With two airports for those visiting Berlin, Tegal Airport, and Schonefeld Airport, flights to this exciting city are abundant, keeping flight prices pretty low. Schonefeld Airport is associated with what we call budget airlines and is a bit further away from the city's center and has many cheaper hotels and hostels in the area.

 Alte Nationalgalerie Museum is not only one to visit for the range of displays hosted here but the building itself is absolutely striking.
