24 hours in Berlin

Berlin is one of the most exciting cities on the continent, and it’s no surprise that it forms a central part of many Interrail journeys. With the amount of nightlife, culture and history on offer it’s unlikely that 24 hours in Berlin cover everything that you have in mind. But at the very least it’ll be enough to have you planning a return journey soon.
