With 40% of its surface area made up of parks, gardens and forests, Berlin is literally a green city (over 2,500 green spaces). But it's also a city that's easy to get around by bike or public transport, with a highly advanced waste management system, recent eco-neighborhoods and numerous sustainable accommodation options.
We've chosen 5 to help you plan your next trip to Berlin.
Ten minutes' walk from the train and you're at the Urban Loft ! A modern hotel with an elegant decor. Art is also featured in the rooms with beautiful prints. It has a gym, perfect coworking spaces and a terrace.

Scandinavian style, light and nature - that's the recipe for this hotel. Rooms feature parquet flooring and light colors. Large bay windows let the light in.

If you want to work out, a fully-equipped gym awaits you on the 8th floor, with a panoramic view of the city as a bonus. For something a little more chill, head for the sauna!

Would you like to spend the night in Berlin without going to a hotel? HomeExchange tick a separate box: here, you exchange your house or apartment with other travelers, either in return or thanks to GuestPoints. As a result, you can pack your bags and move into a real place to live, often in a residential area, with a kitchen to prepare your meals and Berlin's public transport network at your fingertips.
When it comes to eco-responsibility, the idea is simple but powerful: use accommodation that already exists, rather than contributing to the construction of ever more tourist accommodations. And in Berlin, the perfect city to explore by train, streetcar, metro or bike, HomeExchange lets you experience the destination in a gentler, more human way, and often much more economically.

The opinion of Rosalie, who tested it for you during her stay in Berlin:
"HomeExchange is a great alternative for being immersed with the locals (much more authentic than a soulless airBnB or a hotel). My host gave me all his good addresses beforehand: a great way to explore Berlin off the beaten path. But above all, it's a hyper-economical option: having free accommodation for 4 days in a capital city (once the annual membership has been paid) is pretty incredible!"
