Visit Berlin and Vienna

Germany is a place to discover fairytale castles, picturesque villages, crystal-clear lakes and snow-capped mountains, the mystical Black Forest, stunning Rhine River cruises, traditional Christmas markets and naturally, the world-famous Oktoberfest.


Berlin is a vibrant city. The fall of the Berlin wall (which once divided the city) has increased visitor numbers to the city. There is always something happening in this German city of art, culture and history. You can experience the majestic beauty of castles and palaces, explore fascinating museums or delve into the modern fantasy worlds of musicals and variety shows or enjoy the outstanding German cuisine of the many excellent restaurants. There are over 7,000 bars and restaurants in Berlin. Hotels in Berlin are never in short supply. Cheap rates are even available all-year round.

Museums are a great place to learn about a city. Permanent exhibitions in Berlin offer fascinating insights into Berlin's history, as far back as the Middle Ages. And the city is still changing today.

Now is probably one of the best times of the year to visit Berlin. The magic of the festive season is nowhere more evident than at the Christmas Markets held in the cities, towns and villages throughout Germany. Visiting the Christmas Markets would be an enchanting experience.

From one cultural city to another, a visit to Vienna is a must on a European tour. Hotels in Vienna are easily available and booking online could yield cheaper rates, even for last-minute bookings.



Vienna is Austria's capital and a province at the same time. It offers a unique blend of imperial traditions and stunning modern architecture and famous for its cultural events, imperial sights, coffee houses, cozy wine taverns, and the very special Viennese charm. Vienna is home to many international organizations.

Art lovers will love Vienna for her many museums and galleries of international reputation. Great works of art are being housed in these museums.

Vienna owes much of its international fame to the many celebrated composers who lived and worked here including Mozart, StrauB, Beethoven and Haydn. Vienna boasts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, one the world’s best, the Staatsoper one of the world’s leading opera houses, and the Vienna Boys’ Choir one of the world’s most famous choirs.



There is much to see in Vienna, from the Gothic St. Stephen’s Cathedral to the Imperial Palace to the Art Nouveau splendor of the Secession, to the magnificent baroque palace of Schönbrunn to the Museum of Fine Arts.

Whether you are visiting Berlin or Vienna, booking hotels in Berlin or hotels in Vienna is never easier. Online booking offers cheaper rates, cheaper in most cases and with lots of extras included.
