There is no shortage of luxury hotels in Berlin.  Here on our destintion guide we provide booking links to only the best hotels in Berlin.  Berlin has always been noted as a city that aspires to excess. As the culturual capital of Germany, there are at least 150 museums, some housed in former palatial residences or wonderful restaurants, as well as four major symphony orchestras, three opera houses and numerous chamber orchestras which perform at different venues throughout the year. However, if your cultural tastes lean toward the modern or the wild, be sure to come in July for the Love Parade, when the clubs of Berlin parade their "scene and sound." Every type of bar is represented, and plenty of love permeates the air. It's no wonder that half of the 3.4 million residents are under the age of 35.

Built between 1865 and 1876 on the orders of Friedrich Wilhelm IV, designed by Friedrich August Stuler, this imposing museum is one of the five structures that make up the National Gallery. During WWII, many of the works in the museum were separated and taken to West Berlin or Russia. After a three-year closure from 1998 - 2001, the museum was restored and masterpieces reunited, creating one of the largest and riches collections of its kind in the world.
