Sat on the River Spree in North-Eastern Germany is Berlin. This city is renowned for its vast range of unique landmarks, vibrant nightlife and an eclectic mix of modern architecture and historic buildings.
Berlin has one of the most vast and efficient public transport systems in Europe. From the u-bahn to trams, there is always something to get visitors from A to B, and in a cost-effective way. This makes a massive difference as taking public transport halves the CO2 emitted per journey.
Berlin also has the Einwegpfand – a 25c deposit on bottles that you can get back by returning used bottles. Not only does it incentivise recycling by getting your money back, but it allows individuals in need to collect up bottles and earn some euros. The scheme is popular with locals as people collect bottles off the streets to earn back the deposit.
As well as this, Berlin has a great selection of vegan cafes and restaurants. The variety gives visitors a choice in reducing their environmental impact as they can chose plant-based foods. Even in non-vegan restaurants there are plenty of plant-based options.
With citizens from over 190 countries, Berlin is a hub for culture. Walking through the streets of Berlin, visitors will have no trouble finding street art and graffiti. Many of these artworks have meaningful stories behind them, including pieces at East Side Gallery (an art exhibition scaling a remaining section of the Berlin wall).
Berlin also has an abundance of history. The city has more museums than it has rainy days – on average 105 rainy days a year to 175 museums. One of the city’s most famous historic buildings, the Reichstag is a fusion of the original 19th century parliament building and a restoration project from 1999. The building was heavily under fire during WWII and was ON fire in 1933 – causing catastrophic damage.
Germany’s capital city is raising the bar on conference and event standards. Whether organisers are looking for a unique event space or a conference hotel, Berlin has a range of space to suit any event. VisitBerlin encourage the planning of sustainable and green events, and with the facilities that Berlin already has in place, this is easily achievable.
