorial, the Brandenburg Gate and enough museums to keep you busy for a year. At the same time, it's location, straddling Eastern and Western Europe, makes it the ideal starting point from which to explore the whole of this great continent.

Outside of Berlin, Germany has tonnes to excite visiting tourists. Try a Bratwurst and a beer at the famous Hoefbrauhaus in Munich, climb the steps of the magnificent cathedral in Cologne or wander through the towns and villages on the 600-kilometre long Marchenstrasse.
