Berlin

The big city on the Spree: Berlin is wild, diverse, and offers so many attractions that even after a week, you won't have seen everything this city has to offer. 

Why take the train to Berlin 

Affordable: Train travel to Germany is unbeatably cheap. If you book early, you can get from Bern to Berlin for as little as 39 Swiss francs. For that price, you often can't even take your suitcase with you on a plane. 

Environmentally friendly: Are you considering traveling to Germany by train? The climate will thank you for it! A train journey consumes about ten times less CO2 than the same route by plane. As you can see, traveling by train is something to be proud of! 

Make good use of your time: No other mode of transport allows you to use your travel time as efficiently as the train. You can finish your semester paper for university, plan your vacation, or do on the night train what you would have done at home: sleep.
