On Arrival in Berlin
Willkommen in Berlin! Europe's most eco-hip capital, much of Berlin has been under reconstruction in the years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, innovative architects have been designing buildings with low energy consumption and clever use of resources. Even Berlin’s most famous building – the Reichstag — has a glass dome which works as a source of daylight and takes energy from the complex cold and heat storage system in the ground water.
The city is full of green areas and communal gardens, with new parks opening all the time, such as at a former airport Berlin Tempelhof or railway station Gleisderieck. The city also has plenty of eco-friendly shopping and dining, and is home to the largest organic supermarket in Europe.
For information about Berlin including where to stay, restaurants, sights of interest, and how to get around by public transport, see the website of the Berlin Tourist Board
