- Travel at off-peak times. Berlin is Germany's top tourist destination, and there's a lot of competition for hotel rooms and transport at peak times. The city is always busy during the summer season from June to September; visiting either side of this period means cooler weather but smaller crowds and slightly lower prices.
- Book tickets in advance. It's a good idea to book tickets or make reservations ahead of time for major sights, particularly if you want to tour the Reichstag.
- Save money on transport. Traveling from the gleaming new Berlin Brandenburg Airport to the center by taxi is expensive. Instead, take either the FEX Airport Express train, Deutsche Bahn train RE7 or RB14, or the slower S-Bahn 9 train to Hauptbahnhof station in central Berlin; the train station is in Terminal 1.
- Dress codes depend on the district. Unlike the rest of Germany, where smart casual dress dominates, Berlin is a city with no rules when it comes to fashion.
Cologne. Cologne (German: Köln, Ripuarian: Kölle) is a city on the Rhine river in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is the fourth largest city in Germany with around 1.1 million residents (2020). It is one of the nation's media, tourism and business hotspots, and is considered one of the most liberal cities in Germany.
Accordingly, far-right groups have sustained an important presence even in large and relatively liberal cities. Berlin, for instance, politically leans to the left and is by far Germany’s most populous city. Yet even here, certain areas have gained infamy as so-called “fear-zones.”
