Berlin is always evolving. It saw the destruction of World War II and the Cold War division of East and West. Germany's largest city, Berlin has been growing rapidly since its reunification. Tourists around the world know Berlin for many things. These include its pivotal role on the world stage, internationalism and tolerance, and lively nightlife. Don't forget the city's bustling cafes, large parks, street art, galleries, palaces, and historical sights. There are many distinct neighborhoods to explore in Berlin. Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, and Neukolln are cool and bohemian, while Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, and Charlottenburg are more affluent and known for their restaurants. All are distinctly cosmopolitan.

From the Brandenburg Gate to the Reichstag and Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin's landmarks are impressive. Berlin is a sprawling destination (by European standards), and many of its major sights are spread throughout the city. You'll find yourself taking advantage of its extensive, efficient public transport network, ranging from subways to an official rowboat ferry. Berlin provides a very multicultural and diverse experience. You can expect anything but the traditional. This also goes for the cuisine in Berlin. You'll find more international restaurants than those serving German fare. But you can certainly enjoy a tasty brew and a mouthwatering sausage in Berlin. It's still part of Germany, after all!
