Berlin – Germany’s Hotspot for Young Travellers!
Berlin rocks! It’s just that easy. Germany’s capital is a melting pot of different cultures, life styles, arts, culinary delights, and traditions.
Walking through Berlin means walking through a major part of Europe’s history. A city which has been destroyed and torn apart during and after the Second World War. For decades, it has been a democratic island surrounded by a communist state. It was then reunited and re-elected as the capital of Germany, and today stands as a symbol for what human beings can achieve if they are all driven by the same force and idea of freedom and justice.
So, let’s take a look into this amazing city and highlight some hotels, restaurants, and cool places.
Hotels in Berlin – The Choice is Yours!
And the choice most definitely depends on your travel budget. Here are three of many options where you can catch some zzz – from expensive and posh to low budget, yet cool.

The “Adlon” is one of the most renowned and famous luxury hotels in the city. Back in 1907, the rich merchant Lorenz Adlon called in a favour from Kaiser Wilhelm II and build this awe-inspiring hotel right next to the historic landmark “Brandenburger Tor”.
Since day one, the Adlon was the city’s prime address for big players from the worlds of politics, commerce and show business. As you may find out when looking up this 5* hotel on the WWW the Adlon hosted a large number of VIPs, like Barack Obama, Michael Jackson, Charlie Chaplin and even Adolf Hitler during his days.
So, if you are willing and able to pay a minimum rate of approximately 330 Euro per night, you are more than welcome to unwind in one of Berlin’s most exclusive hotels.
