Germany's capital is also the second most populous city in the European Union, after London. Home to world-renowned orchestras and museums, Berlin is a modern metropolis with powerful ties to its past. Once capital of the Kingdom of Prussia and the German Empire, the city was the oft bombed base for the Third Reich until the end of World War II.
The Berlin Wall Memorial stands as testament to the nearly 30 years (1961-1989) of the Cold War when the city remained divided into East and West, while the Jewish Museum and Holocaust Memorial serve as testament to the city’s unfortunate history of persecution.
Known today for its low cost of living and high quality of life amongst Europe’s bustling metropolises, Berlin draws visual, literary, and performance artists from around the world. Art lovers can experience the creative spirit of the city in one of Berlin's many galleries, or in a healthy dose of street art.
From the columns of the Brandenburg Gate to domes of Museum Island, Berlin is filled with architectural sites to behold. And the walkable and bikeable streets make it easy to spend days taking it all in at your leisure.
