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.
