Berlin is also Famous for Christmas Markets
During December weekends, the Wiehnachtsmarkts (“Christmas markets”) attract many flights to Berlin. Stalls that sell local and regional crafts are offered to tourists who come take flights to Berlin from all over the world. One of the most popular places to go to after flights to Berlin is Spandua. Spandua has never failed to attract a number of flights to Berlin during late November until December.
Berlin Started the Love Parade
4 months after the Berlin wall fell in 1989, the Love Parade was born and has drawn several extra flights to Berlin every summer. There are similar parades that have sprung in other countries, but the number of flights to Berlin every year show that the original is still the biggest.
Berlin is Known for Beer and Sausages
If you have not eaten a German sausage yet, you have to make sure to take home some Currywurst on your flights back to your country from Berlin. You must also try the Berliner Weisse, or Berlin’s white beer, during your first night out from your flights to Berlin. These specialties are available in most local restaurants and bars.
Berlin has the Oldest Zoo
If you have kids with you on your flights to Berlin, you will be delighted to know that the oldest zoo in Germany can be found there – the Zoologischer Garten Berlin. This zoo was opened in 1844 and has since drawn many tourists and flights to Berlin. The zoo began with the donation of animals from the former King of Prussia. Many foreigners come here from their flights to Berlin as it is one of the few zoos in the world that has the most species of animals.
Berlin has Three Airports
All flights to Berlin land in one of 3 airports. Tegel is currently the main airport that services more than 50 airline flights to Berlin on a regular basis.
