Berlin is built at a lower density than most European capitals and has a relaxed ‘garden’ character. For a garden short break, there is no need to hire a car: the public transport system is excellent, both from the airport and within the city. Places to visit: Park Sanssouci and Charlottenhof Park, Sudgelande Nature Park, Tiergarten, Botanic Gardens, Berlin, Charlottenburg, Marlene Dietrich Platz, Pfaueninsel, Sony Center am Potsdamer Platz (Sony Platz).
