KERRY Airport in conjunction with Ryanair announced earlier this year that from this November there will be a direct route to Berlin, Germany every Thursday and Sunday.
This new route further adds to the number of Ryanair routes direct from Kerry Airport and reflects the Airport’s commitment on building growth at the airport.
Berlin is one of Europe’s top visitor sites with a wealth of things to do and see in the city. As the highly acclaimed travel site the Lonely Planet shared “Berlin, may be one of the best value cities in Europe”.
Renowned for its history, art, and culture it’s easy to see why this European capital ranks so highly with visitors and tourists.
First on your list should be the Brandenburg Gate, one of the most iconic sights in today’s vibrant and cosmopolitan Berlin. Since reunification in Germany this neo-classical building, the only surviving city gate, has come to symbolise a city routed in its exciting future while honouring its past.
Other sites to visit include the museum at Checkpoint Charlie, which is part of the former Berlin Wall, which is on every visitor’s check list, as is the very moving Holocaust Memorial located close to the Brandenburg Gate.
For those of you who are “culture vultures” the Museum Island which is home to the Berlin State Museums will be top of your list, with free entry to such sites as the Bode Museum you can experience works of art from around the world in this dedicated area.
A rich art scene in Berlin means that art lives in both galleries and on the streets, popular galleries include the Germalde Gallery, the Alte National Gallery and Neue National Gallery. To experience street art, visit the East Side Gallery, formerly the Berlin Wall, it’s the longest open-air gallery in the world, boasting 1.3 km of art and history about the Berlin Wall.
Getting around the city is so simple, from when you arrive it’s a short train ride in to the heart of the Berlin.
From there if you purchase a Berlin City Pass you will gain access to the great public transport, including hop-on-hop-off city tours.
Alternatively, you can experience the city on a relaxing cruise or if you fancy something more energetic a city bike tour is a fun and exciting way to explore Berlin.
Berlin is acclaimed for its shopping, from its famous Christmas Markets to fantastic stores with designer and high-street brands, this city knows how to deliver on style and fashion whatever your budget!
The nightlife in Berlin does not disappoint either, start your evening by enjoying the wide variety of restaurants from high-end to an eclectic street food scene.
The city never sleeps, as Berlin proudly boasts it’s a 24/365 city so if you want to continue your evening you can enjoy shows and musicals and clubs and dancing. Buses and trains run all night for easy access throughout the city.
