History with geography
The city is located on both banks of the Spree River on the slopes of two hills. Its history began in the 13th century, when the small cities of Berlin and Cologne appeared on opposite banks. A hundred years later, they were united and a common town hall was erected. The name of the city, according to the Germans, comes from the word "bear", which is depicted on the city flag and coat of arms.
Briefly about the important
- The moderate climatic zone in which the German capital is located dictates a fairly mild weather at any time of the year. Summer here is warm, but not hot and the average daytime air temperature reaches +25. The least rainfall occurs in April and October. Tours to Berlin in spring or autumn are beautiful parks with a riot of colors, comfortable warm days and pleasant freshness in the evenings. In winter, the thermometer rarely drops to a large minus, but frost in the region of -5 is often.
- The best way to see the sights of the German capital is using the Berlin metro. Convenient station location system, short waiting time for trains, comfortable coaches and a clear information system make this type of public transport ideal for the traveler.
- Two Berlin airports receive flights from Russia and other countries every day. Getting from the terminals to the city is easier, faster and cheaper by high-speed train. The same trains run to the outskirts and suburbs of the capital.
- It is not possible to go on tours to Berlin from Russia by train. Comfortable high-speed train Moscow - Paris, passing through the capital of Germany, departs daily from the Belorussky railway station.
- The architectural and landscape sights of Berlin can be divided into two large groups. The first represents everything that was built before the war and survived during the hard years. The second part is post-war buildings, many of which are, in fact, memorials of the Second World War.
