Berlin & Vienna

{Sponsored Post}

Berlin and Vienna...What do you know about these two cities? Other than that they are the capital cities of Germany and Austria respectively?

When one mentions Berlin, we immediately think of the Berlin Wall; the visible division between the East and the West during the Cold War. But there is more to Berlin than the Berlin Wall, whereby only a small section remains today. Berlin is a city culturally rich with a vast number of museums, art galleries, opera houses, orchestras and theatres. There are over 170 museums in Berlin, showcasing centuries of art treasures and historical exhibitions. Today's contemporary artists are not left out either. The city is a real haven for music lovers, and is home to the world famous Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. If you are thinking of visiting this fascinating city, there are many Hotels in Berlin that would cater to any budgets.

With Vienna...I would think Mozart and Strauss would instantly spring to mind. Like Berlin, Vienna is a city where music fills the air. Vienna is home to the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as a number of opera houses such as the Staatsoper and the Volksoper. With a history dating back to the Celtics in 500 BC, this historically-important city has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the year 2001. Unique architechtural styles such as Romanesque Ruprechtskirche and Baroque Karlskirche are also found in Vienna. Even some Hotels in Vienna have these unique elements and features.

A visit to Western Europe would not be complete without visiting these two cities. Although the exchange rate to Euros is rather high at the moment, you can find still affordable Hotels in Berlin and Vienna. And if you are travelling last-minute, CheaperthanHotels.co.uk have further deals in both Hotels in Vienna and Berlin.
