If you’re into art, but want to try somewhere new, it’s worth visiting the lesser-known artistic cities of Bruges and Berlin. With distinct style and character, each city has many excellent art galleries. Even better, you can get great deals on both Bruges and Berlin hotels all year round.

Berlin has a colourful history and this has helped its art scene thrive in the present day. One of the most unique art galleries is the Kunsthaus Tacheles. This art center was formerly a department store and Nazi prison before it was take over by an art collective over a decade ago. The urban vibe, wild graffiti and street art here is like nothing you’ll see elsewhere. It’s also worth seeing the 19th Century classics at the Old National Gallery, on Museum Island. Here you’ll also find the New National Gallery with exhibitions of 20th Century art by Picasso, and Dali.

You can also head to to Belgium to get your art fix – Bruges is home to many great art galleries, such as the Groeningemuseumm. Whatever your preferred style or era of art, you’ll find it covered here. Head to the 18th century riverside mansion of Arentshuis, which has two separate parts. Explore the Lace Museum downstairs for displays of lace from around the world or head upstairs for the Brangwyn Museum, dedicated to the work of artist Frank Brangwyn. Or, for a unique venue, drop into St John’s Hospital. This is one of the oldest hospital buildings in Europe, but it’s also home to The Memling Museum, where you’ll discover masterpieces by the artist Memling. If you book ahead you’ll find great rates at Bruges hotels.

If you’re enthusiastic about art and expression, then you’ll love both Berlin and Bruges. Book ahead for the best deals on travel and hotels.
