Since the fall of the Berlin wall, the city has steadily built a reputation as one of Europe’s most prominent cultural and artistic hubs. This is a capital that is defined as much by its past as by its cutting-edge museums and pulsating night-time venues.

Home to world-famous cultural sites, such as the UNESCO-protected Museumsinsel, the new Humboldt Forum and the Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin is also peppered with quirky museums, artisan markets and botanical gardens. Besides being one of Europe’s most cultural centres, Berlin is a welcoming city for families: Children love its fairy-tale forest Grunewald, the Children’s World of the Jewish Museum and exploring historic sights on two wheels on our bike tours.

When staying at Hotel de Rome, experience curated tours to really get under the skin of this fascinating city. Take in Berlin’s thriving contemporary art scene, learn the secrets of gin distillation or feel like a local on a bike tour around the city’s most incredible historic sights.
