Just yards away from freedom, the people of Berlin used their ingrained sense of survival for almost 30 years until the wall came down in 1989. Hen weekenders will enjoy a city, once without any freedom of expression, now hosting the largest gay celebration in Europe. Since the east and west officially reunited, the number of museums have exploded to approximately 150. The city of Berlin continues to carefully rejuvenate the architecture not destroyed by it’s captors.

hen do at very reasonable rates, and transfers for unlimited changes are valid for up to two hours. If your
Berlin Hen Party prefers to use the cabs, they are plentiful and fares aren’t out of line.
Berlin at Night:
