Presentation of Berlin

Once a symbol of division and conflict, Berlin today is the forward-looking, united capital of unified Germany. It's one of Europe's most varied and exciting cities, where you can find everything from all-night parties to spectacular cuisine. History fans will love our discount holidays to Berlin, too, as the city has been at the heart of European affairs for hundreds of years. It has a hugely appealing mix of big-city sophistication and small-town friendliness, and on package holidays to Berlin, you'll discover that it's also full of world-class art in every field you can imagine, from painting to opera. Let us paint a picture of your ideal break!

Things to know before visiting Berlin

Millions of people travel to Germany from the UK every year, and taking a holiday in Berlin is both welcoming and straightforward for British visitors. As long as you're just going on a break and don't plan to work, all British citizens will need to enter the country is a valid passport. Berlin's major airport is Tegel, five miles northwest of central Berlin. A budget carrier taking a flight to Berlin may land instead at Schoenefeld Airport, about 11 miles southwest of the city. While enjoying our cheap package holidays to Berlin, don't forget: it's legally required that you wait for the green signal when using pedestrian crossings! Don't worry, though: we'll give you all the information you need.

What is the weather in Berlin?

The German capital benefits from a pleasant temperate climate, and with our holiday deals to Berlin, you'll experience a warm welcome. After a flight from London to Berlin, you can expect afternoon highs in the low to mid-20s Celsius if you visit then; the warmest months are usually July and August. On the other hand, taking advantage of our flight and hotel deals to Berlin in the winter months can mean cold, clear days with a little frost and a wonderful freshness to the air. Many visitors choose to come in spring, when the local microclimate keeps things mild but days are more comfortable for active pursuits. One other great way to feel relaxed is to book with us today.
