With spring about to start, is this a special time<br />
to visit <strong>Berlin</strong>?<br />
When the café chairs are again put out on<br />
the street, spring begins in <strong>Berlin</strong>. Particularly<br />
recommended at this time are the numerous parks<br />
and gardens of the city. The green highlight this<br />
year will be the International Garden Exhibition<br />
in Marzahn, which opens on April 13.<br />

visitors to <strong>ITB</strong> <strong>Berlin</strong> should attend?<br />
In March the new concert hall, named after<br />
the composer and musician Pierre Boulez, will<br />
be opened at the Barenboim Said Academy.<br />
<strong>Berlin</strong>’s newest classical music highlight is<br />
impressive, not only due to the outstanding<br />
acoustics, but also the extraordinary architecture<br />
of Frank Gehry.<br />
