That is why we have put together an online Berlin Travel Guide full of essential information for your trip.
Although a wall no longer divides east and west, Berlin remains a city of dichotomies. Germany's capital, the nation's largest with nearly three-and-a-half million inhabitants, is both coolly contemporary and strongly traditional. Prussian monuments and pieces of the Berlin Wall coexist with modern high-rises and trendy nightclubs. Current events and deep-rooted history maintain a strong presence for local residents, who have demonstrated a formidable ability to survive and prosper in the face of adversity and change.
