Berlin

The cheapest major capital and the best nightlife in Europe.

Travellers come here for nightlife, culture, meeting people and food.

When to go

Aim for September, April and October. Think twice about July, August and June — the wettest stretch of the year.

Getting there

The airport is BER. Berlin is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.

Cheapest one-way found from LAX next month: $334, 1 stop. Found 46 hours ago — a price someone was offered, not a quote for you.
