Berlin In Your Pocket city guide

Berlin In Your Pocket city guide
After a deliciously cold snap in January, there's just a few months of shivering to go before glorious spring arrives. Until then, Berliners spend their time staying warm and dreaming. For example at February's huge Berlinale Film Festival, which screens 400 films in ten days, putting some 300,000 bums on seats. It's relatively easy to get tickets for the less mainstream films, and screenings are usually suitable for English-speakers, so do give it a try if you're in town.

Another place to dream far, far away is the annual ITB Tourism Fair, held in at the Berlin Messe in early March. Tens of thousands of travel industry professionals, journalists and curious travellers descend upong Berlin from across the globe to see where to go next. Visiting the fair is exhiliarating as besides brochures there's music, food and drinks as well, but slogging through the halls can be tiring too; come early and accept you can't see the world in a day.
