Berlin: Germany’s Hip Capital City full of History, Music, Art, & Nightlife!
Resort to Laura Madrid
Berlin is a fascinating city and one of Europe’s most exciting capitals! My last visit was the year the wall came down so returning after so many years was a thrill. Berlin is an exhilarating city for history, but it is also a creative hub for artists and musicians. The art scene, museums, and night life here are worth the visit alone! I stayed at the incomparable Das Stue, Berlin’s first luxury boutique hotels located in the peaceful diplomatic district but a short drive to the art, entertainment and shopping of the East and West sides of Germany’s capital city! Even if you are not staying here, plan on a dinner with famed Spanish chef Paco Perez one evening – you won’t be disappointed!
