Berlin has become a major destination for backpackers from all around the world, thanks to it’s relatively low prices and permissive party atmosphere that
sees clubs and bars open til the sun comes up. Here are a few suggestions to help you get the most out of your stay in Germany’s party city.
1. Do a walking tour
Berlin is huge in terms of size, and walking around on your own will likely get you lost. This can be great fun if you have time, but it also means that
you might miss some of the monuments and features that are essential and need to be explained to you by a guide. There are several tour companies offering
tours of different parts of the city, so find one you like and try it out.
2. Eat street food
There are two main snack foods on the streets of Berlin, which both have cult status. First is the Doner kebab, invented here in the 1970s by a Turkish
immigrant who had the genius idea of putting traditional Turkish kebab meat into a piece of bread. Kebabs are available all over the city, and are a cheap
way to fill up on the go.To hire vehicles to get into Berlin, check out erento.co.uk.
Currywurst is quite different to the curry you might be familiar with, since it is actually a sausage sliced up and smothered in a spicy tomato sauce. It
might not sound like much, but it’s a Berlin favourite and currywurst stands are all over the city.
3. Go out at night
Berlin’s night-life stopped being a secret a long time ago, and now the clubs and bars are full of tourists and locals alike, all enjoying an atmosphere
of raucous fun that other cities lost long ago. The clubs are a particular draw for electronic music fans, who line up for hours in the hope of being allowed
into some of the world famous venues.
