Berlin carries on from where the German brothers Grimm left off by passing on some of the world's most famous fairytales this autumn.

Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm were academics who set about researching one of the best-loved collections of children's stories in history.

They gathered together tales like Rumpelstiltskin, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Hansel and Gretel.

Book a cheap hotel in Berlin for your children to see productions of the plays as well as hear the stories before bed time.

During the Berliner Marchentage, Berlin Days of Fairy Tales, children can listen to readings, hear music and see stage performances of these classics.

The TellStories festival runs from November 6th to 23rd at venues around the city.

Work from famous German writer Johann Goethe is also featured, touching on his romantic, poetic and fictional sides.

But this year the 19th festival will mainly focus on myths and legends from Switzerland.

It will also touch on stories from other countries that border the river Danube.

Take a trip into this fairy wonderland to hear tales of heroes, animals and mythical creatures.

Berlin is renowned for its progressive thinkers.
