Berlin

Berlin, the capital of Germany, is a vibrant and diverse city known for its internationalism, lively nightlife, and rich history. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the city has undergone extensive reconstruction and transformation, blending historical and modern elements. 

You can explore different eras of German history in Berlin, from surviving medieval structures near Alexanderplatz to the contrast of the ultra-modern glass and steel buildings in Potsdamer Platz. To make the most of your museum visits, consider the three-day Museum Pass, which provides access to around 55 state-run museums and public foundations. 

Notable attractions include Charlottenburg Palace with its baroque garden, the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum for contemporary art, the Jewish Museum chronicling Germany's Jewish history, the Berlin Wall Museum at Checkpoint Charlie, the Reichstag building housing the Bundestag, the iconic Brandenburg Gate, the modern Potsdamer Platz, the Berliner Philharmonie, home to the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and the bustling shopping street, Kurfürstendamm.
