The Lowdown

Among festivals, the Berlin International Film Festival, or Berlinale, ranks among the favorites among frequenters of the festival circuit - and this despite the dreary, cold Central European weather. Probably one of Berlin’s biggest assets is the city itself. The German capital has long been a mecca for artists, bohemians, and all creative types from the avant garde to the established. The city’s populace bustles with a 24-hour pace for the party die-hards. Yet, it also has a laid-back vibe with charming cafes in addition to stately museums. Also of note, Berlin is quite cheap compared to other major European capitals, and this despite a surging Euro.
