A city of contrasts is Berlin, modern and traditional. The Brandenburg Gate built in 1788, the Victory Column, the Red Town Hall, the church of Emperor Wilhelm, the Charlottenburg Palace with its English and French gardens, are but a few of the sights worth visiting. Experience exceptional moments at the Metropolis of Arts and pay visits to operas, theatres, galleries, the Museum of Pergamon, with its priceless treasures, and the modern Philharmonic building with its wavy roof. At Potsdamer Platz, you can see a remnant of the Berlin Wall, the demolition of which is a unique symbol of unification. Berlin has the largest area and population of any city in Germany.
The metropolis is characterized by its thirst for life. No day is the same as the previous one. Whoever leaves Berlin for even a few weeks, will on return discover remarkable happenings and unbelievable experimentations, not to mention new galleries, exhibitions and theatrical shows. Take a walk between Hackescher Market and Friedrichstrasse and you will come across more than 40 bars, cafés, trendy shops and galleries.
