Camping in Berlin-Brandenburg

Holidays in Berlin-Brandenburg

One of Europe’s truly great cities, Berlin is everything you’d want a capital to be. With its effervescent energy and thrilling blend of historical sites and modern vitality,  the city is alive with possibilities for exploration.

Alongside its cutting-edge art galleries, cool cafés and world-class food, the confident German capital offers remarkable value for money compared to other European capitals such as Rome and Paris, too.

For an instant hit, browse the eclectic flea markets of Mauerpark, sample hearty German fare in a traditional beer garden, or explore the thought-provoking exhibits at Museum Island.

Explore more and you’ll find the Brandenburg region, which wraps itself around the capital. It’s a pristine landscape of forests, canals, mediaeval villages and historic sights. Berlin does tend to cast a rather large shadow. But don’t let it - too much - because within its borders, Brandenburg offers up much to surprise and delight.

Take, for starters, the legacy of Prussia on display at the impressive castles and gardens of Potsdam; a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nature is never far away, and you’ll especially love the labyrinth of waterways and lush greenery in the Spreewald Biosphere Reserve, perfect for tranquil boat trips or more active kayaking adventures.

Want it a little more lively? Frankfurt (Oder), is a hub for art and music, and a burgeoning food scene, while the mediaeval old town of Brandenburg an der Havel is, with its cafes and artisans’s shops, simply enchanting.
