About Berlin
Berlin is the capital of Germany and the seat of its federal government and parliament. Beyond politics, it is a major centre for start-ups, media and the arts, and its history as a once-divided city draws visitors to the Brandenburg Gate, the remains of the Berlin Wall and its many museums and galleries.
Berlin is on Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) in summer. All of Germany uses the same zone, as do neighbours such as France, Poland, Austria and the Netherlands, so most of continental Europe shows the same time as Berlin. Office hours commonly run from around 8 or 9am to 5 or 6pm, Monday to Friday, one hour ahead of London.
