Some people, however, prefer to go off the beaten track to find something completely different. It may surprise you that even though Berlin has an impeccable record when it comes to organization and facilities, there is always something new to do. The key is to know where to look.
Now, if you like to walk then Berlin is the city for you. This does not mean that you have to walk everywhere you go and this will also depend on where you find accommodation. Most hotels will provide you with the option of taking a shuttle to most of the city's hot spots. The transportation system is a class unto its own so you will never struggle to find transport any time of the day or night. If you want to stay within the city itself then you will be able to choose between all the world class hotels.
There is also the option of staying outside Berlin in one of the converted castles which now also function as niche hotels. However, staying in a self-catering holiday apartment or holiday rental could also be up your alley. If you hire a car then you will be able to explore the more outlying areas of Berlin and then continue on foot knowing that you will always have transport back to your holiday accommodation when you want to return 'home'.
If museums are your cup of tea then Berlin has numerous that you will find quite interesting. The best museums include the Allied Museum and the DDR Museum Berlin. This is just a tip of the iceberg in terms of Berlin's culture and history. The best way to experience more of this is on foot where you can appreciate the amazing German architecture up close.
The Berlin State Opera Theatre and the Deutsches Theater will not only offer you a jaw-dropping architectural feat but also treat you to a true German cultural fest if you book yourself some tickets to see a German show. If you look online you should be able to book tickets to one of the many shows in advance so you can plan your holiday more effectively. This will only take up a few hours of one evening in Berlin, but is guaranteed to be one of the highlights of your trip.
While you are on foot you could also consider having a look at the German Parliament. This is surrounded by equally-pretty buildings. The more you walk the more of Berlin you will be able to see. Do not forget to take your camera and as much spare film/memory card that you can. The sooner you book the better you will be able to plan your holiday, so best you start straight away.
