La propiedad — Alex Hotel
The Alex Hotel is a solid, no-fuss 3-star in Berlin’s Mitte district, steps from Alexanderplatz. The lobby is clean and modern, with blond wood and a reception desk that moves quickly — it feels like an efficient base for a city-breaker who values location over frills. The USP is the rooftop terrace with skyline views of the Fernsehturm, and it suits travellers who want to be dropped into the thick of transport links and sightseeing.
Crónicas de Berlin
Berlin began as a pair of fishing villages on the Spree in the 13th century, grew as the Prussian capital, then became a 1920s cultural powerhouse. The war and division scarred it deeply — the Wall fell in 1989, and reunification since has remade it. Its architecture jumps from Baroque palaces to brutalist blocks to shiny new Potsdamer Platz glass; today it’s a gritty, creative capital known for art, nightlife and a frank reckoning with history.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Berlin →Los mejores meses
May and September — warm enough for beer gardens and boat trips, but not peak-heat or overrun. June can work if you catch a clear spell.
Peak / Festival Surge
June through August is peak, driven by summer festivals, open-air concerts and school holidays. Hotel prices jump 20-40%, and Alexanderplatz gets chock-full.
La temporada del hombro
April and October — lower rates, milder weather (10-15°C), fewer tourists. You can still do all the main sites without the crush.
Tiempo y embalaje
Berlin weather is famously fickle — a sunny morning can turn to drizzle by lunch. Pack layers: a light waterproof jacket and a sweater you can tie round your waist.
