Press Release: In the Midnight Hour

Tuesday 16th October 2007

If you are more of a night owl than an early bird visit Berlin this autumn for some late night fun. On 27th October Berlin presents the Long Night of Shopping, when the clocks go back and the shops stay open until midnight. This shopaholics paradise takes place on and around boulevard Kurfürstendamm (popularly known as the Ku'damm), Berlin’s famous shopping street, where you can indulge your Hermes habit or put some sparkle into your life at Swarovski. Visit Berlin with Railbookers and stay at the stylish 5* InterContinental Berlin Hotel in the centre of the city from just £319 for 2 nights accommodation including breakfast and return train travel.

There simply aren’t enough hours in the day to enjoy all the cultural attractions Cologne has to offer, so on 3rd November you can ponder the exhibits of over 40 museums and art galleries until 3 am during the Long Night of the Museums. Which means you will have an excuse for eating chocolate in the early hours at the Schokoladen Museum, or indulging your passion for contemporary art at the Museum Ludwig. Take a trip to Cologne this autumn with Railbookers and stay at the elegant 4* Jolly Hotel Cologne from just £209 for 2 nights accommodation including breakfast and return train travel.

If you have a taste for the surreal the René Magritte Museum is just one of the museums taking place in the Brussels Nocturnes on 1 November when many of Brussels’ museums will open between 5-10 pm. Alternatively you can rediscover your childhood at the Toy Museum, drinks are also available for a more grown up feel.  Brussels Nocturnes will be taking place every Thursday evening until the 20th December, with different museums opening on different nights. Visit Brussels with Railbookers and stay at the modern 4* Novotel Brussels from just £159 for 3 night accommodation with the 3rd night free, including breakfast and return train travel.
