Explore Berlin
Berlin wears its history openly — the Wall, the Brandenburg Gate, Museum Island — beside a fearless contemporary art and food scene. The city is vast and spread out; Chauffyr links a Museum-Island morning, a Kreuzberg currywurst and a three-star dinner in a fixed-price black car.
Cold-War history and the Berlin Wall, world-class museums on Museum Island, a legendary nightlife and arts scene, and bold modern architecture.
